We've already got thee things to share with you on this celebration day: Firstly, there is something special for Facebook users - a full featured Facebook app which integrates seamlessly with Facebook allowing you to select photos directly from the albums you already have and saving them there with a single mouse click. We've been working really hard to get this ready by today and hope you'll love it. Did we mention it works perfectly with an iPad? Secondly, but not less important we have released a major update to our Android application which solves problems on most handsets and adds the ability to rotate and crop images. And lastly, we have an anniversary contest! In order to get in you will need to send an anniversary congratulation to info@photofunia.com with the subject "Anniversary contest".

У нас уже есть три новости, которыми мы бы хотели поделиться с вами в этот праздничный день: Первая, пожалуй должна порадовать пользователей Facebook: мы выпустили Facebook приложение, позволяющее вам выбирать и сохранять фото в существующие альбомы. Мы старались, чтобы оно было готово к сегодняшнему дню и надеемся, что оно Вам понравится. Кстати, оно отлично работает на iPad! Вторая, не менее важная новость: сегодня вышло обновление нашего Android приложения, в котором решены проблемы, с которыми сталкивались пользователи некоторых мобильных устройств, а также добавлена возможность поворота и кадрирования фото.

Dear PhotoFunia users,

We are currently testing a new photo uploader. Select any effect you like and you will see a link that enables you to switch to the new uploader. You will no longer have to re-upload same photo again and again in order to apply different affect to it and in certain effects you will also get an option to crop it. Please note that this feature is still under heavy development. We welcome any feedback and suggestions.




Дорогие пользователи,

Мы тестируем новый загрузчик фото. Зайдя на страницу любого эффекта Вы увидите ссылку, кликая на которорую Вы можете  переключиться в режим нового загрузчика. Теперь Вам не прийдется загружать одно и то же фото снова и снова для того, чтобы применить к нему другой эффект, также мы сделали доступным возможность выбора фрагмента Вашего фото для эффектов, где  ранее Ваше фото могло быть обрезано. Данная функция находится в стадии разработки, поэтому будем рады любым Вашим отзывам и пожеланиям.

PhotoFunia has finally signed an agreement with governments of India, Pakistan and Belarus to allow photos made in PhotoFunia to appear in national passports and ID cards and act as an official proof of citizen's ID.

If you are a lucky Citizen of those three countries please contact your local passport issuing authority to exchange your passport. Please note that following will be required otherwise the application will not be accepted: 1) Your original passport and/or national ID card 2) 5 printed photos made at PhotoFunia 3) Non-refundable deposit of USD 15,99 (USD 29,99 for animated photo)
