Review:
Snapped4U is a marketplace where portrait and event photographers can create photo libraries of events and portrait shots that allow the subjects of those photos to buy jpeg files one at a time or in bulk.
The site charges photographers a $10 fee to set up an account. When photos sell, Snapped4U takes a commission of 10% for domestic sales and 12% for international sales. However, there is a minimum 50 cent commission on small domestic sales and a minimum 60 cent commission on small international sales. The site also charges a 50 cent fee on each order. (There can be multiple sales in any given order.)
Photographers set their own rates and notify the subjects of their photos where they can view and purchase photos in the gallery. Snapped4U charges customers; emails the JPEG files; and pays photographers once monthly, after their account balances reach or exceed $50.
Snapped4U is not designed for those who take landscape, travel, structure and stock photographs. It is solely set up for portraits and events. However, the site terms set photographers up to save time and make good money.
Other sites to consider
If you take landscape and stock photos, also consider Adobe Stock and Shutterstock.

I love using Snapped4u.com for my photography side business! It was scary at first just the decision to reach out and try it but I’m so glad I did. They have made it easier my customers as well as myself and if there does happen to be any snags they are quick to fix it and always professional.
I’ve used Snapped4u for several years as a fundraising site for my son’s theater troupe and it was easy to set up and apparently easy for folks to use and download from. The fee is minimal which makes it great for a fundraising site and I actually got personal customer service from living humans – how often does that happen with a website? I’ve had good luck with them and raised a fair amount of money for a good cause. Seem like good folks.
I have used Snapped4U for a few years, sold thousands of images, and find them to be responsive and helpful to communications from both me and my clients, solving issues and quickly answering questions. Their website is easy to access and easy to use with a fail-safe checkout process that has yielded high sales and minimal questions. Access can be from desktop or phone for immediate gratification and purchase. The site conveniently lets my clients know a bit more about me with the Bio-section and they couldn’t make transferring photos easier. Partner with the crew of Snapped4U and give yourself a real edge. Highly recommended.
Having used Snapped for years, the experience has been very good. Not only have I made sales, I have also received leads for events that have created income. I plan on using the site for as long as possible. Thank you, Snapped4u!
