Getting started

Sign in and get oriented with the dashboard.

Welcome to SnapFlow — the fastest way to get event photos from your camera to your clients. This guide walks you through the whole workflow: create an event, get photos in straight from your camera, cull and rate, let SnapFlow recognise the people in your shots, and share a polished gallery — often before the event is even over.

This first chapter gets you signed in and oriented.

Two ways to work

SnapFlow has a web app and a desktop sync app. Throughout this manual, steps are tagged Web or Desktop app so you know where each one happens.

Sign in

Open snap-flow.org and click Log in.

The SnapFlow login screen

If you don't have an account yet, click Sign up and choose a plan. The Free plan lets you try the core workflow (3 albums, 5 GB); Pro and Studio unlock unlimited albums, more storage, AI recognition, the desktop sync app, and Instagram automation.

Tip

You can start on Free and upgrade any time — your albums and photos carry over.

The dashboard

After you log in you land on My Albums — your home base. Every event you shoot lives here as an album.

The SnapFlow dashboard

A quick tour:

  • Top navigation — switch between Albums, People (your recognised athletes and teams across all events), Clients, and Socials (Instagram).
  • Storage meter (top right) shows how much of your plan's storage you've used.
  • New Album (top right) starts a new event — that's the next chapter.
  • Search finds albums and people fast once you have a few events.

Each album card shows the event name, a cover image, the photo count, and a Public / Private badge so you can see its sharing status at a glance.
