The annoying part of picture day
happens after picture day.

Four tools that all read the same photo export, sold together for one price. ClassPhoto makes class composites, ServiceStix makes service sticker sheets, ClassPhoto IDs makes student and staff ID cards, and the Principal's Book makes the bound school directory.

Bought one at a time they add up to $276 a year. The Suite is $199 a year at the introductory price, on one key with one renewal date. Tools we add to the Suite later are included.

Whichever job is in front of you. Most photographers start with ClassPhoto, because composites are what every school asks for first. ServiceStix is the cheapest way to stop dreading the sticker order. ClassPhoto IDs and the Principal's Book are the two that let you quote a school something nobody else in your market is offering.

If you already know you want more than two, the Suite costs less than any three of them bought separately.

No. Every tool works on its own and none of them needs the others. Buy the one that solves the job in front of you. If you already own ClassPhoto or ServiceStix and later move to the Suite, contact us before you buy so we can credit what you have already paid.

ServiceStix is our second tool: it turns the same photo export into print-ready service sticker sheets: one sticker per student with their photo, name, grade, and teacher, laid out for standard label sheets you can buy on Amazon.

It's sold separately ($49/year) and works completely on its own, so you don't need a ClassPhoto license. It is one of four tools that read the same export: ClassPhoto for composites, ServiceStix for stickers, ClassPhoto IDs for ID cards, and the Principal's Book for the school directory. All four together are $199/year as the ClassPhoto Suite.

Yes. ClassPhoto runs entirely in your web browser, so it works on Mac, Windows, Chromebook, or any other computer. There's nothing to download or install. You just log in and go.

You'll need:

• A modern web browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari (the latest version is best)
• A reliable internet connection
• Enough free disk space to download your finished composites

That's it. No special graphics card, no minimum RAM, no installer. If you can browse the web, you can run ClassPhoto.

ClassPhoto is built around the zip file structure that GotPhoto exports, so it works perfectly with GotPhoto out of the box. If you use a different system that can export your photos organized into folders by class, there's a good chance ClassPhoto will work with that too.

Not sure? Use the contact form at the bottom of this page to send us a sample of your export file structure and we'll take a look before you buy.

Many school photographers come to ClassPhoto looking for a QComposite alternative. ClassPhoto is $89/year instead of $149/year, runs in your browser on Mac, Windows, or Chromebook, and lets you edit student names, swap photos, and fix mistakes right in the layout instead of re-importing. See the full feature comparison above. Want the whole picture? Read our full ClassPhoto vs QComposite comparison.

ClassPhoto is built around GotPhoto's zip export. If you shoot with PhotoDay or another platform that can export photos organized into folders by class, there's a good chance ClassPhoto will work with your files too. Send us a sample export through the contact form below and we'll confirm before you buy.

ClassPhoto is a digital product with instant access, so all sales are final. We keep it affordable at $89 a year and put everything you need to evaluate it right on this page: the feature list, the comparison with other tools, and a real sample composite generated by the app.

That said, if something is genuinely broken (the app won't load, your license key never arrived, the software isn't working as described), reach out through the contact form below and we'll make it right. Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, who acts as our merchant of record.

ClassPhoto is $89 per year, an introductory rate available through September 30, 2026. Your subscription renews automatically on the anniversary of your purchase so your access never lapses. You'll get an email receipt from Lemon Squeezy each time you're billed, and you can cancel at any time. No phone calls, no guilt trips.

No. Every tool in the Suite runs entirely inside your browser. Your zip is unpacked on your computer, the pages are drawn on your computer, and the finished files save to your computer. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account and no server holding student photos.

The one thing the app does send is your license key, to Lemon Squeezy, to check that it is valid. The app is served with a Content Security Policy that only permits that one connection, so a school IT director can verify the claim from the response headers rather than taking our word for it.

If a school client needs this in writing, use the contact form below and we will send you something you can forward.

Yes. Scroll up to the "Real output" section of this page. That's an actual composite generated by ClassPhoto, not a marketing mockup. The feature list and comparison chart cover exactly what the app does and doesn't do, so you can evaluate it against what you currently use.

If you have a specific question about your workflow before buying, use the contact form at the bottom of this page and we'll answer it honestly.

Checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy, which accepts all major credit and debit cards, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal in most regions. You'll get a receipt by email the moment your payment clears, with your license key included.

You have a few ways to get it back:

• Check your email. Search your inbox for "Lemon Squeezy" or "ClassPhoto". Your license key was sent in your original receipt.
• Log into your Lemon Squeezy customer account. Go to app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders, enter the email address you used at checkout, and they'll send you a secure magic link. Your license key is on the order page.
• Contact us. If neither of those works, use the contact form at the bottom of this page (use the email address you purchased with) and we'll look it up for you.

Inside the app, click the upload area (or drag your zip file onto it) and select the export file you downloaded from GotPhoto. ClassPhoto reads the folder structure, sorts every student into the correct class, and pulls their names from the filenames automatically.

Don't unzip the file first. Upload it as a .zip. ClassPhoto handles the unpacking.

If you already unzipped it to take a peek, here's how to zip it back up:

On a Mac:

• Find the folder that was inside the zip (the one containing all your class subfolders)
• Right-click (or Control-click) the folder and choose Compress "[folder name]"
• Mac creates a fresh .zip file right next to the folder. Upload that one

On Windows:

• Find the folder that was inside the zip
• Right-click the folder and choose Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder (on Windows 11 you may see Compress to → ZIP file)
• Windows creates a new .zip file. Upload that one

Zip the folder itself, not a selection of files inside it. ClassPhoto needs to see the class folder structure exactly the way GotPhoto exported it.

Most export issues come down to one of these:

• Your browser tab went to sleep. Large batches take processing power. Keep the ClassPhoto tab active and your computer awake while composites are generating.
• Your zip file is incomplete or corrupted. Try re-downloading the export from GotPhoto and uploading the fresh file.
• Pop-up blocker. If your download doesn't start, check that your browser isn't blocking pop-ups from ClassPhoto.
• Storage full. Make sure your computer has enough free space to hold the downloaded files.

If none of those fix it, use the contact form below and describe what you're seeing: what step you were on, what the error message said (if any), and what browser you're using. We'll help you sort it out.

Open the class, click into the student's name, and type the fix. No need to rename files, re-import, or start the class over. The composite updates with the corrected name.

This is one of the biggest differences between ClassPhoto and other composite tools: you fix the mistake where you see it, not by digging through folders.

Open the class you want to edit, then:

• To remove a student: click Remove next to their photo. The layout re-flows automatically, and there's an Undo if you change your mind.
• To add a student: upload their photo from your computer and assign them to the class.
• To swap a student's photo: click Replace photo on the student and choose the new file. Their name and spot stay put, which is what you want when you drop in a re-edited image.

Backgrounds: JPG or PNG, at least 3000 pixels wide for print-quality results. Horizontal orientation works best.

Logos: PNG with a transparent background so your logo sits cleanly over the composite. At least 800 pixels on the longest side.

If your files don't quite meet those specs, ClassPhoto will still use them. The composite just won't look as crisp when printed large.

Yes. A ClassPhoto key activates on 2 computers and a ServiceStix key on 5, which covers a studio desktop and a laptop with room to spare. If you hit the limit because you replaced a machine, use the contact form below and we will free up the slot.

Yes. Once you've built your composites, you can export the whole batch as PDF proofs in one click, ready to email to the school admin or teacher for name-check and approval before you print.

When you generate and download composites, they save to your computer's default Downloads folder as high-resolution JPEGs (or as a zip of all of them if you're batch-exporting). From there you can upload them to your lab, email them to the school, or organize them however you like.

You can cancel anytime directly through Lemon Squeezy:

• Go to app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders
• Enter your purchase email to get a magic login link
• Open your ClassPhoto subscription and click Cancel

Your access stays active until the end of your current billing period, then your license key will stop working. There are no partial-year refunds, but you're welcome to keep using it until your year runs out.

If you run into any trouble canceling, reach out through the contact form below.

Reach out through the contact form below as soon as you notice. We can't guarantee a refund on renewals, but if it just happened and you haven't used ClassPhoto since the renewal, we'll take a look at your situation. We're not trying to keep money from people who genuinely don't want the product anymore.

To avoid this in the future, you can cancel your subscription any time at app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders and keep your access through the end of your current billing period.

No. The final JPEG and PDF files you've already downloaded are yours to keep forever. They live on your computer. If your subscription lapses, you lose access to the app (so you can't generate new composites until you renew), but nothing you've already created goes anywhere.

Totally fair. Use the contact form right below this FAQ to tell us what's going on, even if it's something we haven't covered above, and a real human will get back to you within two business days. The more detail you can give us (what step you were on, what you expected to happen, what actually happened), the faster we can help.
