Snapped4U News

Hello Photographers,

As a courtesy, we have republished all expired photo galleries created within the last two years.

To prevent your galleries from being deleted due to inactivity, please log in and reactivate them when they expire.

If you would like to permanently save your older galleries on our server, we now offer a storage subscription service for $99.00/year.

Hello Photographers,

As outlined in our Terms of Service, Snapped4u's primary focus is selling photos rather than serving as long-term storage. However, to accommodate the many requests we’ve received to keep older files, we are now offering a storage subscription for $99.00/year.

If you'd like to keep your older galleries active, simply email us at: [email protected] and we will get you set up.

Please note that we will soon begin clearing out inactive galleries to free up server space. We will prioritize removal in the following order:

Galleries that have never sold any photos.

Older galleries, starting with the earliest created.

As always, we have no intention of deleting galleries that are actively selling photos or are recent enough to generate sales in the future.

Best regards,

I am excited to announce that effective, May 15, 2026, I have taken over SNAPPED4U.  When I heard several months ago that Snapped4u was going to close, I was highly disappointed because it has always been a premier website that allowed photographers, including myself, to showcase and sell our work.  Diane started this company in 2010 and did a great job creating an application that made it so easy to sell our photos. Unfortunately, the costs of running the website have escalated exponentially in the last several years and the company is losing money.  My goal is to make Snapped4u both a viable company and the premier go-to site for all photographers, whether you are taking photos of celebrities on the Red Carpet in Hollywood, photos of your school’s sporting event, photos of your friend’s wedding, birthday party, or any memorable event.  No event is too small or too large.  Moving forward requires us to raise the rates that we charge.  After crunching the numbers and looking at every possible way to make this company break even, we have determined that we will have to raise the commission fee to 30%.  That will give photographers 70% of their photo sales.  This is actually the best deal around!  Getty and Shutterstock only give their photographers 15 – 45%.  Alamy only gives their photographers 20 – 50%.  The percentage Getty, Shutterstock and Alamy offer is directly based on sales.  At Snapped4u, you will receive 70% no matter who you are!  Additionally at other websites, unless you have newscaster privileges, there is a waiting period of up to two weeks to have your photos approved and uploaded.  At Snapped4u, there is no waiting period.  Your photo gallery is approved instantaneously.  (Please see our FEES page for the exact breakdown).

I look forward to helping all of you in your creative endeavors and hope you will continue to make SNAPPED4U your go-to site to showcase your photography.

Sincerely,

Nunzio Fazio

CEO

We are discontinuing the option to password protect a Snapped4U page. 

Since we also offer the option to password protect individual galleries, we think password protection of a photographer's page is unnecessary. Instead of being helpful, it often confuses customers and interferes with sales.

If privacy is a concern, please use gallery passwords. Visitors will go directly to your page, but then will need the gallery password to view photos from an event.

Hey, Account Owners! We've made a huge improvement!

It's now much, much easier for your customers to view your photos and make purchases from their mobile device!

This, along with our new shopping cart, greatly improves the customer shopping experience!

Our new shopping cart is up and running!

Updated Feb 7, 2024 to deleted outdated info.

1. A new shopping cart will soon greatly improve the customers' experience!

2. Our feature known as "Custom Page," will be renamed "Personal Page."

3. Two changes to our registration process are coming soon:

A Personal Page will be set up for each new account.

A $10 registration fee will be required.

4. We plan to keep our database up-to-date. Our Terms & Conditions now explain how:

If an Account Holder does not publish a gallery within 1 year of registering, that account will be deleted.

*** EDITED ON FEB 7, 2024 to delete out-dated info ***

1. We charge a one-time nonrefundable Registration Fee on new accounts. All new accounts will have a Personal Page, (formerly known as Custom Page).

2. A $0.50 handling fee will be added to each order.

3. Another change will be price increases in our sales aids. Our Caps & Cards Package will be $20 and our Business Cards will be $15. This is due to the increase in postage, (which we've ignored for the past 8 years!)

Our Terms & Conditions were updated on July 14, 2019. The only major change was:

1. The specification of "Nudity" as "Prohibited Content."

If you're uploading your photos and are interrupted by an error message saying Flash is needed, this page may help: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html We've heard from a handful of photographers who've encountered this error message in spite of having Flash installed. Apparently on many computers, Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome, but not enabled. This page gives you a quick fix to the problem.

Our Terms and Conditions were amended April 25, 2017. The new Terms are effective immediately for Account Owners registered after April 25, 2017. They are effective May 9, 2017 for Account Owners registered on or before April 25, 2017.

PLEASE! Remember that Snapped4U is for Event Photography and Portrait Shoots. Travel photography, artwork, stock photography, etc. is not welcome because it will not sell. The people who buy photos from Snapped4U are the people in the photos. We require an $8 fee for 4-months of posting other types of galleries and will delete those galleries if the fee is not paid.
