SmugMug Reviews

It is easy to manage and change things around. Its also great for photo storage.

It never remembers my log in details even though I also tick for it to!

Photo storage as a backup is great. Its a safety net to what I also already have in place.

For me, the speed of the website, the possibility of selling, and good photo display were important

The difficulty of the interface, the complexity of batch file processing, the interface is not intuitive. But you can get used to everything

Sale of photos from football matches, display of photos for camp parents

I love the fact that I can keep my clients photos private. I love that I can design the front page. It is simple to use and holds a lot storage wise. I have been using it for many years now.

I don't like the cost. It seems to continually go up. I may have to drop some important features just to afford it. Also, the preset folders are awsome but have limits, so my preset folder isn't entirely saved as a preset.

A place all clients can see and download their images. A cheaper way to have my own website.

I love that I can have my mobile device sync the photos taken to my SmugMug account so that I am never worried that I will lose my photos

I wish that it had the technology to tag people's faces and that it would make albums based on that data.

I can store my photos and videos online and I am confident in the security of those photos as well as the confidence that I will always have access to the photos that I have taken.

Smugmug provides a stable platform to host high resolution photography while maintaining speed.

I love being able to customize websites though the lack of javascript makes it difficult to fully design the website to my brand. The addition of CSS and HTML is nice to customize the site but javascript is needed for certain design choices.

I dont have to worry about website storage or worry that I cant upload my clients galleries.

.Easy to use and keep company photos all in one place

So far I have not seen any downside to using this platform

Sharing company event photos with every member of the company

Online viewing galleries are customizable, they offer many settings for viewers regarding privacy, purchase and download options and more. As a photographer, smugmug allows me to showcase my clients work beautifully and protect them as I see fit. Reliable too! I have been with smugmug since 2012 and have always been a happy customer!

Nothing! Before 2021, you couldn't upload RAW photos but you now can for a nominal additional fee to your subscription! Hence, nothing I dislike!

I am securely able to host my clients galleries online for viewing and purchase options, as well as know they are backed up with smugmug safe and sound!

I like the no limit on storage the best.

Moving images between galleries is cumbersome.

Get an idea how you want to organize your images and stick to a naming convention.

Sharing images and keeping them organized.

I love storing all of our team's photos in one central location where everyone has access. This website has improved our file sharing vastly and allows us to share work in an easier, more productive manner. It's also great because you can easily share photos with people outside of the SmugMug team by creating a password-protected gallery. That way, people can see the photos we want them to see without seeing things we might not want them to see.

The setup is not the most intuitive (at least for our team!). The option to set up new galleries vs new folders threw off our system so that we now have extra layers to wade through before getting to the correct place. Totally our bad, but that's the difference between "gallery" and "folder."

When you are setting up your account, I recommend creating new galleries w/ folders within them; NOT creating new galleries with galleries within them. It's an extra layer that will help you in the long run. :)

We are solving file sharing! Prior to using SmugMug we had multiple servers on our desktop computers that were a maze to navigate through. Now, we have one location where everything is clearly labeled and organized.

I like how easy it is to use smug mug and deliver photos to my clients. I also like being able to personalize and have as many albums as I want. The personalization factor is huge for me. Also, being able to manage all of the gallery settings is huge, they change for each client I have.

Sometimes I feel like the quality drops on my photos and it is hard to find the right setting for the gallery.

Sometimes this has issues with plugins and I cannot get it to work well with Lightroom at times.

This is how I get my photos to my paying clients. It iOS the only tool I use and it works great, people love it! They say it is easy to use and download.
