YSK alternatives to imgur for uploading your images

We should include Pixelfed here.

I think imgchest.com deserves more recognition. It has a UI that's a lot like old imgur, doesn't compress the hell out of images and the person that runs it seems pretty cool.

(I've also talked to the person who runs postimages, and they seem pretty cool to fwiw.)

It's kind of crazy how these popular services are always insistent on killing themselves off with these horrible changes.

You can just use fediverse (eg. kbin) to upload your image directly, without any of those instances?

Man, I remember when the imagur guy made a post saying hi everyone I made a site we can use for pictures on Reddit. How' long ago was that?

Which one of these alternatives delete the gps/exif data automatically on upload?

Any thoughts about uploading images straight to lemmy.world vs using these sites to host? Is either option vulnerable to takedowns?

Lemme see if this works

I've been looking for a service that uses IPFS to get a more distributed solution in place. Although you need an HTTP proxy for anyone that doesn't have the plugin or use a browser with support built in. There's a service called Pinata, but it only lets you upload 100 files for free

has anyone got hosting sites for uploading videos/GIFs?

Do any of these have the ability to link an album? I often put multiple photos together, and post the that link to my communities.

Do any of them have an iOS app?

Can somebody explain on the purpose of these sites?

The whole time when I was using reddit I would just upload from my gallery to the app, never had to use an image uploader website, it sounds like a pain to use.

Imgur hates my guts anyways. They are based on easily ignitable populism and then its people wonders why everyone acts like they've burnt all their bridges.

How about for videos, OP? Any recommendations other than Streamable?

Is pixelfed a good option for this sort of stuff?

Before anyone mentions 0x0.st or ttm.sh as alternatives, both of them will delete your files within a year of being uploaded so do not use them for anything permanent.

I like that imgur removes exif data, any recommendations that do that too?

I took a look at a few posted and they don't appear to do so.

Yes! Thank you, this fixed my gif post earlier that wouldn’t load from Imgur. Imgbb worked fine for what it is.

I guess save it so that the actual image is rotated, not just via some metadata telling the viewer to do it.

How on earth do I keep my photos from rotating in all of these?

I take a picture on my phone in portrait. I upload it, it's rotated to landscape. I look at the EXIF, pic on my phone says it's rotated 90. If I delete that, it rotates to landscape. What do I need to do to keep it vertical?

If you’re into self hosting, this repository is simple to install and use for sharing images.
