Shutterfly Rescues Billions of Photos from Desktops and Devices in 201009:00 EST Wednesday, December 08, 2010 REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (Business Wire) -- Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), a leading Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service, today reveals a growing trend among consumers to create lasting keepsakes by rescuing their images from computers, cell phones and social networking sites. According to a recent survey conducted by InfoTrends, more than 40 percent of respondents who share photos on social networking sites were interested in creating lasting keepsakes with those photos, an increase from 2009. Mirroring this sentiment, Shutterfly witnessed a 47 percent increase in personalized products and services net revenues in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to Q3 2009, as stated in the Company's third quarter 2010 earnings report. Shutterfly supports this growing trend by offering consumers the ability to access Facebook photos to create Shutterfly Simple Path photo books.

Shutterfly offers endless ideas for how to save images from being forgotten.” To help consumers rescue the photos that matter most, Shutterfly provides the following tips: Avoid Seeing Double: One of the best parts of digital photography is the ability to take endless shots to capture the perfect picture. But why keep two – or five! – versions of the same basic image? Go through series of similar shots, pick the best and delete the rest. Don't forget to backup online at Shutterfly; the company offers free, unlimited storage. What's more, Shutterfly's new upload tool makes photo organization even faster. Book It: One of the most impressive ways to quickly and easily free photo memories from virtual file cabinets – including those old social networking photo albums – is to collect your memories in a bound Simple Path photo book. Tell the story of your year by showcasing your photos in exclusive styles themes like Bon Voyage, Winter Wonderland, Modern Portfolio or Confetti. Pencil in Some Memories: New this year, Shutterfly offers desk calendars, perfect for work or home. The company also debuts 20 new stylish designs for its wall calendar collection, as well as options like personalized dates and photos in the calendar grid.
