Hey everyone!

I use Zenfolio for my online storage and love it but am wondering if there is a free site that will not resize the photos when you upload them? Zenfolio gives the option of downloading original and I like that. Do the others do that too? Snapfish, Shutterfly, etc? I dont think Photobucket does, but havent looked into it. Any suggestions? I have a friend in Europe that wants to store her photos online for safety.

Thanks for your input!

Smugmug doesn't resize the photos and give you control over what you want to allow others to do with your photos.

Hi Andy! Haven't seen you on the boards for a while! Weren't you in WDW in Jan/Feb? Where are your photos?

To answer your question, I use Shutterfly, and it doesn't resize your photos. I've been very happy with them. And when you go to order prints, a little box will pop up to tell you that based on whatever the pixel-size of your photo, you can order up to a 10 x 20 or whatever size without losing any quality. Maybe other photo sites do that, too, but I'm too stressed to deal with all the math involved to figure out the max. print size on my own! (i.e., I'm lazy) ;)

Hey Amy! Thanks for the Shutterfly recommendation. I will pass along that info.

Yes, I was in WDW for a couple days back at the beginning of Jan. Yes, I have not gone through all my pics from that trip either! :lmao: I will post some if I EVER get the chance to. I do know that NONE of them stood out to me as any kind of WOW pics. I didnt concentrate all that much on photography, just relaxing and fun this time!
