10 Popular Free Image and Video Hosting Services
Free Image Hosting Websites are very useful for all kind of internet users and specially for bloggers on low space hostings. Instead of using self hosted images in posts, you can use free image hosting websites to upload your images and save some disk space.
Again it all depends on personal decisions whether to use free hosted images or self hosted images in blog posts. Online video editors and film professionals can benefit greatly from hosting some projects on a third-party site. But if you really want to host all your blog posts images (OR at least some) in free hosting websites, then below are the most popular free image hosting websites.

Photobucket isn’t free. Postimage.org doesn’t exist anymore, it’s now postimg.cc and it’s full of adware.
Saurabh
Pichub.site is one of the best for me. It’s free image hosting website Service that offers unlimited bandwidth picture hosting.
MorrShelton
You may try https://imgcave.com all image types are accepted. It generates numerous codes to easily link to images.

I really don’t know the current state of things, but I lost hundreds of photos free hosted in imageshack.us when they unadvisedly decided to change their policies. Years of work lost forever, no reliability there

As of November 2015, Imageshack is no longer free. Photobucket has become so obnoxiously inundated with ads that it no longer functions unless you pay for their premium service as well. In other words, Photobucket is no longer free either….

Ernie@ Thanks for the addition.

Found a new free Picture hosting website based on Google material design, looks & works perfect for me. PixSheep offering Unlimited space, SSL, Can upload pictures without registration etc https://pixsheep.com
swadesh Parasher
I am currently using https://ImgPile.com simply because it offers better interface and supports SSL by default. 🙂
Also, I would like to report a typo error – It should be Flickr.com, instead of Flicker.com at #6.
Cheers for the great list.

Narendran.M

Chand
Rajesh@ Thanks for adding these 2. The reason why i did not mentioned these and more image hosting websites is to start a discussion. Like you add these 2, similarly other commentators will add more and so on.
Narendran@ You can try imageshack.us that is great.
Narendran.M
nice share dude..
I haven’t tried any of the above mentioned sites.. but now i’m gonna take a chance & btw my rly for the hosting service will be self hosted images. I agree it will save the disk space, one should also consider the loading speed of the images.
A good compilation mate!! 🙂
