You can create shareable online photo albums for photos as well as videos. Also, instead of just uploading your photos and videos one at a time or even in batches like similar services, shwup actually allows you to import photos from any website. So, you can create a new Photo Album with the contents from an album on your Flickr, Picasa, iPhoto or Facebook account. You can select all of the contents or just the photos you want to add to your shwup album.

The file size limit for uploading is a hefty 100 MB per file, which isn't bad for photos but not so great for video files, which can get much larger than that. Still, you'll be able to upload a boatload of photos without any problems.

Once you create albums, you can actually create a muvee online. A muvee is a photo slideshow that you can customize with styles, themes and a music soundtrack. You simply drag and drop the photos you want to use in the muvee timeline. They recommend up to 25 photos for optimum performance but you can surpass that total if you want.

You then select the theme you want for muvee and choose from a collection of songs provided by shwup, or you can upload your own mp3 songs, which is a great option. The only downside is that any songs you upload do not stay online for future use. You have to upload them each and every time which isn't very convenient. Still, it's nice being able to use your own music.

Once completed, the muvee can be added to your Album. You can then share the album with anyone you want by sending them the unique URL that's created for every album you make. You can also share your albums on your social networks. The photos, videos and muvees will all appear in the album that you share.
