Adding photos to Snapfish is easy—no matter how you get them there: camera phone, e-mail, or good old-fashioned upload. Here are three ways to get you started.

1. From your desktop.
  Uploading doesn't get any easier than the QuickUpload tool from Snapfish. With this tool, you can quickly transfer your photos online in batches. Whether you have a PC or a Mac, just install this simple application and it will automatically guide you through the upload process each time you add photos to your account.

To upload pictures individually, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to your Snapfish account
Step 2: Click "upload photos."

 

 

Step 3: Create a new album, or select an existing one.

Step 4: Browse to the photos you want to upload and choose "upload selected photos."

You can also send photos to the site from your e-mail account or a camera phone. First, add your e-mail address and mobile number to your account by selecting your account in the upper-right corner of your screen. Then, you simply send your picks to save@mysnapfish.com.

2. From HP Photosmart Essential
  You can organize, edit, print and share your digital photos on your computer using HP Photosmart Essential, free, downloadable imaging software. To share photos via e-mail, simply select Share to add photos to an existing Snapfish photo album or create a new photo album.

You can also send photos to the site from your e-mail account or a camera phone. First, add your e-mail address and mobile number to your account by selecting your account in the upper-right corner of your screen. Then, you simply send your picks to save@mysnapfish.com.

3. From your storage media
  If you'd prefer, you can send in digital photos stored on a memory card, a CD or DVD—even floppy disks and zip disks—and Snapfish will do the uploading for you.

To get started, just visit the digital photo upload service page, print and fill out the order form and send it to Snapfish along with your digital media. Once Snapfish receives your order and uploads to your account, you will receive an e-mail telling you your photos are ready to view. Your digital media will then be returned to you.

    Sharing prints from Snapfish by mail


    Viewing photos online may not be the best option for some of your friends and family. Maybe you'd prefer to send them actual prints? In that case, Snapfish has you covered. Order prints for others the same way you would for yourself. Have photos, photo books—anything Snapfish offers—sent to any address you choose.

    Fun features of your online albums


     

     

    Once you've filled a few online albums, you can go even further to make them unique. Here are some possibilities:

    • Relive the special moments of your vacation or baby shower by adding a caption to each of your pictures (up to 248 characters). Add captions by selecting the edit and organize tab.
    • There are no storage limits on Snapfish, so don't be shy about creating multiple albums. Want to make an album of the kids especially for Grandma? Go ahead. Again, just select the edit and organize tab, and you can move, copy, and reorganize your pictures anytime you want.
    • Choose a "cover" photo that you want to represent each Snapfish album by selecting edit album settings.

  • Edit album settings also lets you select an art theme for your album and add other creative touches like borders.
