Image hosting websites and or software

So to upload images and have them in blog posts/bulletin posts/profile you need to upload them and link them. As of 17/11/2021 You only get to upload one photo on SpaceHey and that is your profile picture, so you must use an "outside" website to host your images, good thing is there is many to choose from ranging from free to paying ones. All the ones I will list will either be completely free, or free to register with the option to upgrade storage space/features for a price. Pick any one of these that suits your needs :)


I talk about how to insert images onto spacehey in a blog post here (and other basic HTML commands).

Software

  • ShareX (formally known as Pussh) - This program is free to download, no advertisements and I can't seem to find any file size limit but as well as it stores files online (you can have public of private) it does storage them locally on your devices storage. You can select full screen uploads, or cropped or you can simply upload images. (As I was writing this) I've just discovered it can upload videos and music files too!

Online hosting websites

  • Dropbox - 2GB limit free user - upgrades available
  • Google Photos -Β Β 15GB limit free user - upgrades available
  • Imgur - Unlimited - Note:Β The maximum file size for non-animated images is 20MB. PNG files over 5MB will be converted to JPEGs. Non-animated images over 1MB for anonymous uploads and 5MB for account holders will be lossily compressed.
  • Flickr - 1000 photos limit - photo files are limited to 200MB and video files to 1GB.Β 
  • ImageShack -Β 10GB per month upload limit -Β When you activate your free ImageShack account, it begins a 30-day trial of the premium tier automatically.
  • imgbb - Free and unlimited (Thanks to Frickle Pickle)

There are plenty of more but I just listed a few as to not overwhelm people on which one they should pick. If this was any use/helpful feel free to give us some kudo's :)Β 
Also happy to add more suggestions (with credit)

I think this neglects the ease in which a layman can grab a URL or get HTML code to easily embed here. Imgbb or Tinyimg.io are slightly friendlier to a layman.

As someone relatively new to the world of software development, I found this article https://codein.software/blog/blog-product-or-solution.html to be a lifesaver. The author's step-by-step explanation of how to identify the right type of service or solution I need was truly enlightening. It took the guesswork out of the process and helped me focus on my project's specific needs. The examples provided, such as "Services," "Expertise," and "Solutions," made the concepts clear and relatable. I now have a better understanding of what to look for when choosing a developer, and I owe it to this well-written article for guiding me through the decision-making process.
