Photobucket is a comprehensive image hosting service designed to simplify the process of backing up, sharing, and embedding photos across various platforms. It offers a user-friendly interface for uploading and managing photos and videos, with features like auto-optimization to ensure images are displayed optimally on different devices. Users can access their media through both desktop and mobile platforms, making it convenient for personal and group sharing.
One of the key benefits of Photobucket is its compression-free storage, which maintains the original quality of images and videos. The service also provides photo editing tools and allows users to control visibility settings for enhanced privacy. Additionally, Photobucket supports sharing media with others using a simple link, making it easy to collaborate or share content with groups. Overall, Photobucket is well-suited for individuals looking for a straightforward way to manage and share their digital media while ensuring high-quality image preservation.
Photobucket is an American image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community. Photobucket hosts more than 10 billion images from 100 million registered members. Photobucket's headquarters are in Denver, CO. The website was founded in 2003 by Alex Welch and Darren Crystal and received funding from Trinity Ventures. It was acquired by Fox Interactive Media in 2007. In December 2009, Fox's parent company, News Corp, sold Photobucket to Seattle mobile imaging startup Ontela. Ontela then renamed itself Photobucket Inc. and continues to operate as Photobucket.Photobucket is widely used for both personal and business purposes. Links from personal Photobucket accounts are often used for avatars displayed on Internet forums, storage of videos, embedding on blogs, and distribution in social networks. Images hosted on Photobucket are frequently linked to online businesses, online auctions, and classified advertisement websites like eBay and Craigslist.
As of June 30, 2017, Photobucket dropped its free hosting service, and requires a US$99 annual subscription to allow external linking to all hosted images, or a US$399 annual subscription to allow the embedding of images on third-party websites, such as personal blogs and forums. This policy change, enacted with no advance notice, has been highly controversial. As a result, users who previously relied on Photobucket to freely host content embedded on forums, blogs, and websites must either pay the annual subscription (previously there was no charge), or switch to another 3rd party server (many of which are also shutting down or going to pay services; Tinypic, which remained free under Photobucket ownership, was shut down in 2019) and recreate every link (potentially thousands) for every photo previously linked to Photobucket.
