Snapfish is a web-based photo sharing and print service currently owned by Hewlett-Packard which was launched in April 2000. Snapfish was bought and became a division of HP in 2005, but was originally a startup, funded by @Ventures, the affiliated venture capital arm of CMGI, Mayfield Fund and private investors.

Snapfish is based out of San Francisco, California. In 2004, Snapfish opened a physical retail store in Alexandria, Virginia, but they are not currently maintaining the retail stores. Instead, Snapfish supports Retail Pickup at selected locations in Walgreens, Costco, Staples_Inc. and other local photo finishers, notably Jessops (UK) and Rabbit Photo (Australia).

As of 2007, Snapfish has over 40 million members, and houses over 1 billion unique digital pictures. Snapfish has been honored by Editor’s Choice awards from GoodHousekeeping, PCMagazine, MacWorld, and Laptop Magazine; the 2003 Rising Star Award at the 7th Annual Webby Awards; and the Gold Star Site Award from Yahoo! Internet Life.
