Best Free Image Hosts (HotLinking allowed, No Bandwidth Limits…)

[...] Free image hosting services http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/free-image-hosting-services/ [...]

Those are very useful links, thanks. Also there are other image hosting services which are paying you when someone views your pictures. But those are very good if you do not want to share your pictures to whole internet.

ImageShack has a 100 MB per hour bandwidth limit.

Personally, I’m a big fan of Fotki. I’ve done a writeup on them here: http://frozenpixels.wordpress.com/backups-part-2/

thanks Bill, I had no idea abt per hour bandwidth limit. Also checked out Fotki, looks good.

http://www.imagepile.net is great too as it has a FireFox extension to easily upload pix.

quick summary for imagepile.net:

* Upload Options: from file or URL
* Max. file size: 3072 KB
* No Bandwidth limits or storage limit
* firefox extension for easier upload

“…image hosting services which are paying you when someone views your pictures”

Wow, that’s sounds interesting, can you post couple of links?

@Bill
thanks, I am checking it out. I was just wondering how much do they pay…

I have searched all over and finally settled on a site that costs me 5 bucks per month. But it meets all my needs so it is worth it since I do post manyh photos. Why this site?
1. grab at least ten pictures at a clip (2) adult photos allowed(3) show exact size you will get along with the code to use (4) offers small, medium, large, very large–different size thumbs to pick from when you upload. I prefer larger photos at my site so this is much better than most other uploaders.
you can try it lots of times, free. then you either subscribe or can no longer use it

@fred lapides
While I agree that some people may wish to upload photos which maybe bigger then 1.5 MB, I think it’s rather inefficient way to share your photos. A page featuring couple of such images will take several seconds to load which is generally quite annoying.

Nice list.:)

But i think you should add http://www.poggu.com

@Michael
Thanks for the link. Although, I find it weird that there are no ‘FAQ’ and ‘Terms & Conditions’ pages. Any thoughts?
And also what about Hotlinking, does it allow that ?

Hey,

I think sipifi.com/images should be added to that list. They have the same service as imageshack and don’t have a limit on bandwidth or anything.

Almost forgot…

They allow hotlinking as well, no restrictions as far as i know.

@ Benny
thanks lots for the link.
I think we got around 20 with this one.

http://www.yourhostedimages.com will offer you the following features even for the FREE Account:

-Your pictures do not get displayed in a public gallery on the homepage of the site and are only shared if you want them to be.
-Can Rotate, resize and rotate images right on the site after uploading

You can add http://www.onedump.com to the list, one of the image hosts i am using mostly

@Jack

Thanks for adding it here. I think it’s the only image host that lets you upload files directly from your cellphone (some restrictions apply) . Nice

I use http://www.photobucket.com all the time, its great. One of my other favorite is http://www.imgstar.com simple & effective for my daily needs.

Those two gets both my thumbs up

@Victor

Thanks for sharing. Photobucket is my top choice as well, however I wish they had released some sort of browser addon to make things faster and more convenient.

I wand Upload images from Mobile

@Sheik

I think Photobucket provides this capability. Some of the others may allow this as well, check them out.

I like each of these services but Photobucket the best because you can send pictures from your cell phone.

Hmm… how about 140+ Image and File sharing websites?

http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/09/list-of-140-file-and-image-sharing.html

I use picnote.com, It’s free, no bandwitch limits, no ads

i prefer tubeimage.com, it have a great interface and easy..

imageshack and tinypic is pretty ok, but i really prefer myimg.info. No signups and lots of functionality, and none of those irritating popups.

I use pixupload.com. I have an account there. They offer 1gig space with UNLIMITED BANDWITH! If you don’t want to signup, you can use their public uploader. The site is clean and refreshing. The control panel is easy to use.

Consider BackupPhoto.com

BackupPhoto.com is a FREE image hosting solution. Registration is not required but registered users will profit from 10GB of personal space for their photos and 30GB Bandwidth per month. Upgrades are available.

TinyPic is the best choose imo from the lists. Really uncensored and uploaded images load very fast.

They also provide direct linking, and no registration required

http://www.imgzip.com - Upload all your Jpeg’s as one ZIP and get link to a web Gallery. Also direct linking and no registration. Unfortunately accepts zip’s that contain .jpg only
