Upload pictures: The 3 best platforms

Uploading pictures and sharing them on the Internet can often be practical. On the one hand, photographers get valuable feedback, on the other hand, you can access them regardless of location. In this practical tip we present three platforms with which your pictures can make a big impression on the Internet.

Upload images: 500px - a well-known photo platform

• The 500px page - pronouncedly 500 pixels - is a large photo community consisting of amateur and amateur photographers as well as professionals. Here you can share your works, get feedback and get inspiration for new pictures.
• It is also possible to sell your works over 500px. However, the portal keeps 30 percent of the amount. You can learn more about this in this more detailed article.
• You can join a variety of groups on 500px and exchange ideas with other photographers. It also gives you even more feedback on your pictures.
• With a free account you can upload seven pictures per week in unlimited size. Paid accounts start at around 50 euros and offer a variety of features. For example, all upload limits are removed and you get access to various statistics.

Flickr - the social photo network

• Flicker is the photo platform of the Internet giant Yahoo.
• Similar to 500px, you can share, rate, comment on your photos with the world and get feedback. You can also recommend photos to other users on Flickr.
• Unless otherwise stated, as a Flickr member you may also use other users' pictures. If you do not want this, you can specify this when uploading.
• With a free account you get 1 terabyte of storage. A premium account is available for $ 5.99 a month or $ 49.99 a year.

imgbb hosts your pictures

If you don't want to share your pictures on a photo platform, but only need an image host, imgbb is ideal for you.

• At imgbb you can upload your pictures and then get a link that can be used again. So you can embed your pictures in forums or on websites.
• This is ideal if you are running a small website and do not have the appropriate bandwidth and capacity for multiple images. In addition, you can often not upload pictures in forums, but have to link to them.
• The use of imgbb is possible with a free account and is otherwise not subject to any restrictions.
