Picasa?

I just tried it out, that one works pretty well (finally, something that doesn't compress my PNG files into pixelated mush!), although the URL is somewhat lengthy to use...


I'll take a look at it Dropbox later (*is feeling too tired to sign up on websites*). If it keeps my PNG images intact and doesn't use a lengthy URL, then I'll switch over to Dropbox.  smile

Ah you might be slightly let down by lengthy URLs, but they're not THAT bad.

Edit: a quick search here shows that Dropbox.com can be reduced to db.tt with shorter URLs.

Hmm... seems like the URL shortener is mostly for file access, though, not necessarily shortening the URL of the image.

I think I'll keep using Picasa for my images since I already have a Google account, but I think I'll also use Dropbox for other stuff (seems quite handy as a place for file storage).  smile

it is really useful, I use it to host two web sites, many of my school assignments, etc. My english teacher says not to, with the claim "what if the internet goes out," but if the internet goes out there will be riots in the streets and there would be bigger issues than the assignment being overdue.  tongue  Also, if the internet went out, how could I connect to the printer?

Re: Good image hosting site?

Have you tried imgur? It is quick, high bandwidth, low (maybe no? I am not sure) compression, image hosting. Your images will not be taken if they receive at least 1 view every 6 months.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

imgur seems to use shorter links. I think I'll switch over to imgur.  smile

I use imgpaste.com. Though there are no management capabilities, it is really easy and quick to use, needs no sign-up, and gives tiny urls you can store in a txt file. And retains image quality. My only problem with it is the url returned doesn't include the http://www. prefix, so I have to add it manually.

So do I. And I started using it when it had 18 registered members and about 100 images uploaded  big_smile

Re: Good image hosting site?

I'm a imgur fan

TIP: the API images can be shortened using bit.ly, tinyurl, etc.

Re: Good image hosting site?

Do you still need help? If you have a Mac, there’s an app you can download called “CloudApp” and it does everything you seem to need it to.  smile

It’s quick, and relatively short urls, it doesn’t compress, and you can manage your photos.

Re: Good image hosting site?

I'm suprised no-one has said this.
Imageshack.us (It's freemium)
It doesn't convert file types, but it won't host animated gifs without a premium.
It rhymes! Nooooo!

BTW, sorry for being an idiot ^_^

This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

SeptimusHeap suggested it before. It didn't work for me since it compressed some of my PNG files.

Re: Good image hosting site?

Huh, This is one of those rare moments where you make a topic. I think I can help.

Try ImageShack. There's also FreeImageHosting.

I Don't like PhotoBucket so much, but for some reason, I Use it a LOT For putting pictures on the forums.  hmm

yikes

That’s no good, then. Because CloudApp is perfect.

What I’m trying to say is, get a Mac.
