The problem every architect and designer knows.

Architecture and interiors work from precedent — a detail, a finish, the way light falls through a particular window — and clients understand pictures better than drawings. The right image has to be found during the meeting, not after it.

cine.gallery files precedent images, finishes and details so they can be searched by material and daylight, and shared with a client as a gallery rather than a slide deck.

What goes in it.

Frequently asked questions.

It is built for anyone who works from visual references — film, photography, brand and design. Precedent images, finishes and details, filed so they can be found during a meeting rather than after it.

No. Uploads are analysed for search as they land, so describing what is in the picture works from the start. Suggested tags are there to confirm or reject when you want sharper results.

Yes. A gallery shared by link or published opens in any browser. Guest uploads let collaborators add files to a shared gallery with just a name and an email.

On your own, Solo: a private library of 2,000 uploads, ten galleries, sharing and original downloads. When a department needs one shared library, move to Team.
