RitzPix is primarily a photo printing service; the website www.ritzpix.com allows users to upload their photos online. The photos, a maximum of 100, are stored online free of cost for 90 days. One can also have the film uploaded at any Ritz Camera center. The photos are available only in a glossy finish; the option of a matte finish is not available at present. The size option too is limited and covers photos from wallet size to 8" x 10".



The photo editing tools are standard offerings and allow for red-eye removal, cropping, adjusting contrast, borders, and auto-enhancing. Other services include photos on gift items such as T-Shirts, posters, mugs, puzzles, and greeting cards. RitzPix has earned a reputation for sharp picture quality. It is a dependable online photo developer that brings out the textures and details in photos that it develops. However, the company may not always be able to stick to the promised turnaround time. RitzPix supports only JPEG and TIFF images and unlike other photo sharing sites, it does not allow full-resolution downloads from its site. This is a bit of a negative in an otherwise satisfactory viewing and sharing experience. The photos can be arranged online for convenient viewing and can be shared through emails and customized albums. The site offers a decent upload speed; a 400KB image can be uploaded in less than a minute with a cable internet connection.

The delivery times, price per print, and shipping costs vary with the various deals and number of print units ordered. The best prices are to be had with the prepaid deals; however, these may not necessarily be the best option for everybody. The value-for-money proposition does improve if one takes up any of the membership plans offered by RitzPix. RitzPix levies no shipping and handling charges on orders that it produces in-store. While purchasing prints, it is advisable to double check the shopping cart and bill amount to make sure that unasked for extra prints have not been included. RitzPix does not offer any special features such as simultaneous text messaging and integrated tools for photoblogging.
