Your profile

Your profile is the page clients land on when they look you up. It shows your work, your sessions and packages, your reviews and a way to get in touch. You edit it from Manage, then Profile, or by tapping your initials at the top right of any dashboard page.

To see it the way clients do, tap Preview Profile → at the top of the page. It opens in a new tab.

Choose your public link

The Your public link card sets the address of your profile, for example nipcystudio.com/portfolio/your-name.

1. Type the name you want in the box. Use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
2. Nipcy checks it as you type. You will see is available. or Taken. Try another.
3. Tap Save. The button only works once the name has changed and is free.
4. Tap Copy to copy the full link.

You can change it later. Your old link still works, so links you already shared keep landing on your profile.

Your plan

The Your plan card shows which plan you are on, its price and how many photos it holds. Tap Upgrade or Change plan to see the plans, and Manage billing to update your card or see invoices. Everything about plans is in Plans and billing.

Profile photo, logo and cover

Each of these saves as soon as you upload it. You do not need to tap Save changes.

• Profile photo: tap Upload photo. A clear photo of your face works best.
• Studio logo: tap Upload logo. It appears on your galleries, contracts, invoices and emails. A wide logo around 400 by 200 pixels fits best. Use Replace logo or Remove to change it.
• Cover photo: tap Upload cover photo. This is the wide banner at the top of your profile, about 1600 by 400 pixels. Use Replace cover or Remove to change it.

All three take JPEG, PNG or WebP files up to 50 MB.

Your portfolio

The Portfolio card holds the photos shown in the work section of your profile.

1. If you want, pick a category in Upload category first.
2. Drag photos onto Drop photos here or click to upload, or tap it to choose files. You can add several at once.
3. The first photo is your cover photo for the portfolio.

• Sage: soft greens, arched photos.
• Cream: warm creams, square corners.
• Romantic: white and cream, full-screen hero.
• Folio: magazine layout, white and cream.
• Charcoal: split hero, swipe-through gallery.

Heading font sets the font for your headings. A preview shows it as you choose. Your link in bio page uses the same theme.

Tap Save changes to apply them.

What clients see

Your public profile shows, depending on what you have set up:
