photo release form

For photo jobs, the end goal is simple: quickly find what was approved for what — without folder chaos.

Translator: What’s often called “consent/release” we treat as a shared approval (Living Consent) — one shared state that’s visible to both sides and whose changes are documented in the history. Learn more.

Problem

Many use PDFs, folders, WhatsApp, or Canva templates. It works until you later need to find a release: which version, for which purpose, for which occasion?

Solution with LegitForm

LegitForm bundles everything per occasion. Approval arrives as 🟡 received. Finalizing creates the proof (PDF + protocol + timestamp) — then exportable.

Occasion Consent 🟡 Received 🟢 Finalize Proof
Important: The proof is created only when you finalize — before that there’s no export.

Flow

  1. Create an occasion (shoot, event, job).
  2. Select purposes (website, social, advertising).
  3. Share link/QR — approval comes in (🟡).
  4. Only if needed: finalize → proof is created.
  5. Export finalized proofs as ZIP.

Comparison

PDF / template
  • PDF sits somewhere (Drive/folder/chat).
  • Purposes/versions quickly get unclear.
  • Searching costs time.
  • Export = manual assembling.
LegitForm
  • The occasion keeps everything together.
  • 🟡 interim vs 🟢 finalized is unambiguous.
  • Finalizing creates the proof; only then exportable.
  • ZIP export without manual work.

What should a photo release form include?

In short: who approves, what the photo can be used for, and when approval was given — ideally documented per occasion.

Can I use a PDF template?

Yes. If you often need to find/explain it later, an occasion-based process helps more than just a file.

When is it exportable?

In LegitForm only after you finalize: that’s when the proof (PDF + protocol) is created.

How does it work with a QR code?

You share link or QR. Participants confirm in the browser — without an account.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. In the Starter plan you can try for 14 days and capture up to 10 approvals. After that you can continue with Standard without limits.
