01 · Uploads
Upload your way.
Five ways to load your photos into ZebraSnap. The same AI processing behind every one of them.
- Web
- — The most common option. Open the browser, drag in your files, and start uploading.
- Desktop app
- — Dedicated app for macOS and Windows. Always in the dock when you need to upload fast without opening the browser.
- SFTP
- — Connect with your usual FTP client (Filezilla, Cyberduck). The fastest, most direct route.
- iPhone + Android
- — Upload photos straight from your phone while you're still at the event.
- Lightroom Classic
- — Official plugin. Publish albums straight from Lightroom — no need to export first.
Bonus
Every route accepts individual photos or a single .zip with all of them at once.
02 · AI that tags for you
Forget searchingby hand.
Every photo is analyzed the moment you publish your album. The AI detects faces and bib numbers so athletes find themselves with a selfie or their number — without you ever scrolling through thousands of photos.
- Face recognition
- Athletes upload a selfie and find themselves in every photo they appear in — even when the bib isn't visible.
- Bib number reading
- We read the numbers even when they're sweaty, folded, blurred or at an angle. The ones the human eye can't catch, the AI can.
03 · Mobile app
Your business,in your pocket.
Get notified the moment a sale lands. Check revenue, order history and stats, tweak your album settings and — soon — reply to buyers, all while the next event is still running.
04 · Analytics & payouts
Know your business.Get paid on autopilot.
Sales by event, conversion funnel, album leaderboard, referrers and a buyer map — a real dashboard that refreshes itself. And every week, payouts land in your bank without invoicing or chasing.
05 · Your brand
Every photo carries your signature.
Design your watermark exactly how you want it — text or logo, color, position, opacity, rotation. When someone buys, they get the full file at maximum resolution, no watermark. Your quality, your credit.
And to grow your brand with every sale:
- Public profile with your brand
- A page with your name, cover, bio, social links, and every event you cover. Your athletes — and others — find you there.
- Your credit on every purchase
- Buyers see who took each photo and can come back to find you for their next race.
- Custom domain (coming soon)
- Your gallery on your own URL. carla.com instead of zebrasnap.com/...

Testimonials
Don't take our word for it.
Three sports photographers, in their own words, on what changed once they started using ZebraSnap.
…I've been using it for several months now, and what's helped me most is that athletes find themselves on their own. They used to message me on Monday asking for the link again — that doesn't happen anymore.
Memo TreviñoRaces and triathlon · Monterrey, MexicoI upload straight from Lightroom and that's it — no opening a browser, no moving files. It's not the flashiest tool, but it does exactly what I need for less than I was paying before.
Jenna WhitakerTrail running and cycling · Boulder, COWhat really sold me was the payment side. I used to end up sharing details over WhatsApp and nobody felt comfortable. Now people pay by card and it lands straight in my account — that alone changes everything.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we get most often.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, get in touch.
- How much does it cost to get started?
- Nothing. Publishing is free, every app and plugin is free, and you only pay commission when a photo sells. No setup fee, no subscription.
- How quickly do I get paid?
- Weekly payouts: every Monday we deposit whatever accumulated during the week. No invoicing, no waiting until end-of-month.
- Who owns the photos?
- You do. Your photos are always yours. When someone buys, they download the full-resolution file for personal use — the image is still yours and you can keep using, displaying, or selling it wherever you want.
- What resolution do buyers download?
- Full resolution, exactly as you uploaded it — no ZebraSnap watermark. Public previews do carry a watermark and are downscaled.
- Can I set my own prices?
- Yes. You set a price per album (not per individual photo) and you can launch coupons or volume discounts for each event from the dashboard.
- Is there a photo limit?
- No limit by photo count — the cap is by storage. The free plan includes 25 GB and paid plans go up to 2 TB. How many photos fit depends on your file sizes.
- How does facial recognition work?
- Athletes upload a selfie and we compare it against every photo in the event. You don't tag anything by hand — recognition runs automatically as soon as you upload.
- What if no one buys my photos?
- Then you don't pay anything. We only charge commission per sale. Publishing, storage, and the apps stay free whether you sell or not.
- Can multiple photographers cover the same event?
- Yes. Each photographer uploads to the same event; buyers see all the covers and pick the ones they like. Each photographer keeps their own earnings.

Create an account, pick one event, upload the shots. If we don't match athletes to photos, you don't pay a thing.
