Image Hosting

[poppy]

What sites do people use for image hosting? I have been using TinyPic but now they make you enter a captcha everytime you upload a photo, which is quite annoying. I would also like one that allows you to crop and resize as well. At the moment I have to use one site for image hosting and another for resizing and it ends up quite time consuming (especially when you're always getting the size wrong like me )

I've used Photobucket for years, but I don't know if it resizes or not as it's never occurred to me that it might!

I have limited experience using Photobucket (Janet introduced me to it!) but I know that it resizes and I'm pretty sure it crops too.

 

I often resize pics incorrectly too.

For resizing, if you use Windows XP, check out the PowerToys.. there's one in particular called 'Image Resizer' and it's a really simple way to resize photos on your computer.

There are a few different ones you could use, you could try flickr or imageshack or if you do a lot of image hosting you could get your own cheap web space. then you could upload any size you want, organize how you want etc.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at those, that's really helpful.

I was gonna say I always use photobucket too, just tinypic for images that are random and I don't want to clutter my photobucket albums with them. For resizing, ehh I just use photoshop? Unless you just mean file size resizing and not pic dimensions resizing.

 

Okay, you know how when you say a word too many times it can look funny? I have that with resizing now. Anyway, if it's for making the dimensions of a picture smaller, photoshop works too, and it's not that difficult to use, some of the finer editing stuff can be a , but image resizing is easy.

yes but photoshop is a bit on the pricey side for simple photo editing. May I suggest if that is all someone needs photo editing software that is free they check out the fantastic open source GIMP
