Sharing your photos is a great idea - we make it easy for you, and with our basic service you don't have to pay to do it...

To use Fotopic as your photo gallery on the web you'll need to register as a Fotopic user. The process is fast, simple and requires very little information and you can be up and running in less than 5 minutes. Once you're set you get access to a whole load of great features including:

• Your Own Photograph Galleries Sharing On The Internet

  You can have 2 separate galleries each with an unlimited number of "collections". Each gallery can be individually named, and have its own style from our selection of "skins".

• Easy publication and indexing of photographs

  No matter what type of computer you have you can send your photos to us - use your web browser, our easy-to-use Java system, FTP, or email. Then use the friendly publishing system to create a new collection or add them to an existing one. Thumbnails are automatically created, and your photos are available within minutes.

• 250MB of Photo Storage

  That's enough for around 1,000 photos taken with a mid-range consumer digital camera. If you require more storage but don't want the extra features associated with Premium you can simply purchase quota extensions to your account. These are charged in blocks of quota, and can be purchased for one-off cost in capacities from 250MB upwards.

• Flexible Gallery Design

  A variety of gallery styles and colour schemes are available, use your own backgrounds and wallpaper, and set your own graphical logos.

• An Entire Toolkit of Features

  Fotopic takes away the effort of having to make your own thumbnails, get your web pages right and link them all together. It's all done for you, and we handle all the hard work, leaving you to upload, caption and publish!

• Annotate Images With Captions, Dates, Web Address, And More

  Annotate your photos with your web address, captions, photo descriptions, date, time, and lots more - Fotopic does it automatically for you. No more casual image theft or uncredited appearances!

• Order Quality Prints and Gifts

  For that photo which just leaps out at you as the image you'll always treasure, or a number of them, why not get a high-quality version you can hold in your hand or frame on the wall - or as a great mouse-mat or mug?

• Get A Unique Web Address For Your Galleries

  For instance, bobsgallery.fotopic.net, or use your own domain name if you have one. The process takes seconds and gives your galleries a distinctly personalised and memorable touch.

• Weekly Visitor Reports

  Apart from automatically generating a list of how often each photo has been viewed and giving you the option to have a 'Top Photo' for each gallery you can see who's been looking and where they came from.

• Password Photos and Collections

  You choose who you want to see your photos, restrict access, and make sure only authorised users can find you.

• No Intrusive Animated Adverts or Popups

  We use discreet adverts linked into the content of your free gallery, supplied by Google Adsense. We do not overly brand galleries.

You can upgrade your account at any time to our Fotopic Plus or Fotopic Premium services which have a variety of extras!
