SmugMug Review: Unlimited Secure Image Storage and Easy Sharing [2025]
I have trusted SmugMug for over 10 years for cloud image backups, galleries for clients and secure sharing with family. The reliability of service has been impeccable. I cannot recall an outage. This is another service that just works. As it utilizes Amazon AWS, performance is also excellent. I have zero reservations about recommending SmugMug for professional and personal use. Flickr and TWIP (This Week In Photo) also fly under the banner of SmugMug. Take advantage of the

QUALITY PRINT PARTNERS
SmugMug offers a number of print fulfillment partners in Canada, USA and Europe. For Canadian Customers, you can select Bay Photo, WHCC and Fujifilm Labs USA-all located in the USA. they provide excellent prints and ship to Canada. In the past I have used WHCC and the service was quick. As a new option for 2025, they have added a Fujifilm Labs Canadian location which is easier local fulfillment. For sporting events I moved to digital download sales within the site. The process was clean and well documented for each sale.
SMUGMUG HERO SUPPORT
Fast live 24/7 Hero Support is a standout feature. When I needed assistance in the past and the support was fast and thorough. As a company, they pride themselves on the hero support.
MORE THAN JUST BUSINESS
As I moved out of weddings and events, I found myself keeping the service for personal reasons. It has become a fantastic archival of my imagery, nicely organized and sorted. For friends and family, I have shared secure galleries with the option to download the full resolution images. This is a much nicer format than collecting emails and instant messages with random images to amalgamate. I would highly recommend a service such as SmugMug for all your offsite image and video archives.
