Creating a photo CD
Question
How do I create a photo CD?
Answer

Overview
A Photo CD can contain up to 500 high-resolution digital photos from your own albums and from shared albums (if you have permission). You can assemble multiple CDs one at a time, and order them all at once. Or, just order a single CD for yourself.

Each Photo CD comes with Windows-compatible viewing and photo-editing software. Macintosh users can view the .jpeg photo files using a Web browser or their own photo-viewing software.

Selecting Photos for Your CD

Tip: During the CD ordering process, you can choose albums, but not individual photos. To handpick the pictures for your Photo CD, organize your photos before starting to make the CD. Just copy or move the photos you want into new or existing albums.

  1. While viewing your photo library, an album, or an individual photo, click 'create' in the photo toolbar on the right side of the page. Then click 'photo cd.'
  2. On the 'make a photo CD' page you'll see your own albums and the shared albums you have permission to include. Click on the checkbox next to each album you want to add.
  3. You can continue to add albums as long as the total number of photos in all the albums you've added so far is less than 500. Your running total appears in the upper and lower right corners (if your browser supports dhtml).
  4. When you've selected all of the albums you'd like to include, click on the yellow 'add CD to cart' button to add this CD to your cart and continue. You will not be charged until you click on the 'buy now' button at the end of the checkout process.
Your Cart
Your cart holds your orders for prints, photo gifts and CDs. Any prints, photo gifts or CDs you add to your cart are saved there until you check out or remove these items from your cart.
  1. To title your CD, type a name for your CD in the field labeled CD name. Your title can be up to 40 characters long. If you don't change this field, your CD will be named "Snapfish Photo CD."
  2. Under the CD name field, you'll see the number of photos and albums on this CD. To add or remove albums, click 'edit CD'.
  3. To order an additional copy of this CD, click on the 'add a copy' link.
  4. To make another CD with a different set of albums, click on the 'make more CDs' link.

    Tip: You can order as many copies of your CDs as you'd like. Be sure to order all the copies you need at once. We're unable to save the set-up of a CD after you place your order.
  5. Any free photo credits that apply to your Photo CD will be subtracted in green above your CD subtotal. The order total at the bottom of the page includes shipping and handling. If you have a coupon, you'll be able to enter the code on the next page. Applicable sales tax will be added when you review and place your order.
  6. When all the Photo CDs you'd like to order are displayed in your cart, click the 'check out' button to continue.

Checking Out
When all of the CDs, prints, and photo gifts you'd like to purchase at this time are in your cart, click on the yellow 'check out' button at the bottom of the page.

  1. On the 'billing & shipping information' page, enter your credit card information, your billing address, and the address to which you'd like your order shipped. If we already have your address and billing info (from a previous order, for example), it will be displayed on this page.
  2. If your shipping address is filled in, and you'd like to change it, click on 'edit my address'. Enter your new address in the pop-up to update your account. To send your order elsewhere (e.g., to your office, to a friend) without changing the main shipping address for your account, select 'ship to a different address,' then enter your alternate mailing address.

    Tip: We'll ship your order to you, or to any address in the world. All items in one order must be shipped to a single address.
  3. If you have a coupon that applies to your order, type the coupon code in the box labeled 'coupon #'.
  4. When all of the information on this page is complete and accurate, click on the 'continue' button to review your order before placing it.
  5. On the 'review & place order' page you have a chance to check your order one last time before placing it. Check your billing and shipping information. If you need to change anything, click on 'edit billing & shipping info'.
  6. If you need to add additional CDs, or remove any from your order, click on 'edit photo CD order'.
  7. When the information on this page is complete and accurate, click on the 'buy now' button to place your order. We'll authorize your credit card and begin creating your photo CD.
  8. You'll see your receipt for this order. Please print or save this page for your records.
  9. Click the yellow 'back to photos' button to return to viewing your photos.
