File names of delivered photos

Delivered photos keep the file name you uploaded; a revision adds .xN before the extension, so newer versions never overwrite older ones.

Edited photos come back under the name you gave them, so they line up with your own catalog without renaming anything.

The rule

  • The name stays yours. Cheer.jpg is delivered as Cheer.jpg, not as an order number or an internal code.
  • The extension can change. A RAW file is delivered as a finished image, so Cheer.cr3 comes back as Cheer.jpg.
  • A revision adds .xN before the extension. Photos from the First delivery have no suffix; photos delivered in Revision 1 end in .x1, Revision 2 in .x2, and so on.
What you uploaded First delivery After one revision After two
Cheer.jpg Cheer.jpg Cheer.x1.jpg Cheer.x2.jpg
Cheer.cr3 Cheer.jpg Cheer.x1.jpg Cheer.x2.jpg
DSC_0412.CR2 DSC_0412.jpg DSC_0412.x1.jpg DSC_0412.x2.jpg

The suffix is what keeps a revision from overwriting the version you already saved in the same folder.

Inside an archive

Photos inside a Download All in Full-Res archive follow the same rule. If two photos in one version would end up with the same name — including names that differ only in upper and lower case, which Windows and macOS treat as the same file — one of them gets an extra code added so that nothing is overwritten when you unpack it. Characters that cannot appear in a file name on Windows or macOS, such as /, are replaced inside the archive.

The name of the archive file itself is not a fixed rule and can change between deliveries — sort by download date rather than by archive name if you keep several.
