Free Places to host your images

Post by ohioyj »

So I know we need some options to host images. I've done a little bit of looking around, and these are two that are free, and it appears that many people tend to use. I will update this list as I find more options.

https://imgbox.com/
  • To post an image from This You will use the BB-Code option.
  • Note on this site, you will have an option at the bottom for thumbnail size, and full size during the share option.
  • See my note / code at the bottom.
https://postimages.org/
  • This has separate options for thumbnails and full size. No links to click. Make sure you choose one of the "for Forums" options.
  • This site sends you a randomly generated password, you can change it in the profile page.
  • See my note / code at the bottom.
These sites make the image a clickable link by default. This is useful if you choose the thumbnail size, as it links back to the full size version. It could make everything load quicker, especially if the image is particularly large. If gives you something like this:

Code: Select all

[url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/tgFPtjyX/afjlogos5.jpg[/img][/url]
However if you don't want if to be a link, just remove the URL junk. All you need is the stuff in the IMG tags. So the above code becomes:

Code: Select all

[img]https://i.postimg.cc/tgFPtjyX/afjlogos5.jpg[/img]
If all that looks foreign to you, might want to glance over the BB Code - Quick Reference Post.
