5.4 Billion Images, One Story: Aftershoot Snapshot 2024

5.4 billion images! Let that sink in!

That’s enough to fill 540,000 photo albums, each holding 10,000 memories. Or, if you tried to scroll through them all, it would take more than a lifetime—more than 150 years of viewing per second, to be exact.

And that is how many images photographers processed using Aftershoot in 2024. It's surreal when you think about it!

This milestone isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to the creativity, passion, and hard work of our incredible photography community. Last year's 1 billion images seemed remarkable until 2024 showed us what was truly possible. 

Over the last 12 months, we gave our all to make your life a little bit easier than before. A little more time to be with family and friends, a little more time for ourselves and our passion, and a little more time to grow our business. 

Aftershoot Snapshot 2024: By the Numbers

Import, cull, edit, and done — took us a while to get here. While you were busy culling and editing your images on Aftershoot, we were putting our heads together to make Aftershoot even faster and more efficient for you.

The unicorns did the magic and we did the math.

Wait there's more...

And more

And some more..

How did we get here?

This year redefined what's possible in photography. From launching groundbreaking features that transformed your workflow to building a vibrant global community through our Create Together Fund to bringing photographers together at unforgettable events – every month wrote a new chapter in our shared story. 

Let's take a look at how photographers like you helped shape a year of remarkable innovations and meaningful connections

One Solution at a Time

This year we wanted to simplify your workflow one update at a time. From launching survey mode in January to One Click Culling and Editing in October, each improvement was designed to help you spend more time doing what you love. Here’s how your workflow transformed throughout the year: 

We worked tirelessly to simplify your workflow so you can deliver photos to your clients faster! With one click culling and editing —-your photos are culled and edited, ready for the finishing touches.

Extreme Cull, a feature that curates your selections to just 10-20% of your entire photoshoot and so much moreeee.

One Event at a Time 

This year, we launched the Create Together Fund, a $1M grant program to support photography communities worldwide. We’ve already funded 15 inspiring events, with 11 more lined up for next year. Follow our Instagram and stay in the loop with all the upcoming events.

One Connection at a Time

The Aftershoot Retreat was an unforgettable gathering of photographers and friends. From laughs to learning, it brought our community closer together. Live the moment with this video!

We traveled many miles to make photographers everywhere a part of this amazing community. Our team traveled to Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and more, met amazing photographers and told them the tale of the magical unicorns that cull and edit photos in minutes! 

One Story at a Time 

Your stories inspire us every day. This year, we've been blown away by the incredible moments you've shared. Here are some of our favorites from the community!

What Next?

2025 is about to be exciting with our biggest launch yet — AI retouching. Finally, a complete post-production workflow – cull, edit, and retouch, all in one place. No more switching apps – just seamless creativity from start to finish

Looking forward to 2025

And that’s a wrap. As we bid adieu to 2024, we want to give thanks to our amazing community, team members, mentors, and anyone else who has been a part of Aftershoot. We couldn’t have done it without you. Cheers to growing more together and making every photographer’s life easier ev
