Image hosting sites

DISCLAIMER: I don't know which are free and which charge a fee; which are "good" and easy to use and which are a headache. The following list is from looking at Photo Only posts and the URLs of the images. There are others.
.
The old standard that works for many is www.imagecoast.com
Many are using i.ibb.co
Others:  
i.postimg.cc
cuties-tools.com
tumblr.com
picturetrail.com
.
Some sites might have FREE accounts and upgrades to paid accounts. Keep in mind any limits on the free accounts: storage limits (enough for 3 photos or 300 photos?); monthly bandwidth limits (if your pics are popular and people are accessing the servers a LOT, you might get cut off after just a few days - people will get errors ("pic not available") instead of your pic for the rest of the month; etc.. Not to worry, if you ARE popular, you'll be able to afford an upgrade to greater storage and bandwidth!
.
Don't forget about watermarking your pics!

If you have more Qs, post away!

Hi Ladies and gentlemen  
 I am hoping y'all can help me.  
 I am still trying to find a site that is free since I am very discreet where I can convert my pics to a url to post, this site since it only accepts  gif,jpg,bmp,png  
   
 Any suggestions?  
 TIA

Hi SIr
Thank you so much for the information.
I am very low volume and UTR...this too is my hobby ;)
May I ask you for suggestions on how to water mark my pics?
My pics are not professionally taken they are untouched which I prefer.
Have a great day!
Be well and safe.

Start by searching Newbie for "watermark" or "watermarking" and read about some of the issues.  How big. What it should say (name? phone? ...?). Where - across legs? torso? face? Etc.
.
Some of the hosting sites add THEIR own watermark to every pic, e.g., "imagecoast . com" You can pay extra to keep their WM off of your pics.  
.
You can add your own WM to your photos using your preferred photo editing software. Photoshop, etc.. Read the help files. Save your ORIGINAL files and only do your editing work on copies.  It is also how you can blur your face or paste a flower over your face.

When posting photos here on the photo only board ( should you decide to) those photo posts can't have any contact info. You would not be able to use photos you watermarked with your number or any contact info.

I thought that watermarking was a "trick" to bypass the "no contact info" restriction. Did they tighten up the rules on that?

I don't know about them allowing it in water marks or tightening up on it. The posting guidelines in the Message Board Policies for the photo only board still say no contact information allowed. The photographers water mark, provider's name or hosting site is allowed on photo.
