Alternative Picture Site to Photobucket?

Post by Jackolope » Sun Jan 08, 2017 9:17 pm

Does anyone know of a free alternative to Photobucket? I used to be on Imageshack but they kicked me off when they started making people pay. I really don't like Photobucket because of all the ads. Flickr is full of people who want to steal images. Any recommendations would be helpful.

Thanks :crabbigsmile:

If you're trying to upload them to this site, download the tapatalk app and search for hermit crab association. Photo's are a breeze. I just have to figure out how to post links.

I've seen a few people use facebook! :) And to a lesser extent, tinypic too.
If not, this list may help?

I made a tumblr account just for posting pics. But using it is a bit tedious.

Google photos, just an FYI, once you upload them they consider it their property to use how ever they feel. They even remove your watermarks, which I did not know was possible. The same with Adobe. I actually did see this link before. Thank you though.

Every time I try to open photobucket, even in a private window on Firefox with Adblock turned on, I still get surrounded by junk. I feel like I have to run my anti-virus every time I go on there for pete's sake :angryfire:

Imgur is a free pic service many folks use but, as much as I hate Photobucket and all of those #%&#! ad pages, I still find it the most reliable one.

Photobucket recently has cut back on all the ads, before there use to be loads of popups but since disabling popups it usually comes up with a banner or two near the bottom. :)
Oh, I fould this a while ago but forgot to post... This may help:

Really? have you tried disabling popups? Helps me quite a bit.

Yes. Nothing helps. Not even a private window. And I also have AdBlocker but some get through.
