A Speed-First Desktop Uploader for Event Photos
Stop watching progress bars. Uplink is built to get photos delivered faster — with local quick compression, resumable uploads, distributed uploading across multiple photographers, and a browser upload add-on for volunteers or contributors who do not need the desktop client.
Built for Post-Event Delivery
Local Quick Compression
Compress on your computer to optimize upload speed. If your internet is weak, start compression first — upload faster once you’re back on a strong network.
Resume From Last Synced File
Connection dropped? Uplink resumes from the last known synced file — no re-uploading already-synced files.
Strict File Support (Fast + Predictable)
Upload only what you need: JPG/JPEG images and MP4 video. Built for speed-first delivery without extra format complexity.
Bulk HEIC to JPG
Convert mobile photos from HEIC to JPG in bulk so they can be uploaded right after the event.
Distributed Uploads (Unlimited Photographers)
No limit on how many photographers can upload for a single event. Upload from different locations, and the organiser downloads everything in one place.
Preserves Folder Structure
Uploads keep the same folder structure as your local drive, so photographers can immediately identify what’s what.
Time-to-Delivery Is the #1 Priority
After an event, every minute counts. Uplink focuses on upload speed first — local quick compression + resumable transfers — so your photos are ready for processing and delivery as fast as possible.
How Fast Photo Uploading Works
Install the Desktop Client
Runs on macOS and Windows. One-click install, no complex setup.
Select Your Event Folder
Uplink preserves your local folder structure so the uploaded gallery matches what photographers expect.
Compress + Upload (Speed-First)
Local quick compression optimizes transfer speed. If the network drops, uploads resume from the last synced file.
Fast Upload Features for Photographers
Multi-Threaded Acceleration
Maximizes your bandwidth with parallel upload streams. Built for speed so photos get delivered sooner.
Local Quick Compression
Compresses files on your computer to optimize upload speed. When you’re back on a strong network, transfer is much faster.
Resume From Last Synced File
Internet cut out? Uplink resumes from the last known synced file — no starting over.
JPG/JPEG + MP4 Support
Uplink supports uploading JPG/JPEG images and MP4 video. Nothing else — built to be fast and predictable.
Bulk HEIC to JPG Convert
Have iPhone/Android photos? Convert HEIC to JPG in bulk so mobile captures can be uploaded immediately after the event.
Distributed Uploads + Central Download
Multiple photographers can upload from different locations. The organiser can download everything in one place. Original uploads are available for 2 weeks; watermarked photos remain available for up to 2 years.
Let volunteers upload without installing anything
Keep Uplink for large desktop batches, and add a no-install browser upload option for volunteers, staff, organizers, or anyone else contributing smaller photo sets from a mobile device, laptop, desktop, or other system.
Mobile-friendly uploads
Volunteers can upload useful event shots directly from mobile devices through the browser, without installing the desktop client.
Works from any browser
Use the same add-on from laptops, desktops, tablets, or other systems when the contributor only has a small batch to send.
Same event storage
Contributor uploads land in the same 9Pic event storage, so organizers do not have to chase Google Drive links or re-upload files later.
Desktop Client for Mac + Windows, Browser Add-On for Contributors
Uplink runs on macOS and Windows so photographers can upload straight from editing machines. For volunteers and smaller contributor batches, the browser upload add-on lets people send photos without installing anything.
