Great site for posting your photos whether you are a Pro or like me a Hobbyist. Had an issue, contacted them, they sorted it out. Lots of categories to post in, and fellow memebers can leave you comments and/or like your contribution.
They lied to me twice on Instagram, promising me they would feature my work on their website's home page if i became a member. I joined and was never featured despite following up on these promises multiple times. They just ignored my messages and then the accounts that messaged me eventually disappeared. They lie to people for their own gain. Not a website i want to use or be associated with.

Very interesting service. Allows you not only to share your creativity, but also to get acquainted with the works of professional photographers. I recommend it!

I always become so glad to share my photos with others on this great platform because it can give me a great chance to socialize more and also see some more photos of other photographers who are professional in their works.
A silver lining for the site would be seeing others photos from across the world. The issue is that the site is filled with bots, and ultimately there to scam users of money by hardselling you into thinking you need a premium upgrade. Fast forward one year and they'll charge your bank with their MAXIMUM prices with zero notice. You'll never get a refund or anything positive from Youpic; it's almost all fraudulent. This should be investigated for a class action lawsuit.
Tip for consumers:
Post elsewhere.
One of the best mediums available to communicate and share the works of lesser known artists.They share your photos and other artwork with over 40,000 people.
I love what they do...
If you want to create a profile and categorize your photo, I serusly recommend YOUPIC. This photography website has no censorship to any photo also any people can't screanshot your photo because the website don't allow other members to have a copy of your photo in their device. This 2 items are one of the best ability of this portal.
Youpic is your perfect platform to present and publish your photos. Register and start posting photos in high quality. You can also put your photos up for sale.
I have not written any reviews before today, but your fantastic and beautiful services have forced me to write a review for you. Your customer service is very good and you work as a specialist, but I am less impressed with you due to some unsatisfactory assistance.
I've been with YouPic for a number of years now and recently the site has seriously gone downhill! To the point where I have now deleted my account.
YouPic is now rife with AI images which 'photographers' are passing off as their own work. Spammers who are opening free profiles and bombarding everyone with advertising.
And finally graphic images of both men and women, some crossing the boundary and are outright pornographic!
They have 4 sections. Home, inspiration, hot and newest. Hot used to be quality photographs of landscapes etc. Now 95% are of open legged images of females.
I signed up for YouPic a while back--don't remember why or when. Started getting messages and emails from YouPic, but never paid much attention. I don't really check that email account very often. Lately, I saw all these messages and decided to try to remember what YouPic was. So I clicked on the link in one of these emails. Had to reset my password because it's been so long.
Then I read these messages from "Lisa" about how they have a client that has spotted one of my images and wants to purchase it, if only I would upgrade to the PRO level of YouPic, which is pricey even after the discount offer. The problem is this: I have never uploaded ANY images to YouPic, so it's just not possible that any client has seen any of my images on this platform. And of course, if they had seen my work on ANY OTHER platform, they could contact me directly, and it wouldn't cost me anything.
YouPic doesn't provide any added value, so I quit them.
Amazing website. An inspiring site... for both beginners and professional photographers...
It's a wonderful platform to post your photos. I Love it
YouPic is a place to share photos. In this website, good photographers from different parts of the world share their photos.
And it creates a great atmosphere for competition between photographers.
The administrators of this website carefully review and judge the photos.
This website has a beautiful appearance and practical features.
I gave full rating to this website.
I am in Iran and with many restrictions in all areas, but here it has created a sense of success and hope for me.
Yes, it's a very good site to showcase your photography and get invaluable feedback from other members. However, they have a feature called "The Inspiration Feed." Photos that are deemed "Inspirational", are shown on an ever-expanding wall. Members are encouraged to award a photo star if they are so inspired to do so. In other words, it leaves you to believe that the members would report their inspiration to other members. No. They will post a photographer's photo only if it inspires them. So, "The Inspiration Wall" is made up of what the owners of YouPic like. They don't seem to be professional or fine art photographers. Spoiler Alert: Lots of photos of squirrels and pouty young girls.
Excellent services and friendly environment. A lot of interesting material. Professional management and stuff.
I have just been caught out by the draconian policies of You Pic around subscriptions, so wanted to warn you all to be extremely cautious. Make sure you cancel the annual auto renewal immediately or you too might get caught out. There is no communication that your annual subscription is about to auto renew and no hope of a refund if they do. Hundreds of Euros charged against my account for a service I definitely don't want and no right to a refund. This approach by You Pic falls short in 3 out of the 4 areas described in the attached chart on unfair contracts.

Subscription
Youpic is a good photography website for ideas and pictures. It never got me any business. Signing up for premium service at a discount is good but the following subscription rate is extremely expensive with not notice. Don't fall into the trap.the pro service is not worth 370.00 per year. If you dispute it you will not get your money back. Buyer beware. A free subscription will get you almost the same value.
I love how this site has leaderboards and is constantly updated. After being let down by Flickr, I feel lucky to have found Youpic.
I've used YouPic for a good number of years and initially had very good impressions about it as an alternative to other large sites. In particular it was photography oriented and encouraged constructive comments and discussions more than hearts.
However, support is increasingly hard to find to the extent I wasn't sure if they are staying in business. Selling and visibility is not that great even with the Pro level. They seem to have more or less dropped curation or don't have to staff to support this anymore. Billing is too hidden. I thought I had dropped the Pro level subscription but it is really hard to find your subscription details (impossible on the app? Maybe only accessible on the web site?). Not happy to be hit unexpectedly with $500 CAD charge for very little service!
I'm disappointed to see what looked like a great project degrade into rubbish. Gave two rather than one star because of the good experience years ago.
Tip for consumers:
I’ve used this site service for many years so the review is based on long term experience.
Products used:
All basic services for image sharing. Pro version of their site including web hosting and print sales. Image curation. Used Pro for a couple of years without much additional benefit than basic level. Could not successfully drop subscription to lower service. Had to delete account and all contacts and images.
It is a good platform for both professionals and beginners. Inspiring ideas to learn from and its also easy to use.
Please stay away from this website since once you have subscribed a paid account its impossible to unsubscribe and they charge you the maximum price 119$ 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.
Tip for consumers:
Please use it but only as a free account and use a secondary email to avoid being spammed by messages. NEVER give them your bank account informations or paypal address, charges are fully automatic and with no advice.

Lisa from YouPic wants to negotiate a price for my photos on my behalf for her clients but needs me to upgrade to a Pro membership. If this is true, then they would more than likely get my work for next to nothing because Lisa needs to please her clients and Lisa would get a Premium membership out of me plus the potential/existing client would have to join or already is a member of YouPic for a fee, so win/win/win for Lisa. With or without a pro membership, I should be allowed to negotiate a price for my work since it will be used commercially and a good potential for me to make probably at least a little more money with understanding how the picture would be used. Overall, I think this is just a ploy to get memberships. I have only been a part of YouPic for five months and the discount offers went from a free month of premium to 50% off per year, then 60% off per year and now 70% off per year. This makes me feel that the membership fee is very subjective and they just need to keep money rolling in. With Flickr, Deviant Art, Facebook, Model Mayhem and Instagram people get ahold of me direct for any use of any of my photos and we negotiate from there. I do not trust YouPic and will not be purchasing a Pro membership, they do not make sense and Lisa the sales rep seems to have a attitude as well, I screen shot in the attached pictures
Tip for consumers:
there are better ways to sell your pictures. Even at 70% off it is $108 per year at YoupPic.com and then it will go up to around $400 per year, but if Lisa is negotiating what the value of your pictures are worth to 'her clients campaigns' how would you ever know that you are being undersold!! The photographer should be in direct contact with the client since Lisa claims that she makes 0% commission. Or, t's all a ploy to get you to pay for a membership, either way YouPic.com sucks!!

None, Lisa the sales rep is pushy and argumentative, this makes her very untrustworthy.
I've been using youpic for a few years, you can find nice persons to chat with and great photos to watch, unfortunately the rewarding process is just damned stupid, making those wanting to be on the top list clicking all day long to catch thumbs up or inspirations by passing 1 sec on your photos. And thus during the past years tons of meah photos on the site now. Porn limit on some of them as well with no real admin to cure. The more you pay the more you get inspirations... So in the end good to be free there to follow some authors but in the end much more to find else where, the yp community is not that big, the site keeps followers even if they left years ago... Now. To finish, nearly daily reminder to subscribe from the bots...
