What would you like to know about aftersnap?

aftersnap is a service for professional photographers who want to deliver photos in elegant online galleries: protected when shared, with face recognition, slideshow and, if you like, your own domain.

You create an account for free and try every feature of the Studio plan during the free trial, no payment details needed. After that you choose the plan that suits you. There is an overview on the pricing page.

Log in, click “New gallery” in the dashboard, give it a title and upload photos. Inside a gallery you can create sets to organise the photos.

Straight in the browser, by dragging and dropping them into the gallery, or from Adobe Lightroom Classic through our publish plugin, which keeps galleries and sets in sync by itself.

Every gallery has a link you can pass on directly or send by email. Your guests need no account of their own to open it.

Yes. You set a password in the gallery settings. There is also a separate master password for you as the photographer, which unlocks all photos at once, for example.

You set an optional expiry date per gallery. After that the gallery is no longer publicly reachable. Without an expiry date it stays online for as long as your plan allows.

Yes, depending on your plan. Your own subdomain (yourname.aftersnap.io) and connecting your own domain both depend on the plan; the pricing page shows which plan includes what. Without either, the gallery link runs through aftersnap.io, and your guests get in just the same.

Deleted galleries go to the bin first and can be restored from there. Once the retention period is over, they are removed for good automatically.

You decide that per gallery. Downloads can be switched off entirely, limited to favourites, or allowed for every photo.

Large bulk downloads are packed into a ZIP in the background. If the file is ready already, the download starts at once; otherwise the guest leaves an email address and gets a download link as soon as the ZIP is ready. The link is valid for several days.

Yes, if you switch on “Favourites” for the gallery (together with downloads). Your guests mark their favourite photos with a heart and can then download just that selection instead of the whole gallery. The marks live in the guest’s browser and are there for their own choosing.

In galleries with face recognition switched on, a guest uploads a selfie and automatically finds the photos they appear in. You can switch the feature on gallery by gallery.

A full-screen slideshow that runs by itself, with music if you like. You can create several per gallery, each with its own selection of photos, its own music and its own link; one of them starts from the button on the cover page. The pricing page shows which plans include slideshows and the AI suggestion for the selection.

Yes, depending on your plan you can switch on a watermark for the preview images of a gallery.

They let you share a selection with specific partners (the venue, the florist, the planner). Vendors get access of their own and can use the photos you have released to them.

Under “Collages” you create a carousel, choose galleries and mark the photos. The automatic layout spreads them over the slides, and a photo can run across the border into the next slide. Each slide comes out on its own at 1440 × 1800 pixels, and a QR code saves them to the photos on your phone with one tap. Collages depend on your plan.

Current plans, storage limits and included features are on the pricing page. You can try the Studio plan without payment details; the length and the terms are shown on the plan itself.

You manage your plan in your account. An upgrade opens the extra features immediately.

Delete galleries you no longer need permanently from the trash, or move to a plan with more storage. While a gallery sits in the trash, its photos still count. You can see your usage in the dashboard.

Your billing details and receipts are in the user menu under “Billing details”.

Use the “Forgotten password” link on the login page. You then get an email with a link for setting a new one.

Open “Support” in the dashboard and grant a look at your account there. aftersnap logs every visit, you can end it at any time, and it closes by itself 48 hours after the last visit. We do not need your password for it.

aftersnap is operated in the EU. The details of the processing are in the privacy policy, and a data processing agreement is available for processing on your behalf.

Open your profile settings in the dashboard and start the account deletion there. We schedule your account and delete galleries, photos, profile and login for good after 14 days; until then you can undo it. A running subscription ends immediately.

Just open the link in your browser. If the gallery is password protected, enter the password your photographer gave you. You need no account of your own.

If face recognition is switched on for the gallery, open the selfie search and take a photo or pick one. The gallery then shows the images with a matching detection. The selfie is only processed for this search; the gallery shows you the notes on that before you start.

Yes. The gallery works on phone, tablet and desktop. Whether downloads are available, and at what image size, is set by the photographer.
