Imgur.com - A Simple Image Sharer

If you ever want to share any image or picture with your friends over the web and you want the whole process to be as painless as possible, then you should keep this site in mind. It announces itself to the world as “The simple image sharer”, and that is a very apt way for transmitting its essence.

That is, the site will let you upload and share any picture in several ways, after carrying out a basic editing process. In actuality, the site is not that dissimilar to others such as ImageShack or PhotoBucket, the one (main) difference being that it keeps everything as simple as it can get, and that there are no ads whatsoever to get in the way.

The files themselves have a limit, namely 2 MB, but that limit can be extended to 3 MB if you make the programmer a donation. Think of it as a sort of registration process in different terms. For its part, supported file types include JPG, PNG and GIF. The images themselves will be stored online for as long as the service is up and running.

“Imgur is an image sharer. It allows you to upload a picture, manipulate it, and share it with your friends, post it on reddit, add it to your blog, email it, etc. Imgur is equivalent to sites such as ImageShack, TinyPic, and PhotoBucket, except that it's much easier to use, faster, without ads, and free.”

If sharing images easily is what you need, then this site will pass the test with flying colors.

How will the site sustain itself without ads? Will donations be enough to keep it going?
