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!

Here's how:

  1. Go to your SmugMug homepage and log in.
  2. Click the Control Panel button. Go to the Settings tab.
  3. Click the change link by the word "passwords". 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 a photo to yournickname@email.smugmug.com. Example: beanland@email.smugmug.com .

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

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

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