📡

FTP from camera

Camera sends rated images wirelessly to Photostream in real time. No card pull needed—images arrive as you shoot.

📱

CardRunner (iPhone/iPad)

Connect your camera or memory card via USB-C. Only rated images import with optimized file sizes. Built for low-connectivity environments.

💻

CardReader (Mac)

Auto-ingest selected images from connected memory cards. Collect cards from multiple shooters and mass upload over a strong wired connection. Auto-eject when done.

Whether it’s FTP, iPhone, or Mac—your selects arrive in the same editor gallery, instantly.

Stop importing entire cards

Common questions

Are my originals affected?

Never. Originals stay untouched on the card. Photostream delivers previews for speed—you always have the full-res files.

Do I need new gear?

No. Works with any camera via FTP import or by scanning a memory card with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Does this replace Lightroom or Photoshop?

It doesn’t have to. Photostream gets images to your editor faster, and you can open them in whatever tools you prefer. But if you just need simple exposure and color adjustments, you can do that right in Photostream and export directly—no other app required.

What if connectivity is unreliable?

Built for sidelines. CardRunner and CardReader upload optimized images with smart retry for optimal performance in the worst network conditions. Photos sync as soon as connectivity returns.

How fast do images arrive?

With FTP, images arrive as you shoot—seconds after rating. With CardRunner or CardReader, images upload as soon as you connect the camera or insert the card. Either way, editors see photos in seconds, not minutes.

Built from years of shooting live sports and learning what slows a workflow down. In this industry, a touchdown photo that arrives five minutes late is worthless. Photostream handles delivery, connectivity, and file management so you can stay focused on what you do best.
