What we created is the standard by which all others are measured today.
Let us take care of all the hard stuff so you can focus on your photos. We give you free software to manage your photos, events and orders. All you have to do is click to publish. Almost immediately your photos are available to your customers. When an order is placed, it comes instantly to your computer and ready for you to review and edit. Simply click the "Send and Print" button and we take care of the rest. Your customers receive their purchases from our professional lab and we send you a check with your profits. All you have to do is publish, review, and make money. It's really that simple.
We also make it simple for your customers. Your site is always open, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A recent survey found 89% of consumers prefer online shopping. Our site is designed to be simple and easy to use. Your customers simply choose the event or sitting, select the photos, add one of your packages, prints or downloads to the cart, and checkout. A website if not done correctly, can actually make you lose customers. Our safe, secure and simple storefronts are used by millions of happy customers. A happy customer means a happy photographer.
If you can't get your photos in front of your customers, then you can't sell them. That's why we have the fastest and easiest photo uploading in the industry. Our free award winning software is a speed demon. While it is publishing, it takes your photos, applies any corrections, resizes them, and only sends a 'preview size' file to the website. Your original files stay on your local computer, safe and unaltered. What that means to you is thousands of photos uploaded in a few minutes, not hours (or days). Fast, easy and unlimited uploads means more sales, happy customers and no stress for you.
Just because we make it simple doesn't mean that PhotoReflect is limited. Actually quite the opposite. We provide complete control over all of the features, pricing, packages, discounts, security, minimum orders, gift certificates, event expiration, marketing and more. But don't let that scare you. You can start selling your first photo within minutes of signing up.

Your photos are your livelihood. That is why we take securing your photos seriously. First, we only upload a preview and thumbnail to PhotoReflect, so your full resolution photos are never at risk. We also are continually updating our techniques to keep even the previews of your photos from being used without your consent.
Our site gives you even more security options:
Use our integrated social sharing features to let your customers spread the word about your work to their friends and family. We only share the small thumb on the social sites. These thumbnail photos link back to your PhotoReflect storefront order page. So your clients actually drive business to your site.
Since presenting and proofing your photos is how you make money, you need to make sure your photos are available to your customers as soon as possible. Traditional proofs and other sites take too long. Customers expect everything to be instantly available. So the longer they wait the more frustrated they get. Also, the interest level and excitement of the photo event fades quickly after the event is over.
PhotoReflect allows you total control over what you want to offer for sale to your customers. You can choose from our huge selection of prints, products, greetings, gifts, frames, home decor and digital items. You can even offer your own self-fulfil items or products from other labs. Offer as much or as little as you like. PhotoReflect does not enforce any restrictions on your business.
