In addition to a large catalog of customizable photo products, Shutterfly offers you several photo sharing tools to distribute images between your friends, families and other groups of people. From the main Shutterfly interface, you can email pictures and post photos or albums to Facebook, though neither option offers high-resolution downloading capabilities. With Shutterfly Share Sites and the Shutterfly iOS app, on the other hand, you can save images at print-quality resolution.
