Your average jpeg is well under 10 mb, so most of the time this shouldn't be a problem. Upload limit (the maximum allowed size of uploaded files)Īll these sites have some sort of size limit, with the lowest being 10 mb. All I can tell you is my anti-malware software didn't flag any issues. I have no way to tell if any of these sites were trying to install malware or other nasty stuff. Or just use uBlock, which effectively eliminated all ads for all of these sites. They WERE for porn, though! So if you don't want a big fat porn ad showing up on your screen, maybe avoid those two. The only two sites where I saw big ads were imgbox and redgifs, and actually they were technically 'interstitial' ads, not pop-ups. If you browse these sites using a different browser, its possible you may see more pop-ups than I experienced. Firefox does have its own internal pop-up blocking mechanism, which I did not attempt to disable. But for these tests I turned uBlock off for each site. Normally I browse the web with the uBlock Origin extension, which is really effective at killing pop-ups. I tested all of these sites using desktop firefox. Popups (does it have big annoying pop-up ads?) Some of these sites may be converting animated gif files to mp4 files on the back-end, but none except redgifs allowed direct uploads of native mp4 files, no matter how short. GIF file support seems to be widespread, although the size limits of most of these sites means you will need to keep your gifs small. Although some of them work a little differently from imgur, once you figure it out the basic idea is the same. The good news is, all the sites I tested offered some sort of gallery feature. It can also make it quicker when you want to upload a bunch of images at once. Many people have long used imgur's gallery feature to display sets of images together. Galleries (does it allow pages of multiple images?) In fact it would not do it for me at all. This sucks, because reddit is really inconsistent about displaying thumbnails for redgif links. I could not get a direct link of any kind out of redgif. Expect to have to reverse-engineer one of the 'official' links they give you, or to do some right-clicking, if you really want that direct link. So support for direct links is preferable (this is also known as 'hot linking').įor every site except for redgifs, I was able to track down a direct image link that I could post to reddit. Whereas with direct links you usually get the full image in all its glory. With landing page links, reddit generally puts a small, low-quality thumbnail of the image on the post. Plus, posts with these 'landing page' links are often displayed differently by reddit than posts with direct image links. This is understandable, but also very annoying. I don't worry about privacy because for my email I just give them a gmail account I have created specifically to handle stuff like this! But I know some people feel differently, so I wanted to include this in the table.ĭirect links (does it allow linking directly to the image?)Īlmost all image hosting sites (including imgur since a few years ago) want people that click on links to their site to be directed to a landing page that will show them the image, but also show them ads. Personally, I don't have a problem creating an account if the site is worth the effort. Some hosts allow users to upload content without creating an account. There are of course other image hosts that don't allow NSFW, but I didn't test them.Īnon uploads (does it allow content to be uploaded anonymously?) I was only interested in sites that allow uploads of NSFW content. Column explanationsĪllows nsfw (does it allow NSFW content?) This rules imgbam out as a possible imgur alternative. Note: I tested imagebam too, but it appears that imagebam links are banned sitewide across reddit. If I've gotten anything wrong I apologize. Then I would try to post a link to one of the uploaded images on my sub r/FantasyGirls. I simply visited each site on my desktop browser and tried to upload a few images. The information in this table was compiled after a few hours of testing. And at the end of the post, I'll have a short first impressions review of each of the hosts. After the table, I explain each of the columns. To better compare their advantages and disadvantages, I turned the list into the table you see below. Because of this I decided to compile a list of alternative image hosting sites that allow NSFW content. Hopefully by now most people are aware that imgur is banning all NSFW content on May 15, 2023.
