The ZebraSnap apps: mobile, desktop and Lightroom
What you can do in the iPhone and Android app, the Mac and Windows desktop app and the Lightroom plugin, and where to download each one.
In short
Everything works on the website, and three apps make specific jobs easier:
| App | Best for | Get it |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile app (iPhone, Android) | Following sales and messages on the go, quick edits, uploading from your phone | App Store / Google Play |
| Desktop app (Mac, Windows) | Uploading whole events reliably, watched folders, managing albums from your computer | Downloads |
| Lightroom plugin | Publishing straight from your Lightroom Classic catalog | Downloads |
All of them are free on every plan and use the same ZebraSnap account. The Downloads page has every link in one place.
Mobile app
The ZebraSnap app is made for photographers. With it you can:
- Get a notification the moment you sell, and see your orders and analytics.
- Create albums, change the price, discounts and cover, and publish.
- Upload photos and videos from your phone's library. iPhone photos are converted to JPEG automatically, so HEIC is not a problem here.
- Read and answer messages from buyers.
- Manage payouts, your subscription, your team and your profile.
A few things are web-only for now: creating private albums and editing the watermark of a single album.
Athletes and buyers don't need the app: searching and buying happen on the website, from any phone browser.
Desktop app
The desktop app for Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10 or later is a full photographer app, with uploads built for big events:
- Drag in a whole event, or choose a folder, and it uploads in the background. Uploads keep going if you close the window, resume after a lost connection or a restart, and retry failed files automatically.
- Watched folders: link your Lightroom or Capture One export folder to an album and every new photo exported there is uploaded by itself.
- It warns you before replacing photos that have the same file name as ones already in the album.
- Create and publish albums, set prices and discounts, organize sections, and see sales, analytics and messages.
Sign-in and details: Upload with the desktop app.
Lightroom plugin
If you edit in Lightroom Classic, the plugin adds ZebraSnap as a Publish Service: pick an album, drag photos in, and click Publish. Edited photos can be re-published to replace the old version. Setup: Publish from Lightroom Classic.
