imgur is a fantastic way to share photos for many reasons. It loads extremely fast, is easy to use, and does not have all the restrictions that some other photo sharing sites have. There is a reason that the picky folks at Reddit use imgur as their go-to place for sharing the latest memes and other awesome photographs.

I've tried almost every photo sharing service on the web, and no matter what, I always find myself coming back to imgur because there just is nothing better. Well if you use Chrome, you can make imgur even better with its Chrome extension.

This awesome extension adds features that dedicated imgur users will absolutely love. Just like imgur itself, the extension is incredibly easy to use. It is packed with convenient features, and is a must-have extension for anyone who loves sharing pictures on the Internet. It makes getting that all important Reddit karma quicker and easier than ever before.

Getting this extension up and running is incredibly easy. You simply need to visit its page on the Chrome Webstore and click "Add to Chrome." It will take a few seconds to install, and you will be ready to start making the most of sharing your photos.

You can also connect the extension to imgur.com through its API. This allows you to make full use of your imgur account through the extension. This way, when you upload a photo to imgur with the extension, it will go to your images folder on your imgur account. You can use the extension without this, but connecting it allows you to make the most of the features imgur offers.

Features

The icon for the extension simply brings you to a webpage where you can execute all of the extension's cool features.

This extension does all kinds cool stuff with imgur that is designed to make your life easier. My personal favorite is the ability to copy and paste images directly to it from your clipboard. This means you can press Print Screen, and paste the screenshot right onto the extension's screen for easy sharing. You can also see an image on the web and copy and paste it to have it uploaded to imgur in an instant. It is, without a doubt, one of the quickest ways I have ever seen to upload pictures.
