SmugMug's mantras are ease of use and style. Easy for you to upload and arrange. Easy for your admirers to navigate and buy prints.
Upload 100s of photos with a few clicks. Bulk caption, bulk move, and bulk delete. If your captions are embedded in your photos as IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) data, we automatically use them.
You can replace SmugMug's logo, header, footer, and color scheme with your own.
Examples:
Or just pick a pre-made theme.
If you choose a nickname like Ansel that no one has claimed, you could be ansel.smugmug.com. But if you own ansel.com, you can use it for your SmugMug galleries. Example.
Automatically apply custom watermarks as you add your photos to SmugMug. It won't affect your prints. Turn on right-click protection on a gallery-by-gallery basis. Turn off access to your high-resolution originals.
Make any gallery private. Or password-protected. Send clients to a group of private galleries via a single URL. More.
SmugMug won't ask you to delete photos to make room for new ones because your quota at SmugMug is unlimited.
As long as you're using your professional account for photo sharing—posting photos to forums & blogs, and inviting visitors to view your galleries—your traffic is unlimited.
It's not intended to host non-photographic web graphics for commercial websites.

When your admirers use our search engine, we search just your galleries. You can add a search box and place it almost anywhere on your pages.
You can also add IPTC keywords to your photos before uploading to SmugMug, and our search engine will return results matching those keywords. It's a way for you to embed hidden search terms in your photos.
We love the Mac like many pro photographers do. Go ahead... give our MacDaddy uploader a spin.
Few companies answer support email within hours. We make sure we do because we know you're entrusting your business to us. Try us.
Our prints are provided by a professional lab in Georgia named EZ Prints with outstanding quality, quick turnaround, broad selection and consumer prices. We chose them after an extensive shootout and consulting with our professional customers.
We provide calibration prints and ICC profiles for color management. Our catalog includes hard-to-find print sizes in matte, gloss and lustre.
Print what you want on the backs of prints. Use our proofing feature to delay shipping so you can retouch and replace the images ordered.
Set your prices and make 85% of the markup. You can even sell digital downloads in three sizes with personal or commercial use licenses. SmugMug will take the order, pay the credit card processing fee, ship prints to your customer, provide customer support and real-time reporting of sales.
Set prices by the image, by the gallery, or across your portfolio. Setting the price to zero removes it from your catalog.
We pay profits monthly when they exceed $500, and roll them into the next month's payment if they don't. We pay quarterly for profits of $200 — or upon request for any amount.
We're obsessed with the viewing experience and know you are too. Don't want an order prints button? Eliminate it. No share button, no camera details, no comments? Delete them.
By default we serve the SmugMug gallery style, which minimizes clicks. We sense users' monitors and serve the right number of images to prevent scrolling.
But you can force a gallery style — such as journal, traditional, or slideshow.
Add a guest password to empower uploading and arranging, but not deleting. Add video clips (example). Crop. Rotate. Use color effects. Add HTML to captions. Receive and delete comments. Enable/disable external links to photos.
SmugMug saves every photo in three separate datacenters in three states. We experience very little downtime.
