Overview

Your Home on the Internet

Real Estate. There is nothing else like it. With your account, you get a destination web site for your album collection. Your Phanfare website will be at http://yourname.phanfare.com. Your friends and family can visit your website and view your photos and videos whenever they like.

You can set a password to protect your entire website, protecting all of your published albums. While you are still working on an album, you can keep it entirely private.

Phanfare's websites include fullscreen slideshows with your own music (try it now) and optionally provide links to download fullsize original images and archival versions of your video.

Look at the style of Phanfare's albums. You can see that we designed the navigation interface to support a lifetime of photos and videos.



Let's Do It Your Way

No matter what your workflow, we have you covered. Phanfare has plugins for Apple Aperture, Apple iPhoto, Google's Picasa and Adobe Lightroom. You can continue to use these tools to acquire and edit your images. Then, export your finished photos directly to your Phanfare account.

Phanfare also offers web-based management and downloadable desktop organizers for Mac and PC that speed uploading and give you an immersive view into your photos and videos from any desktop. Our organizers are auto-synchronizing and work offline without a network connection.

Have an iPhone? Great. Phanfare Photon will sync your photos and videos directly to your iPhone or iPod touch right over the air. You can even edit your photos from your iPhone and your changes are sync'ed back to Phanfare.

Download the Phanfare screen saver and you can turn any computer into a connected digital picture frame.

Own an Eye-Fi™ wireless SD memory card? Phanfare supports that. Eye-Fi and Phanfare are integrated so that photos and videos that you take using your Eye-Fi card float wirelessly into your Phanfare account.






No Man is an Island

Phanfare plays well with others. You can transfer images and videos directly to Facebook on demand. Facebook will only accept the downsampled files, but the images and videos transferred over become fully part of the Facebook system. Your friends and family can comment and face tag directly.

Flickr has a vibrant community of photo enthusiasts that like to comment on each other's work. You can manage your collection at Phanfare and still be part of that scene with our Flickr integration. You can simply choose which photos you want to transfer to Flickr and off they go.

Want to push a constant stream of photos to your living room? Wireless digital picture frames that support Phanfare will automatically update with your latest Phanfare albums.

Let Us Do the Worrying for You

album

Your photos and videos are irreplaceable. And yet too many people have only a single copy of these treasured memories on their home computer's hard drive. At Phanfare we store your photos and videos using Amazon S3, a redundant geographically distributed storage system based on the same technology that runs Amazon.com.

Archiving digital photos is hard if you want to do it right. Formats change. When Phanfare started back in 2004, Flash 7 was the dominant video format on the web. Now H.264 is the standard for high quality video. Screen resolutions are always increasing. Phanfare can change with the times, carrying your media forward for the future generations.

As an archival service, Phanfare keeps a version history of all edits to photos. You can always rollback to the bits that you uploaded to the service if you make a mistake.

Books and Cards That Will Make Grandma Cry

album

Phanfare offers gorgeous custom hardcover photo books with wrapped photo covers. Books are printed on 100 weight glossy stock and the bindings are side sewn for extra strength and durability. Our photo book software is efficient enough to create a book in 2 minutes, but flexible enough to provide you full creative control over the final output.

No matter what the occasion, Phanfare has custom photo cards to fit. Phanfare offers holiday cards, party invitations, birth announcements and thank you cards, all customizable with your photos. You won't see Phanfare designs elsewhere on the web. They are custom designed for Phanfare.

Keeping in Touch

email

Phanfare includes a full contact manager and email-invitation tools. You can import your address book from Outlook, Yahoo Mail, MSN Hotmail, and Gmail.

In a few clicks you can send an invite to your friends and family telling them about your new pictures. Invitations include links to your website and any passwords needed for access.

You can also send special invitations to particular albums that contain no links to your website, ideal for sharing a subset of your photos with co-workers without making them aware of or giving them access to your full website.
