Scrappbook quality, plus a RAW workflow and source-available.
Scrappbook has established itself in DACH wedding photography — and rightly so. Lumio offers comparable features plus RAW delivery, video streaming and a self-host option as lock-in insurance. From €9/month.
Where Lumio goes beyond Scrappbook
For studios with editorial and ad jobs.
Anyone working beyond weddings — editorial, advertising, look-books — often has to deliver RAW files to clients. Lumio decodes CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, ORF server-side (LibRaw), shows instant previews, and delivers the original on download.
Wedding film and photos in one gallery.
If you provide wedding films on the side or as a main service, you can put them right in the gallery. HLS streaming with adaptive bitrate and scrubbing preview — no external Vimeo account needed.
One account, five brandings (Pro plan).
If you work under several brands — e.g. weddings under one name, business portraits under another — you can model that in Lumio Pro without managing multiple accounts.
Source-available as lock-in protection.
If Lumio Cloud ever stops fitting, you can move to your own infrastructure. The product stays functional — secured by the FSL license and the automatic Apache-2.0 release after 2 years.

When Scrappbook stays the better choice.
If your business is heavily based on print sales straight from the gallery — the couple orders an album, wall art, frames right after the gallery is released — then Scrappbook's integrated shop with its German lab partners is currently superior. We're working on it, but today this function is still missing.
But if you mainly do gallery handover and selection and run prints through your own workflow (e.g. your own album designer), Lumio is a serious and cheaper alternative — with extra features for RAW, video and multi-brand studios.
Common questions about switching
Scrappbook has unlimited storage — why would I switch to Lumio with limits? +
If you regularly store many weddings at full resolution and never archive, Scrappbook's storage model is genuinely more attractive. Lumio uses concrete limits because that's more honestly calculable and there are no hidden fair-use clauses. Via storage packs (50 GB for +€9/month) you can buy flexibly, and with gallery archiving (Solo: 10 active, any number archived) even high data volume is manageable.
What about Scrappbook's print shop? +
Both offer an integrated print shop where clients order albums and wall art straight from the gallery. The difference is the model: with Lumio you connect your own lab (e.g. Prodigi or Gelato) and keep the margin between sale and lab price — you're not tied to a fixed lab.
Am I locked into a vendor with Scrappbook? +
Scrappbook is an established German company, but as with any proprietary SaaS you have no guarantee on prices, features or continuity. Lumio is source-available (FSL) — as lock-in insurance you can switch to the self-host variant anytime. Scrappbook offers no such way out.
Does Lumio deliver the same gallery experience for clients as Scrappbook? +
Functionally yes: password-protected links, client selection, download control, branding, custom domain. On design polish, Scrappbook has set the standard in the DACH wedding scene for years. Lumio follows a somewhat more reduced, editorial-oriented design language — best to look at both demo galleries and decide on looks.
If I test Lumio, what happens to my Scrappbook account? +
Nothing. You can run both tools in parallel. We even recommend creating a new wedding in Lumio first and running the full workflow — from upload to client handover. Only then do you have a solid basis for comparison.
Test in parallel — zero migration risk.
You don't have to cancel Scrappbook to try Lumio. Create a test wedding in Lumio, run through the workflow, and compare the result with your current setup.
