From Hull photo studio to software studio
Fifteen years running a photography studio with a constant mess of links and logins. Now all neatly in one app.

Even for that client.
Existing software was clunky and clients needed help using it.
I needed an efficient way to organise my studio workflow and share content in one place.
CreateFu has all the features a visual creative needs, but is so simple your clients will just get it.

FAQ
What size photo and video can I upload?
Photos up to 50MB.
Video up to 30GB using any codec and resolution we can decode - try us! Note: H264/H265 will be ready to play sooner than other formats.
Will you compress my photos and videos?
Your original files are always left untouched, so your clients can download exactly what you uploaded.
We also create smaller copies of your content so your clients can browse from a mobile connection.
Do my clients need an account to see photos and videos?
Yes. It's completely free for them and they only need a single account to receive content from multiple creatives - so they may already have one.
When you share content with a new client, they will receive an email with a link. Once they've entered their name and password they can view the content you sent them.
The next time you share with them, they will just receive a notification and can login to view the content.
How many clients and sessions can I have?
All plans include unlimited clients and sessions.
How many files can I store?
This depends on how large your files are. To give you an estimate, if your JPG files are around 7MB, you could store:
Starter (50GB): 7,000 photos
Solo (500GB): 70,000 photos
Studio (2TB): 285,000 photos + extra storage available at 1p/GB per month
Using 1080p video, you could store approximately:
Starter (50GB): 8 hours of video
Solo (500GB): 80 hours of video
Studio (2TB): 330 hours of video + extra storage available at 1p/GB per month
Can my clients reshare photos and videos?
Yes. Once you've shared a session your client can reshare it with others, and save the files to their devices.
If you're sharing with a company, your contact can set up a group and invite other employees to view your content. This saves you maintaining a list of who can access each session.
Can I add a colleague to my account?
The Studio plan allows multiple users.
If you have someone who deals with your scheduling, editing, or sharing, you can simply invite them to your account and let them work on your behalf.
What does the free trial include?
Everything from the Studio plan is included, however storage is limited to 2TB. If you need more you will have to start a plan.
You'll get a great idea of whether CreateFu is for you during this time.
What happens when the free trial runs out?
Your creator account will be paused. Your sessions, clients, and files will remain stored for a short period, but you will not be able to access them, nor will anybody you've shared with.
Once you've signed up to a plan, your account will be back to normal.
How do I share photos and videos?
Press share, then enter the person's email address. Done.
Doesn't matter if you are the creator of the content or the client receiving it, sharing is always this straight forward.
Can I revoke access to photos and videos?
Yes. You can remove a share at any point and the recipient will lose access immediately, as will anyone they have shared the content with.
Note: This only applies to the CreateFu website/apps. If the person has downloaded the content to their device they will still have access.
What happens if I run out of storage space?
If you reach the storage limit of the Starter or Solo plans, you will need to upgrade to a higher plan.
If you are on the Studio plan, 2TB of storage is included. If you exceed this you will be charged £10/TB per month, to cover storage costs. This way we can offer unlimited storage and mean it.
Which devices does CreateFu run on?
All modern iPhones, iPads, and Android devices are supported.
The CreateFu website will run on any modern browser, should you or your clients prefer not to use the app.
Why use the app instead of the website?
The iOS/Android apps allow you to download entire sessions straight to your camera roll.
The apps are also faster loading and more responsive, especially when on poor mobile signal.
Do I have to pay extra for the apps?
No. The iOS/Android apps are both free to download and use.
