What image host services do you use?
« on: Mon, 24 June 2013, 02:25:11 »
I've been using photobucket but it has a bandwidth limit of 10G a month.
What's a good free website I could use to host images? flickr?

Imgur has a 2mb limit per picture I think.

I use imgur, I used to use flickr but they took away my free pro account. I left them but they knew better since a lot of people starting using other services so now they offer 1TB of space. I might go back to them at a later point in time but for now I am a fan of imgur and the simplicity of it

imgur for reddit. They do have a crappy limit though, and I'll be damned if I'm paying for a otherwise free service.

If you have a server...

I've quite recently switched from Picasa to imgur.

Another imgur user here.

I noticed that a lot of GHers seemed to use it, so I tried, and it Just Works.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I usually just resize and save with lower quality and let the forum host it.

Otherwise I've been using imgur for a while , occasionally I'll use photobucket if imgur isn't co-operating.

Imgur.  If imgur is down, I use min.us.

If you ever use Pixlr (online photoshop), they have a decent one called imm.io, but if the photo isn't viewed for 30 days, it's deleted.

I use minus for most of my GH posts.  I like it because it doesn't really have a cap on file sizes and doesn't reprocess/downrez your files, either - it just serves up full-size/full quality images, and I've never encountered a bandwidth limit for it either.  I also have a flickr pro account, which does a nice job, but I don't really use it for keyboard stuff.

I am on board the imgur bus as well.

Simple, easy to use, and I am used to editing all of the photos so the limitation hasn't presented a problems for me so far. I might go for something else if anything presents itself but for now imgur will work beautifully.

I just uploaded a few images without logging in in imgur. Does this mean imgur allows random uploads of anything??

yup, I think that's how most people use it (i.e. Redditors posting reposts)

I prefer to keep mine in my album?  Account?  Whatever, then I can link back to them if I need to.

Imgur also deletes photos that haven't been viewed in 6 months. Not sure if this applies to albums or not......

I am using Imgur and pretty happy about it. Have not had the issue of them deleting photo's, if that would happen I would switch to another service. One thing I like is that with the app on my phone I can directly upload them to my imgur account, which is handy for both backing up photo's (should really check whether the quality remains the same) and for sharing photos with people online.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
