The Plugin Site is located in Nuremberg, Germany, and develops graphics, video and web software. We created the applications like Plugin Commander and HTML Shrinker, plugins like Plugin Galaxy, HyperTyle, ColorWasher, FocalBlade and LightMachine as well as image collections like Edge & Frame Galaxy and Photo Galaxy. We also released several freeware products like Harry's Filters and PhotoFreebies. We co-produced Alpha Magic with Pinnacle Systems and currently co-develop FilterMeister with AFH Systems.

The Plugin Site is not only developing software, but also offers web content about Photoshop-compatible plugins. Our web site offers dozens of software reviews, features the most complete directory of Photoshop plugins, operates a large discussion board as well as search engine and conducts popular graphics contests. We also publish The Plugin Newsletter, which is read by more than 100,000 people worldwide. We also write articles for Graphics.com, the Digital Photography Techniques Magazine and the Digital Photo Effects Magazine. With more than 300,000 monthly visitors our web site is the most popular web site about Photoshop plugins according to Alexa.com.
