Upload photos to an album
Open the upload dialog
Click Add photo in the top-right area of the album view. If you have reached your plan’s photo limit for this project, Shootbin will show an upgrade prompt instead.
Select or drop files
Drag files into the upload area or click to browse. Shootbin accepts standard image formats as well as TIFF files (
.tif, .tiff).To be able to offer you the complete flow, from shoot until delivery, it’s important that you upload your photos exactly as you wish to deliver them to your client.So upload them in the biggest size and quality that you would want to send your client.
The original filename of each uploaded file is stored automatically in the
original_filename field and returned by the API. This lets you match delivered or revised files back to the originals you shot.Photo states

Watermarking
We chose (for now) not to include the option to add watermarks on your originals or your deliveries. This is intentional as we feel you should have full control on the way you handle watermarked images if you decided so. If you have configured a proofing watermark on your account (on by default), Shootbin renders the watermark text over the web variant of each photo displayed to clients. The original uploaded file is never modified. Watermarking is applied during web variant generation, so it is automatically present on all proofing images without any per-album configuration. Feel free to disable this option in your account settings if you already use watermarking in your originals/deliverables, so that no double watermarks appear on the proofing images To set or update your watermark text, go to your profile settings and update the Proofing watermark text field.Reorder photos
In an album where you are the owner, you can drag and drop photo thumbnails to change their display order. The new order is saved immediately in the background.Plan limits
