ImageShack replacement


Question

imageshack used to be good, go there, upload, grab url to image.

but now they made it all javascript based so it's a hassle to use it now

can you suggest a good replacement that's just as reliable, relatively large (i want the obscurity of lots of people uploading to it), allows same or bigger file sizes, and doesn't require javascript for basic upload and copy direct link to image??

thanks!

I'm not too familiar with ImageShack, so I'm sorry if this is wrong, but doesn't the old version which they are still fully supporting (at the moment) work how you wish (how it used to)?

I don't know how long they will be supporting this and I know this wouldn't be perfect for the long term, but I'm hoping it might help you until you can find a replacement you prefer :)

Also, I'd recommend Photobucket too (Y)

I recommend Flickr. They have more than one method of uploading, respectively. The photos can also be licensed by Creative Commons. Lastly, you can share photos anywhere, and can even join group sharing -- which is a photo pool and discussion board.

I always use TinyPic. I got tired of using Imageshack as well..
hmm it works (sort of), but it converted my png to jpg

hmm i tried the link it doesn't work either (see above link)

flickr and photobucket, unfortunately, need registration, which defeats the point

thank you guys for trying, but the closest one (tinypic) doesn't seem to be up to par with imageshack =(

Bad idea. You can't link directly to photos with Flickr's terms of service. You need to provide a link to the image's page... Of course you can use it that way, but if they find out, your account will be terminated.

"Do link back to Flickr when you post your Flickr content elsewhere.

The Flickr service makes it possible to post content hosted on Flickr to outside web sites. However, pages on other web sites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr."

I think photobucket was more bandwidth & size upload friendly. All I would do is re-size to keep it under a meg most time. I ended up getting a flickr account since it was not very expensive and now I can do full size photos and decent video clips.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
