Before You Begin

When you start your free 14-day trial, you’ve got access to every single feature SmugMug has to offer. You may see some features that won’t be available later when you sign up for a full account, because not all features are available at all plan levels.

You can always find your most important features at the top of your page when you’re logged in:Upload, Create, Organize, and Customize.
 

How do I upload?

You can upload as many or as few photos as you like to get started, but a handful will give you a good idea of how your site design works with your photos. And you can upload several images at once!


What can I upload?

You can upload an unlimited number of JPEG, GIF, and PNG files up 50 megabytes and 100 megapixels in size and videos up to 20 minutes long and 3 GB in size.

Is there a way to organize my photos and videos?

Yes! Your photos live in galleries you create, and you can organize your galleries into folders, just like you might do on your hard drive. Each folder can contain up to 5,000 galleries!

Additionally, you can create a folder inside another folder, so that everything you shoot is neat, organized, and can be sorted in whatever ways works best for you.

Are there any privacy options?

Everyone (Public): If a gallery or folder is displayed somewhere on your site, anyone can view it. If you want search engines like Google to find your photos, use this setting.

Anyone with the Link (Unlisted): Only people who have a direct link can see the gallery or folder.

Only Me (Private): This gallery or folder is visible ONLY to you, the logged-in owner. No matter what.


How do I set the privacy for my site, gallery, folder, or page?

You can set privacy when first creating a gallery, folder, or page, and you can change that setting any time through the Organizer, or through gallery/folder/page settings. Check out this in-depth article for the full how-to.


What security features are available?

You get tons of photo-protection features built in to your SmugMug galleries, and we recommend you use them all to keep your photos safe from right-clicking, screen grabbing, and more. Read more about these features.

How can people find my site?
