A new photography platform has arrived. Chronological, ad-free, and uncropped.

Available on Android and iOS

Foto is for everyone.

At Foto, we celebrate the profound power of a photograph. We've seen how a single image can capture a moment, tell a story, and bridge divides. It's a medium that, at its best, brings us closer together, fostering empathy and understanding in a world that often feels fragmented.

We are excited to announce that Public Beta is here! Many of you have been patient and eagerly waiting to join Foto, and now we are opening our doors to more people than ever before.

The purpose of Public Beta is to stress test the app by quadrupling our user count. This 4x’ing of the community will help us see how efficient our code is concerning our cloud computing bill and discover new bugs.

Foto will still have some bugs and features that are missing during Public Beta.

  • Public Beta is free to join.

  • We’ll be accepting 9,000 more Android Users and 4,500 more Apple Users.

  • We encourage you to share Foto with your friends, family, and online audience.

  • Foto is 100% community-supported. The Public Beta is the next step in our journey together.

Upcoming
Pro Features

  • We want to challenge the concept of where your best work lives. It makes sense to us that your curated work should also live where your audience is. The upcoming Portfolio feature will reduce the friction of people needing to leave one place and go to another to see your very best work.

  • We want to give all artists and businesses an online shop directly within their profile to sell prints, books, art, education, and anything else you can imagine.

  • Think Substack or Patreon, but all within the Foto App. Connect deeper with your biggest fans or teach people how to reach new heights through online education.

  • Instead of having to pay for a 3rd party piece of software to schedule posts, we plan on building a Post Scheduler directly into the Foto interface. This will be great for accounts that have social media managers or people that want to schedule posts ahead of time, freeing up their time.

  • This will be integrated into the Shop, but we are huge believers in the importance of print. We want to help photographers and artists easily sell more prints through Print Fulfillment, so they can use their time making art not being a print lab.

  • We feel like this is an obvious feature. If you are already uploading your work to Foto, we want to be able to double down by giving you the features to securely store your hi-res files in a private archive that will be fully searchable and properly cataloged.

Let’s Build Together

While we are developing Foto, we want to connect with you and get honest feedback.

Join the Foto Substack to receive updates on the latest progress and to help us build an app that will rethink the new wave of social platforms.

 FAQs

  • Foto is for anyone who wants to share photographs and images online. We are not building Foto to be a place where only photographers talk to photographers.

  • No. We are not allowing any videos on Foto and we are opposed to building an ad-based business model. We believe it leads to attention farming and a horrible user experience.

  • Foto will always have a high-quality free tier so anyone can freely use Foto. We will have optional Pro Features for the segment of users who want to take their account to the next level. Over time, we will be introducing such features as a Portfolio, Shop, Paid Subscriber Area, and more.

  • We plan on releasing the desktop version of Foto in 2025, Lists, Multiple Images per Post, DMs, Capturing Image Metadata, and Powerful Search Features.

  • You can manage your Foto Ambassador Subscription at Ambassador Portal
