Photobucket Unveils Snapbucket

Photobucket Unveils Snapbucket to Its 15 Million Mobile Users and the World

Leading Web and Mobile Photo Sharing Company Delivers Personalized Mobile App Experience & Adds Unlimited Storage For All Users

DENVER—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Photobucket Corporation, the world’s leading dedicated photo and video sharing service, today announced Snapbucket, the first of many upcoming additions to its award-winning mobile platform. Snapbucket, which complements Photobucket’s existing mobile app, enables users to “snap” photos from their mobile device, personalize those photos through unique filters, effects, vignettes and frames, and then easily share with their social community. Snapbucket also allows users to create and save their own distinct sets of filter combinations. Best of all, both the original and personalized photos are automatically stored online in the user’s Photobucket account.

“Our users have been asking for more creative ways to express themselves through visual media,” said Kate Hare, vice president of products at Photobucket. “Snapbucket gives our users what they’ve asked for – a simple, on-the-go application to capture, personalize and share their photos.”

The award-winning Photobucket Mobile App spans all major platforms and is growing at a staggering rate. Mobile uploads have increased more than 600% over the last year with users uploading more than 20 million photos and videos to Photobucket.com every month. In January of this year, Photobucket also added their patented video technology to Photobucket Mobile. In just a few months, video uploads have quickly increased to upwards of two million per month. To accommodate this increase in user uploads, Photobucket is also announcing free, unlimited photo storage for all users, plus expanded video storage (500 videos up to 10 minutes in length).

“We are seeing explosive growth in mobile, and at the same time we are adding a million new users a month on our website,” said Tom Munro, CEO of Photobucket. “With our integrated platform, Photobucket is uniquely positioned to bring together the simplicity and spontaneity of mobile with the creativity and permanence of the web. In the coming months, we will continue to expand our leadership in mobile with additional products, including the release of a new creative video app.”
