Appeal & Flexibility:  

Snapfish is primarily for displaying photos and buying prints and gifts. So what makes Snapfish a special photo sharing site? It offers “group rooms” where multiple users can add photos to one album. This is a great way to add various points of view to one event. Users can create a personalized URL, decorate their group room to match the theme of the photos and then send an invitation email to people they want to join in on the group room. Everyone invited can add photos and comments to the event’s specific room.

Another plus is that unlike other many other image hosting services, like Flickr, Snapfish offers free, unlimited uploads. This means you can store photos there as well as share them with others.

Ease in Uploading:  

The uploading area includes several ways to make your uploading experience fool-proof. There is a video tutorial that you can watch before uploading your photos and a dropdown tutorial you can read on-screen without the need of opening a new window. There’s no way you can mess up here no matter how new you are to online picture hosting.

Multimedia Features:  

To go along with the simple theme, Snapfish offers straight-forward, no-frills multimedia features. Users can share photos by sending them to social media sites such as Twitter or Facebook and by emailing photo links to friends.

You can also create what this picture hosting site calls a “Snapshow.” This is a slideshow that you can customize with songs, animated themes, and titles in four quick steps. 

Prints and Additional Product Options:  

This image hosting site will satisfy your need for prints and gifts. It has a wide array of printing options that rivals Kodak Gallery.

Snapfish also offers a pre-pay option that saves customers up to 63% off regular prices. Essentially, you load your account with money to be used for picture purchases in the future. It sort-of works like a gift card for yourself that locks in low prices.

Ease of Use:  

It’s pretty hard to get lost on this site. It is so simple and there are so many tutorials and directions that you will be able to learn everything on your first visit.

Snapfish offers a surprisingly wide array of editing features and embellishments for such a simple photo sharing site. Though there are a lot of options, the editing and decorating area is very easy to use thanks to a tab-style layout.

Help & Support:  

The help on this image hosting site is nothing if not thorough. Every task has a video tutorial, a written tutorial or a tip on how to use the feature. The site also includes a help area where there are articles on taking better pictures, using the site’s features and tips on creating photo gifts and photobooks.

Snapfish is a snap to use and a fool-proof way to post photos online. For more easy online image hosting sites, check out our reviews of Photobucket, Picasa and Piczo.
