FixThePhoto Company was founded in 2003 and has grown into a leading online photo retouching service. The team initially concentrated on portraits and headshots, offering editing services to individual photographers in the US only.
Over the years, we expanded the range of offered services significantly and geographically. By 2009, our company introduced old photo restoration to help clients revive damaged images.
In 2015, the company launched a product editing line tailored for e-commerce photographers, further broadening our client base and setting our position in the market.
When we learned that businesses with blogs get 67% more leads than those without, we decided to start our own blog in 2005. The goal was to answer our client’s most common questions, like how do i export a lightroom catalog or how can i check if my vpn is on. At first, we focused on basic topics and managed to publish 30 articles in the first few months.
Over time, it became clear that our clients needed more. We started translating articles for audiences in different countries and decided to cover more topics, from retouching and photography to equipment and scanners for digitizing old photos.
Today, our blog provides not only tips and guidelines but also resources for those who want to collaborate with us. We’ve turned it into a platform where photographers, retouchers, and tech enthusiasts can find useful information and opportunities for growth. Our articles on photography tips, editing guides, and gear reviews are among the top 10 most popular searches online.
In 2017, we launched our online store with handy tools for photographers of all levels. We sell Lightroom presets, Photoshop actions, seamless textures and overlays, as well as marketing templates, logos, and professional pricing guides (mainly for photographers). We're constantly expanding our library, adding new products.
In 2020, we launched a series of informative articles and video tutorials. Our lessons are devoted to different topics, including techniques our retouchers and video editing experts use in their practice, inspiration, business strategies, and more.
2022 was a big year for the FixThePhoto team – we launched our mobile app, Fix The Photo Body Editor&Tune, bringing professional photo editing to your phone 24/7. It is available on both iOS and Android.
Today, FixThePhoto offers a comprehensive array of photo and video editing services. With over 20 years of experience, it has become a go-to editing assistant for people globally.
We do not only do the editing job, but we also aim to support creatives from virtually any corner of the globe. Our blog is a helpful source of useful ideas, tips, tutorials, and behind-the-scenes insights. It’s designed to help beginners become more confident and improve their skills.
