Adding Photos: Via email & phones
camera phone

If you send email to SmugMug with photos attached, we'll place them in a gallery for you.

Tip: You can use this feature to add photos from your regular email as well. No phones required! (Though if you have an iPhone, the deal gets even sweeter.)


Here's how:

  1. Log in and click the Tools button near the top of your SmugMug pages.
  2. Choose Go to Control Panel. Click the Settings tab.
  3. Click the change link by the words "Email upload password".

    upload via email

    The following screen will come up:

    upload via email
  4. Choose a password that is different from your SmugMug account login password.

    Tip: Cell phone users can save time by choosing a password that's easy to type on a numeric keypad. Example: numbers or the first letter on each key, capitalizing the first one.

  5. Compose an email containing one or more photos or attach the photos to the email and send to yournickname@email.smugmug.com. Example: beanland@email.smugmug.com.

    Type your photo email password into the subject line. Type the photo's caption into the body of the email (optional).

    upload via email
  6. Send. SmugMug will automatically create a gallery named "email" and place your photos in it.

Tip: If you're losing the caption, try sending in plain text format.
