You can upload images to SmugMug through UltraCamp by logging in directly at SmugMug.com, or via the SmugMug app (available for Android or iOS). You can also set up a special Assistant Password for your staff to access your SmugMug account or share a link that lets guests upload their content directly.
Accepted file types
JPEG is the preferred format. Your SmugMug account offers unlimited storage for JPEG, GIF, PNG files, and videos under 3 GB and 20 minutes. For optimal results, we recommend uploading JPEGs, as only JPEG files can be purchased or used for print orders.
Full details are available in this article.
Upload Images In SmugMug
There are several ways to upload photos and videos to your SmugMug account: from your desktop or mobile device, through the SmugMug app, or from other services such as Amazon Photos, Flickr, and Google. For detailed instructions, please refer to SmugMug's help article: Upload photos and videos.
Upload Images and Videos in UltraCamp
Images are not directly uploaded through UltraCamp, however a link is available that will connect you to your SmugMug account. Guests and Assistants can upload directly through SmugMug.
- Go to the Mega Menu.
- Click on Tools.
- Under Photo Gallery, click on Add / Edit Folders.
- For each folder, click Add Images. A new tab will open for you to log in to SmugMug.
- In SmugMug, select the gallery to upload to.
- Follow the prompts and upload.
Assistant Password
An assistant password lets account holders give other staff members limited access to their SmugMug account.
Go to your Site Settings and select the Privacy option on the left. In the Assistant Password field, enter a password and click Save (top right).
Note: Once you've set an assistant password, it can be changed but not removed.
Assistant Permissions:
Assistants can log in using the account email (or username) and the assistant password, giving them access to most features the account owner can use, with some limitations:
-
- Assistants cannot access or download galleries, folders, or pages marked as Private (Only Me).
- They cannot delete or replace photos or galleries.
- They only have access to the Stats and Contacts tabs in your Account Settings; everything else is hidden.
- Assistants cannot customize your site.
- They cannot use the account's credit card to purchase prints.
- Assistants can view your pro pricing in the shopping cart, but they cannot purchase prints "at cost."
- They cannot use the Hide feature to hide photos or videos in a gallery.
- Assistants cannot view photos or videos hidden using the Hide feature.
- Assistants cannot use Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) to log in.
- They cannot receive notifications within the iOS and Android apps.
You can share the assistant password with as many people as needed—perfect for your busy camp!

Guest Uploading
SmugMug's guest upload feature allows individuals to add photos to a specific gallery without logging in or having access to your SmugMug account.
Any gallery can have this feature. Once photos are uploaded, you can easily move them between galleries in the Organizer.
Visit Organize > select Gallery > Settings > Security/Sharing tab > add text to the Guest Uploading field > copy the URL provided.
Visit SmugMug Help: Allow guests to upload photos for more details.
Parent Photo Access
Parent access is fully managed through UltraCamp. Using their UltraCamp login, parents can go to Settings > Photo Gallery, select the Season, then choose either Individual or All, and click on the Folder to navigate to SmugMug.
No password is required since this process is integrated with their UltraCamp account.
Once on SmugMug, parents can view, download or purchase prints and/or downloads, depending on the gallery settings and your pricelist settings.
Sharing the gallery URL won't grant access to others. If a parent wishes to share the gallery, they must return to their UltraCamp account to create new access for the friend or family member, who will need their own UltraCamp account.
