Share photos

With whom can I share my photos?

Can I share more than one album at a time?
Yes, you can. Learn how to share multiple albums.

Can I share only certain photos from an album, or do I have to share the whole thing?

The Share invitation email

What does the email invitation look like when my friends receive it?
The 'From' line on the email will be the first and last name on your Snapfish account. The 'To' line on the email will contain only the email address of an individual recipient. Individual recipients of a share email cannot see the email addresses of anyone else who was invited to see your photos.

The 'Subject' line of the email is standardised by default, however, you may overwrite it. The main part of the email will contain the personalised message that you typed in, plus instructions on how to see your photo or album(s) and a link to your photos. It will also contain the first photo in the album you shared.

Will the invitation email tell my invited friends what to do?
The email tells your recipients exactly how to see your pictures. All your recipients have to do is click on the link provided and then type in their email address and choose a password.

Are there any email attachments involved?
There are no attachments to emails sent from the Snapfish website. The pictures your friends see are securely stored in the Snapfish computer system, and they are viewed on the Snapfish website.

Can I write a personal message or change anything in the album invite?
Yes, you may personalise the subject line and main message that will be sent to your recipients when you invite them to see your photos. The instructions on how to see your photos cannot be changed.

What do I do if I decide I do not want to share?
If you have not already clicked 'Share these albums', just click the 'Cancel' button. The invitation email will not be sent.

How do I know that the invitation was sent?
You will see a confirmation page that contains the name of the albums and the list of email addresses from the invitation. You can also choose to receive a copy of the email by checking the 'Send me a copy' box below the message field during the sharing process.

After sharing

Once I have shared photos, what can my friends do with them?
By signing in to Snapfish using an email address and a password, your friends can see the album, order prints and photo gifts, and share the album with whomever they choose. Your friends cannot move, edit, re-caption, or delete the photos within your album. Only you can make changes to your album.

Can people I share with order reprints? Who pays for them?
Can people I share with order reprints? Who pays for them?

What do you do with the email addresses of people I share with?
The email addresses are added to your Snapfish Address Book, so you can share albums again without having to re-type email addresses. Snapfish never uses these email address in any other way.

Making changes to a shared album

If I share an album and then make changes to it, can my friends see the changes?
Yes. You still own your album; your recipients just have an invitation to see it. If you want to add photos to an album, update photo captions, etc., your invited recipients will see these changes in your album.

When I share an album, can other people make changes to it?
No. Only the album's original owner can make changes to the album.

If I share an album and then to delete it, can invited friends still see the album in their accounts?
No. After you delete an album, your invited friends will no longer be able to see it.

I have shared an album but do not want anyone to see it anymore. What can I do?
If you have already shared an album with friends, the only way you can prevent them from seeing it is to delete it. In order not to lose your photos, just move all the photos into a new album and then delete the old, empty album.

Privacy

Why do my friends have to sign up when I share my pictures with them?
When we ask your friends to create their own accounts, we ensure the privacy and security of your photos.

When I share with someone, do they have access to my account and other albums?
Absolutely not! When you share an album with a friend, only that specific album can be seen by your friend. The photos are viewed in your friends'' own password-protected account on the Snapfish site.

Can the public see my photos?
No. The only people who see your photos are the people who receive an email invitation from you. People who receive an email invitation from you can also invite friends to view these photos by sending an email invitation.
