As a yoga studio owner who quickly adapted to teaching
online, Cincopa played a role in transforming LYFE Yoga into a virtual space
with the guidance of their tech expert, Wade Thiessen. I chose Cincopa because
they offer the essential tools my business needs to provide recorded live
stream classes to our loyal subscribers.
- Editing Editing Editing - Cincopa allows video trimming without creating a new file.
- Private galleries for students to access their own library of recorded classes.
- Dropbox integration
- Storage space
- Sorting Videos within individual private libraries
My marketing agency was hired to build a catalogue site for an audio equipment dealer. Over the course of discovery, we settled on using BigCommerce as a platform. One issue we didn't realize was the difference between page designs on the website and product pages versus the internal blog pages. We decided to utilize Cincopa to offer a gallery on content (blog) articles that would allow for a quick solution that worked better than writing custom software or intricate CSS files to facilitate multiple images in BigCommerce blog pages. As much of our client's website relies on multiple high-quality images, we needed a solution that loaded quickly, looked great, and was easy to embed or integrate. We found that in Cincopa.
- Set-Up: Setting up the galleries is mostly a drag-and-drop process that makes it easy for laymen (or interns) to easily format and put together, without a lot of coding knowledge or experience.
- Integration: With multiple options for integration, Cincopa allows you to control how the calls are made. Since it is a script-based import with its own container, it actually makes it easy to drop into nearly any webpage with little to no additional fussing.
- Options: Cincopa offers a great deal of gallery templates that can be used for images, videos, playlists, etc. The templates offer unique presentations and functions, and each template gives you additional control over the appearance of each gallery.
- In my experience, the drag-and-drop functionality when re-ordering a gallery has a tendency to break. This is either a complicated lock-up (something to do with the visualization) or being treated as text and only highlighting instead of moving.
- Many of the tool tips (?) don't explain the option well, often just repeating the available option. This isn't a major factor as some of the option effects can be figured out through trial and error, but it was something that I noticed during my first set-up.

I manage hundreds of websites. Every now and then I have a client who has some very specific needs for the website. Specifically requests for specialty photo galleries and file storing. I have found Cincopa to be a super easy tool to manage dozens of galleries for dozens of different clients with one login. Additionally, Cincopa provides simple iFrame embed code to easily add to ANY website.
- Connects to Zapier
- Great customer support
- Massive photo gallery templates to choose from
- The majority of the time I get immediate response when I have a question, but sometimes it can be a couple hour delay.

Cincopa Video Hosting
We use Cincopa to host a video on one of our apartment property websites. This is being used by the marketing department. This service makes it so easy to add a video to our website, and the variety of player templates to choose from is a really nice touch! You can customize the player to add brand colors, logos, etc. Exactly what I was looking for!
- Customization: you can choose from a variety of player templates and change a lot of backend things like automatic playing, sizing, colors, etc.
- Cincopa is really easy to use, and you don't have to know much about video hosting or adding them to your website to get how it works.
- The customer service team is really responsive and contacts you as soon as you sign up to find out what your business goals are and how they can help.
- I can't think of any areas of improvement that I would recommend.
- I think the service is easy to use.
- I haven't had any issues with video hosting so far!

I am an Associate Professor of English for Academic Purposes and I do cognitive linguistics research on the way students make meaning while brainstorming for essays, complete sentences, and write summaries and responses. This is all formal research covered by Federal Guidelines and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) that approves or disapproves research. I have been using Cincopa to post these videos from papers on discourse analysis and the study of the way students make meaning. We have also begun work with math word problems. I show these videos to students and at conferences to study ways to improve metacognition (i.e., thinking about one's own thinking). The entire goal is to improve students success with reading, writing, and critical thinking. I have not yet explored more options for using all the features, as I have the technical side very simple.
- Cincopa is a seamless way to upload videos and post them anywhere
- The quality of the different skins is outstanding.
- The time to upload is superb.
- I don't have any ideas for improvement because I am doing very simple work with this wonderful tool.

Cincopa for image hosting
I use Cincopa to host images on my website. There are small images which customers then click on. They expand and they are able to choose a suitable design.
It allows me to easily edit and change the images my customers can view. I paint personalized watercolors, so they need to be able to see lots of different options.
- Easy to set up and change galleries
- Simple and clear images on my website
- Mobile friendly
- I would like to be able to change the gallery background to white or transparent
- It would be nice to be able to keep the settings for any new galleries without having to manually do it.
- It's a shame the old package is no longer available. The Plus package is more than I can afford

- Ability to categorize content
- Seamless installation
- Easy to upload
- Easy formatting
- Have a better warning for users who went over the upload allowance for their specific plan

Cincopa is the best all-in-one tool for visual asset hosting in a creative and customizable way!
I am using Cincopa to manage large photograph slideshow decks across multiple website pages. It is a terrific tool that allows for beautifully customizable slideshows. Cincopa has a variety of templates to choose from that do well to match the style an format of any web page. Each template gives a different user experience as well, providing different levels of interactivity to best suit web designers. I think it is a great tool and I will continue to use it to build other slideshow-based components on the Girl Scouts of Western Washington's website.
- Customized slideshow templates
- Easy HTML embedding for any CMS
- Multiple integrations with Wordpress, Moodle, and social media platforms.
- Reliable image hosting and display without sacrificing an ounce of quality
- Making users aware of the amazing video tutorials and other educational resources that they have available.

Cincopa video hosting is exactly what we needed!
Currently, we use Cincopa for video hosting for our clients. When we develop a webinar or other short video, we host the video on Cincopa and add HubSpot forms over top for lead generation. Cincopa is an easy way to create a better user experience with video sharing. It is completely designed for the user so we don't lose potential leads in the process. HubSpot has recently added video features to their integration list, but it doesn't compare to what Cincopa currently offers (and the price is right!).
- HubSpot Integration - This is done really well. So easy and doesn't require much work from us, the administrator. The sync is seamless.
- Reporting - The dashboards are really easy to read and provide insight into total number of views (daily, weekly and monthly) and total traffic to the video. Then with HubSpot, we can actually track the conversion metrics.
- Setup and Implementation - Cincopa is really easy to set up. From uploading the video, to design elements, to embedding the video back on your website, it's all very simple.
- I honestly don't think I have anything I really dislike at this point. It does exactly what I need it to do.

Our corporate communications department uses Cincopa to host photo galleries and audio files, which we turn into podcast playlists. Cincopa allows us to easily drop an embed code into our CMS, rather than code original galleries ourselves. It's a plug and play.
- I like that Cincopa has many gallery design options.
- I've never had a problem with a Cincopa embed code. It works every time.
- Omer, at Cincopa, is always responsive to my emails.
- Cincopa only allows for one size of photo. For example, if I want to include a vertical photo and a horizontal one, I have to have the Cincopa team custom-code this feature for me. It should be an out-of-box feature.
- Our designer had to put some parameters in Cincopa, so that the galleries fit in well with our website. It's not intuitive to the average person.
- The analytics are very lacking. We have a podcast page where about four to five podcast series live, but the analytics are the same for all of those series because Cincopa only records when someone sees the first slide of a gallery, not individual slides. So, there's no way to know if one podcast is more popular than the other. And, since Cincopa is an iframe, we can't gather this data with Google Analytics either.

We have been using Cincopa for a Community group that we are running the website for, and found Cincopa to be fantastic in providing access to tools that previously we would have had to employ a developer for. The range of tools is fantastic and the results are great.
- The ability to email images into a live webpage
- Scrolling images from a library accessible by non techies
- Video hosting without the hassle
- I can't think of anything here at present

Cincopa helps us make our web content dynamic and visually engaging
Our editorial department is using Cincopa as an interim solution to provide a multimedia experience to users on our existing site, while we gear up to building a site that will allow us to do this natively on the site. Cincopa has helped us create more dynamic, engaging experiences for content that has the potential for visual richness.
- Cincopa is user-friendly from the upload process of slideshows to the editing process.
- Cincopa embeds work well on our site.
- Cincopa allows us to add calls to action right on the slideshow itself.
- Sizing the embeds for iframe use can be tricky — the photo menu along the bottom doesn't always appear and it takes some playing with.

Review of Cincopa for a newspaper website photo gallery
We're a newspaper, and we use Cincopa to host photo slideshows on our website. Our site by default could not do slideshows, which had been a problem for several years, and Cincopa worked nicely to make that possible.
- Ease of use: Just upload photos and then paste the link onto your website.
- Design is good and flexible if you want to try different looks.
- Support has been good for me in limited use with it. No problems.
- Vertical photos are handled funny in the slideshows I've done. They increase the size of the whole slide instead of fitting into the same width as horizontal photos with black around the edges, which is what I'd prefer.

If you are looking for a great way to organize and optimize your photography for your website Cincopa is it. I am a photographer and have struggled with organizing and displaying my photography on my web page for a long time. As I grew and added more and more photos it bogged my website down. It ran slow and the images took too long to load for my customers to see. Cincopa gave me everything I needed to organize and let my website run fast! I was able to upload all of my photos to Cincopa in one step, and quickly organized them. Then I could select amazing photo galleries to show on my website! They look amazing and are super-fast and responsive!
This was very important to me because a lot of people view my photos on their phone or tablet. My website is not that responsive but using Cincopa I did not have to worry about that. The entire process was simple and fast. Cincopa let me do everything I wanted for my gallery and slideshows without any branding to seamlessly blend into my webpage. If you are a photographer and need a simple fast way to show your work, Cincopa is the best choice.

- Responsive - if your platform is not responsive it will display the gallery this way across all platforms.
- Fast - if you have slow uploads it will increase your load speed.
- Easy - you can upload all your photos at once or one at a time. Then use a preset gallery to display them.
- If they could have more options for photo galleries. They have great options but more may appeal to others.

I use Cincopa to create photo galleries of events the LBA hosts. These photo galleries are then posted on our website and shared on social media and in our weekly e-newsletters so our members and potential new members can see what goes on at the LBA. The communications department solely uses Cincopa. Our website is not set up to host large photo galleries, so it allows us to post dozens of photos in an easy to use photo gallery on our website.
- Cincopa has many templates to chose from. This allows me to chose exactly what I need for a particular gallery and I don't worry about all of my photo galleries looking the same and boring.
- Cincopa offers responsive photo galleries that are easy to view on both desktop computers and on mobile devices
- The customer service at Cincopa is fantastic. Someone is always there to help.
- The website is a little difficult to navigate at first.

Using Cincopa in Higher Education
We use Cincopa in the Marketing & Communications office, as do several colleagues around campus. It is the tool we use to embed photo galleries throughout our website.
- Various gallery templates and the ability to customize them
- Easy to embed into our website's implementation
- Ability to use for photo and video
- Fickle at times with saving caption information, ordering correctly, and updating to reflect changes
- Capacity limits can be frustrating
Cincopa is used to run a user-generated image gallery on one of our organisation's public web pages. We use an internal discord server to submit content via Zapier, which is then uploaded for public consumption.
- It looks great on the website.
- It's one of the few solutions that integrates with Zapier in the way we wanted
- It's fairly easy to use and set up
- View limit for the free plan could be higher to improve testing
- It would be good if there were even more options for the gallery layout

I am a professional musician and wanted to implement a full page slide show, video and some roll over effects on my website. Unfortunately I am not a web designer and have very limited skills when it comes to writing HTML codes or scripts. (I needed a program that was user friendly for someone like myself.) While doing a search I came across Cincopa, which seemed to offer everything I was looking for. I signed up and with in 30 minutes I had a working full page slide show and some videos on my website. This is by far the easiest web software I've used. Simply upload photos / videos and drop and drag into a gallery of your choice. Cincopa has many templates to choose from each with it's own unique look. The next step was to just save your gallery and it automatically creates an html code. You just copy and paste the code into the header of your website. (Seamless Integration) Cincopa has been a life saver and I now have a website that has all the features you'd expect to see on a website costing thousands!
- Seamless integration
- User friendly
- Great templates to choose from
- More templates

Perfect Image Galleries
We use Cincopa to store and display image galleries on our website. This helps us to advertise events sponsored by the department and promote the impression that it is a social, inviting place to work (which is vital to the recruitment of qualified faculty and staff). As de facto head of marketing, I constantly struggle to create an appealing website within the confines of our academic institution's content management system. Cincopa allows me to easily create a fun, interactive experience for our website visitors.
- Easily upload images and captions
- Customize gallery types and viewing options
- The display on any website
- Lacking ability to combine and navigate through albums

Our company uses CINCOPA on the website to view multimedia content in an agile, light and efficient way. It is very simple to implement and allows us great versatility and fast integrate different graphic content. Additionally, it allows us to obtain a better SEO through keywords and descriptions of each gallery.
- Responsive galleries easy to embed
- Automatic and efficient SEO
- Upload photos by email very easily
- The only drawback is that if you have the free account the monthly traffic is scarce. Everything else in cincopa is great.

Increasing The Productivity of Staff With Cincopa
We are using Cincopa to supplement a content management system required for use by a business partner that isn't very robust in terms of features it offers. The CMS we are using offers specific marketing features but does not include anything to support rotating banner images. Cincopa fills a huge void with us being able to take existing and new images and implement them along with messaging into our organization's website.
- Cincopa provides an easy to use interface that allows or efficient creation of projects.
- Cincopa interacts with a variety of content management systems including the two primary systems my organization uses and allows smooth transition from creation to implementation.
- Cincopa allows for the creation of multiple projects with varying styles to fit our specific needs.
- Cincopa offers a few different styles of transition and presentation but I would like to see more.
- The creation of projects flows fairly well from design to viewing a preliminary snapshot, but I would like to see an easier way to have an updated view of my project in process.
- I would appreciate a library of sample images to choose from with a basic subscription.

We use Cincopa on different websites. We wanted an easy way for our clients to be able to use different photos galleries on their websites and be able to maintain them on their own. I have used different programs for this before but find that Cincopa is very easy for people to use and understand.
- Very easy to learn and figure out.
- They already have templates to use.
- You can use images and videos.
- I don't have anything negative to say. I really like the product.

Great Photo Gallery Website Plugin
I use Cincopa to embed photo galleries on client websites.
- Back-end system is intuitive making it easy to create and manage multiple galleries.
- There's plenty of flexibility on the design making it easy to create an attractive and cohesive gallery to embed in any website.
- Photos can be added via email which is a really convenient and efficient way to keep the content updated.
- I haven't experienced any limitations with Cincopa, at least not for my current needs.
