I am doing photography for 30 years. In these years I've tried few websites and other digital platforms to present my artworks but I wasn't satisfied with the services and publicity. Youpic is the best solution for your works to be seen in a professional community and a great place for exchanging ideas among those who are mostly professional in their work. I am fully satisfied and making my portfolio in that platform.

Quite bad site that deletes photos of individuals when they think. Very expensive, not worth that much.

Avoid
September 11, 2021

At first I thought this was a good site. Soon I realized you could build you own for less money. They will charge you a fortune and bill you without notice and refuse refunds. Terrible customer service. Greedy. Avoid!

I enjoy using YouPic to share my photography and to view that of others world-wide. There are some members who seem to post every sot they have - but I ignore those and focus on following the good photographers who post their best work.

The "Inspiration" feeds are great and you can select the field of photography that interests you. The staff who curate and award "inspiration stars" are selective and give you an interesting flow of work from others to enjoy and learn from. Others who view your work can also recommend your image for a "star" and give you feedback or share with their followers. I find it an efficient way to view and enjoy the work I like.

On the negative side, they do push you to sign up for more advanced membership, but I find the middle "Premium" level more than adequate for my needs.

I see YouPic as a great forum for sharing with and learning from other photographers. I do not find it useful for marketing your own work.

Very disappointed!
July 26, 2021

Really very disappointed to connect to the Youpic community where Helga found me in Linkedin and invited me to Youpic that i will be able to sell my photos there!
She gave me the Promocode and now after a month of use they took my money, i dont use it and don't have time for it and still they dont give me my money back! I cancelled the automatic payment the same day money was taken, didn't get any message before. Now Lisa from Youpic writing me that it is not possible to get refund... Really bad, too bad! Everywhere is possible to cancel the membership if not happy with service, but not on this BAD YOUPIC SITE!

I prefer the site to most others, when. You post people see it, a lot of people, rather then a small following you build over time, which also happens, but it isn't a popularity contest, you just post and people look, mostly other photographers of all calibers and skill levels. Sites that appeal to the masses your viewers are regular Joes that don't know a good photograph from a bad one. There are features I wish it had, like the ability to update an image after the fact, rather then delete it and repost, and it would be nice if you could post sample / reference images in the comments...

Good website
July 5, 2021

I used this site and I liked That. There is right click protection, many photographers see my work and some of them give feedback, I also can become familiar with their work and learn from them. I think the evaluation system based on 4 photo characteristic is good, since I needed somebody evaluate my works. Although the evaluation is don by members,

YouPic are tricky scammers!
June 30, 2021

That is how in a nutshell YouPic screws money out of you:

1. They find a photographer on the net (say, via Instagram), say how good an artist you are, and suggest you become a part of the YouPic community.

2. As soon as you sign-up for a free service, YouPic starts constantly bugging you with their messages to buy a subscription with a large discount (in my case 70%). Note: after one year of subscription, you will start paying disproportionately larger amounts!

3. After you have paid your money and subscribed for a year, you start realizing that their platform with all the revealed (due to subscription) features is no different from a plethora of other similar services like 500px, Flickr, Excio, etc. Moreover, they are much worse than their competitors UI/UX, services and price-wise!

4. YouPic return policy is contradictory and thus misleading, stating that "Payments are non-refundable" in the "Subscription Billing and Cancellation" clause, but at the same time saying that "if you are unsatisfied with any Photos, Videos or other Products you have purchased from YouPic, we will gladly accept the return of any Product you have ordered for any reason within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the Product."

5. Any attempts to return the subscription money in case of your dissatisfaction with YouPic fail mercilessly. This failure demonstrates how in real terms YouPic treats photographers by exerting their fraudulent and scammy marketing on them.

After a month of using YouPic I canceled the subscription and deleted my account completely, without any reimbursement from YouPic. I am very happy now I did it, though!

Please, be aware and don't trust YouPic whose major strategy is to screw as much money out of you as they possibly can!

Please stay away from this website since once you have subscribed a paid account its impossible to unsubscribe and they charge you the maximum price 119$ without warnings or advices. Premium accounts also don't give you what do they promise (for example video uploads are limited). You also are spammed with messages ask you to upgrade. You also have to disable the adult option otherwise you will see mainly nude models and girls in your feed.

YouPic has created an exciting world for me. My acquaintance with this site started a year ago and my serious activity has taken place in the last few months and continues with enthusiasm every day. Because I can get acquainted with anywhere in the world and with the creativity and human outlook of artists and art lovers around the world, and it has been extremely exciting and instructive for me to communicate with mental images and fascinating nature in diverse cultures; So much so that despite serious concerns on Facebook over the years, it has now forced me to visit this site several times a day and refresh myself by breathing in it!
YouPic, with its importance to the technical, artistic and technical details of photographs and the possibility of receiving feedback from viewers, has been able to deepen a closer look at artists and photographers and art lovers to nature and man, and to develop meaningful human communication and culture of tolerance. Synergy in human relations in the global village helped the people of this time!
In turn, I sincerely thank the staff of this site and its active, responsible, persistent and educated staff.
