Very nice guide, I'm not sure why you have some of the ones there, like the one you gave a 1/10, but not Flickr? In my opinion even my site is better then some of those.

Well I decided against using communities as I wanted to solely compare uploaders. I mainly conducted these tests for my own use and than realized some other people might find it useful as well. The reasons I have some that are low-rated is because I just picked the first 10 uploaders from google and than tested them afterwards. I had no idea how well they'd perform beforehand.

Nice guide!



Interesting. I want to throw this situation out there though.

Say I buy a pro account at flickr, and I upload 300 pics. Then my year runs out and I decide to keep the free account and not pay for another year for a pro account. What happens to the 100 photos?

one way around imageshack's size problem is to resize the image yourself then tell it to not change size. not sure if this was said already if so I am sorry if not well there you go.
another option is to upload them to a free web hosting site and use [img]and[/img] with the exact http you have for the image. no need for makeing an actual site just use it to store photos

Yeah, that last suggestion is a very viable option. Don't know why I haven't thought of it myself actually

Nice guide. I use imageshack, and almost never run into problems, other than it does sometimes go down unexpectedly.
Looking forward to trying out some of the other sites, I'd not heard of any of the 5 at the top.

Check the DPI of the image before and after it's been resized. You're most likely submitting 300 DPI images and they're likely downsizing to 72 DPI, as this is the standard for images on the web.

Is the image of actual decreased noticeable quality?

To be honest, imagehost.org and imgur.com are better than all of these. :/

i use tinypic :|
