Imgur: Image Hosting


Imgur is an online image hosting service that allows you to easily upload a picture and share it with your family or friends, post it on a website, or embed it in your blog. Share and host your images in seconds! Imgur offers free image hosting to millions of users a day, serving over two terabytes of images daily.

JPEG, GIF, PNG, APNG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XCF (GIMP) files are supported. (Please note that the TIFF, BMP, PDF and XCF formats will be converted to PNG on upload).

It is popular. One day's stats:
Images Uploaded: 27,473. Image Views: 33,832,662.

The service was created as a response to the usability problems encountered in similar services, which the creator describes as "bloated, confusing and annoying".

There is even an image uploader addon for Firefox that lets you upload any image found on the web directly to imgur.com, with a simple right-mouse click. Just move your mouse on the image, select "upload image on imgur" and there you go! The URL of the newly uploaded image is automatically copied in the clipboard.

There's no way to search for what other people are uploading, which makes everything you upload private. You choose what to make public by sharing the links to the images. Imgur is just a simple way for you to get pictures on the Internet as quickly as possible.

Some of the public pictures show in a browsable gallery and can be downloaded.
