If 500GB is the “getting serious” tier, 1TB is the “this is my business” tier. It’s where a full season of weddings, or a serious personal archive, stops being a squeeze. Here’s how far a terabyte really goes, what it costs, and how Snaptide makes it count.
How many photos fit in 1TB?
Same rule of thumb as 500GB, doubled. With full-resolution files, that’s a big number of JPEGs and a still-respectable number of RAWs — but the real win is being able to stop thinking about it.
- ~120,000–200,000 JPEGs at 5–8MB each.
- ~25,000–50,000 RAW files at 20–40MB each.
- Or a couple of busy seasons — dozens of events, portraits and archive.
What a terabyte costs in 2026

Snaptide figure is a rough conversion of its INR plan (≈₹84 = $1); competitor prices verified on their own pages.
Why 1TB on Snaptide is worth it
A terabyte on its own is just space. Snaptide turns it into a working library: full-resolution files you can publish to a private gallery, hand people a QR code at an event, and let each guest see only their own photos — then let them download or buy. That’s the part a storage-only plan can’t touch.
- Full-res delivery — the actual files, not previews.
- Per-guest privacy via AI face recognition.
- White-label galleries under your brand.
- Sell straight from the album with no platform commission.
