Webshots: Share Photos Online!

Webshots' site was fairly easy to navigate, although novice Internet users may find it a bit cumbersome at first. Once we had our Webshots account and began to upload photos, we were able to send invitations to our friends to view entire albums or just single photos, whichever we preferred.

We were also able to embed our albums and photos onto websites with ease. Although we decided not to, we did have the option of making our album public so other Webshots members could view our photos.

In addition to managing our own photos, our membership allowed us to view and download the Pro photos available on the Webshots website. Although you can't use Pro Shots downloads commercially, you can use them as screen savers or desktop wallpaper or order custom gifts such as t-shirts and mugs with Pro Shots on them.
  • Watch videos on the Webshots website!
  • Upload photos from your phone to your Webshots photo album.

We enjoyed using Webshots, but there is a limit to personalization and use of its photo sharing service features. It appeared as a site more attuned to social networking than photo sharing. At a cost of $29.88, we found this site relatively affordable for the features provided.

For the few questions we did have, we were not able to contact customer support unless we were a paying customer. Very unsatisfactory! 6StarReviews awards Webshots 5.0 Stars.
