Snapfish is actually a web based photo sharing and print service owned by Hewlett-Packard. The site was launched in April 2000 and eventually became a part of HP in the year 2005. At the origins it was a startup, founded by @Ventures, which is a capital arm of CMGI, Mayfield Fund and a number of private investors.

Snapfish has its headquarters in San Francisco, California. The year 2004 saw the web site open a retail store in Alexandria, Virginia, although the present day sees Snapfish not maintaining retail stores.
