Getting photos in
Web drag-drop, live FTP from your camera, or the desktop sync app.
SnapFlow gives you three ways to get photos into an album. Use whichever fits your shoot — they all land in the same place and are processed the same way (thumbnails, EXIF, auto-rotation, and recognition).
Drag-and-drop on the web Web
The quickest way for a handful of photos: open the album and drop files onto the upload zone, or click browse.

SnapFlow accepts JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, RW2, ORF), up to 200 MB per file.
Straight from your camera over FTP Web setup
This is the SnapFlow superpower: many modern cameras can upload over FTP as you shoot, so photos appear in your gallery live during the event.
Each album has its own FTP username and password (created automatically — find them under the album's settings). Point your camera's FTP settings at SnapFlow using those credentials, and every frame you take flows straight into that album. Enable FTP camera upload in the album's Workflows settings.
Note
Because credentials are per-album, one event's login can never reach another event's photos.
The desktop sync app Desktop app
For studio work — pulling RAWs into Lightroom or Capture One, culling fast, and pushing finished selects back — install the SnapFlow Sync desktop app. Find the download on your Profile page in the web app.

The desktop app gives you:
- Local-first browsing — your photos on disk are the source of truth, with a fast preview pipeline and a 1:1 loupe.
- Culling tools — rate, reject, multi-select, compare two shots side by side.
- Two-way sync — pull RAWs down to edit, push finished JPEGs back up.
The app works alongside Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, or any editor, and runs in the background with auto-sync.
Which should I use?
Shooting live? Use FTP so guests see photos during the event. Editing a big set afterwards? Use the desktop app. Just need a few photos up quickly? Drag-and-drop on the web.
