Image sharing

  • https://imgur.com/register
    • https://uploadimgur.com/ No sign up is needed. UploadImgur.com describes itself as a service that “uploads images directly to Imgur’s servers,” acting as a front-end for uploading to Imgur. Their privacy policy states they “do not store your images on our servers; they are immediately transferred to Imgur.” It looks more like a third-party tool or wrapper/interface built around Imgur’s upload API.
  • https://postimages.org/. We do not impose strict limits on our users.
    • Sign up by entering an email. A password will be given in an email.
    • Support a URL upload (imgur.com does not)
    • Do not support SVG. For SVG, use a free SVG to PNG tool like Freeconvert or Canva.
