Shutterfly, the leading Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service, launches iPhone application, a new free photo sharing iPhone App that gives customers the power to upload, view and share their photos while on-the-go. The application, also compatible with the iPod Touch, is available free of charge at the Apple App Store.

The Shutterfly iPhone App allows customers mobile access to their favorite photos. After a simple download, customers can sign in and view their albums on their iPhone. Photos taken on the iPhone can be uploaded to the customer’s account and stored for free, at full resolution. Additionally, users can create a new account directly from their iPhone.

“With our free photo sharing iPhone App, we are simplifying the mobile photo experience, while adding something no one else can – the ability to share these memories in award-winning photo books, cards and photo gifts, or on a personalized website.” said Peter Elarde, chief marketing officer of Shutterfly.

Because Shutterfly’s iPhone App automatically uploads photos to a registered account, it allows customers to instantly post photos to their personalized Share site for friends and family to see. Photo uploads happen automatically in the background, permitting the user to take and upload multiple photos at once. As with all accounts, Shutterfly offers free, unlimited storage, stores images at full resolution and does not delete images.
