Questions (FAQ)

Between digital cameras and camera-equipped cell phones, there are hundreds of millions of new digital images created each year. If you are a typical digital photo-taker then you have thousands of digital photos on your computer. And let’s say you have a special occasion coming up and you are looking for good photos of a specific friend or family member… most people need to go through every folder and every photo in their collection. How inefficient is that! With Fotobounce, you can simply drag the person’s icon into the photo viewer and voila – all the photos you have of that person are immediately displayed in date order. Based on feedback from our users, that feature saves a ton of time!

People are also very concerned about the privacy and security of their valuable digital memories. Recent press about Facebook privacy policies have not helped to alleviate these concerns. With Fotobounce you can create a private photo sharing network. Think “Skype for photos”. People who join your network are your close friends and family, not hundreds of people that you have casually connected with on Facebook. Those close friends have access to the photos that you have specifically made available to them. When you transfer a photo between friends (which is very easy by the way) you get all of the people tags with the photo. This saves your time and everyone else in your network who grabs a copy of the photo.

With a utility like Fotobounce you can get on top of the photo management and sharing problem and stay on top!

Is Fotobounce a web-based application?

No, Fotobounce is a desktop application that currently runs on Windows 7, XP, Vista, and Apple OSX 10.5 or newer. This maintains your privacy and full control over your photos. We can also deliver a faster and richer experience by running on your local system. However, once you have Fotobounce setup on your desktop or laptop you can access those photos remotely using our Fotomobile website. With a user name and password you can access your photos from any portable device with a browser. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries you may have.
