SmugMug offers an online video platform that includes image hosting and paid image sharing. Users can upload their videos or photos, facilitating the sale of print and digital media for photographers from all walks of life. In 2018, the brand purchased Flickr from Oath. The company got its start in 2002 with a father and son team who were passionate about creating better social experiences for photographers. They started on a shoestring budget in their family home, taking zero venture capital funds to build their brand. As the company grew, engineers started working out of spare bedrooms while circuit breakers routinely popped. They eventually moved into real offices in Mountain View, which is where they still operate. You don’t need to register to view the images, ensuring that your privacy remains intact. Four different account levels with unique feature subsets are available, with numerous options for security and privacy with published photos. It’s one of the few platforms that offers a gallery-level password. If you sign up with a professional account, you can add a custom digital watermark to each image to protect it. If you love photography, you’ll want to explore the numerous choices available for you on this unique image-based platform.

SmugMug FAQ:

1. How do I contact customer service? - SmugMug doesn’t provide phone-based customer service. If you see a website promoting a specific number, tread carefully when dialing. It is likely a scam.

2. What DPI should I use for my files? - Although you may want to consider your overall resolution when uploading images to your account, it doesn’t matter what your DPI is for each file.

3. What do I need to crop? - SmugMug doesn’t require you to crop photos before you can upload an image to fit the site’s products. Using the proof-delay when selecting an order is a better solution for your photographs and orders.

4. Does SmugMug offer FTP services? - Although you can’t have the company upload files on your behalf, you can do the work yourself. Third-party options are also available.

5. How do I protect my images? - Several watermarking options are available on the site to protect your artistry and intellectual property. You can select to turn off printing, social sharing, and block access to originals to reduce issues with theft.
