How Snapizzi Processes Your Image Files

Updated over a month ago

Indexing method is what Snapizzi uses to determine the proper sequence of your image files when processing. Time taken typically provides the best results and should be your first choice. Read this if your workflow may alter your image file EXIF data. Please note that indexing isn't necessarily display order since you can use Snapizzi Stars to control display order.

Name, privacy, and indexing method can be changed at any time — even after the photos have been uploaded and processed. The project type can only be changed as long as no photos have been uploaded.

There’s no need to rename files prior to upload, but if renaming is part of your workflow, ensure filenames have leading zeros equal to the highest number in the sequence (e.g., 0001 - 9999 rather than 1 - 9999). Your project will not index properly otherwise.

Snapizzi can export renamed versions of your image files for you if needed.

Use Reverse Indexing when photographing the card after your subjects. This method requires consistency throughout the project—either always photograph the card before or always after your subjects.

Ignore camera identification is used when your project image files have EXIF data that doesn't match. Don't use unless instructed by the Diagnose & Remedy tool or tech support.

Ensure that the time on your camera is set properly so timestamps are accurate in the image file EXIF data.
