What’s New

  • Launched the SmugMug Development Lab! Find education, inspiration, and the latest news from SmugMug in our new hub. 
  • Improved security for your account with multi-factor authentication (a.k.a. MFA). MFA is like a digital lockbox designed to keep your private information safe. Learn more about MFA and how to enable it on your SmugMug account by visiting our help page.
  • Separate your business finances from your personal finances with our partner, Found. Streamline your banking, bookkeeping, and tax tracking. Don’t forget that SmugMug customers also receive a $50 bonus.

What’s Changed

  • Improved buyers’ experience. We’ve updated the shopping cart to include upselling your digital print, improved the digital download experience, and updated performance so your buyers can check out even faster than before.
  • Big SEO improvements! We put in a lot of investment into helping your SmugMug site be discovered by search engine bots. Website page titles will now reflect the title of the image when viewing a specific image. If an image doesn’t have a title we will use a caption if available, and then the filename if visibility is enabled. All of this information will now be exposed to search engines making your site more discoverable.
  • The Pricelist and Sales tabs in our mobile apps have received some attention to improve your overall experience in the apps. And, useful tools such as creating QR codes can be more easily found within the app.
  • New premium paper available for all glossy prints provided by WHCC: Fujicolor Crystal Archive Pearl. This is an upgraded paper quality to what was being used before and your customers will love the sharp finish with a pearlescent, reflective sheen.
  • Windows Desktop uploader v2023.10.30.0 released that supports MFA.

Bug Fixes

  • Addressed some minor bugs in our Adobe Lightroom Classic plugin.
  • Fixed a bug to allow an ‘access order’ link to be accessible for a longer period of time.
  • Squashed a lot of small bugs to improve your overall experience with pricing your photos and with your customers trying to purchase your photos.
