Want to post an image to a blog or website for sharing in a hurry? AllYouCanUpload.com is open 24/7/365, with no registration needed

There are many services that will house your online pictures that are free or of some low cost. Sometimes one might not choose to use them, however, needing a fast, right-now way to do it, or have to deal with limits.

Webshots (www.webshots.com), a leading online photo-sharing community, has debuted a new, free uploading service: AllYouCanUpload.com (http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/). This service is as close to free and unfettered as can be: There’s no registration required, and no limit on the size of the images you can upload, and you can upload up to 10 images at a time.

The service is an answer to the evolving needs of bloggers, web media mavens, eBay auctioneers, and anyone who wants to display whatever you have, right now, with the absolute minimum of hassle. As James Park, Director of Product Development at Webshots, said in a recent press release:

Webshots understands the variable needs of photo uploaders and is providing AllYouCanUpload.com as an answer to those seeking a tool for fast, easy, free uploads

I gave it a shot myself and was quite pleased with the quick and straightforward operation of the site. Cleanly designed, the entire operation of the upload can be intimated from the home page. Browse your drive, select the image, choose resizing (if any–a range of sizes are available, or none) and click Upload. That’s it. The very next thing that springs up in your browser is a list of six links to the now-hosted image which can be copied and pasted, three to thumbnail versions and three to the original image, tailored for blogs/websites, message boards, and email/IM applications. Just copy and paste it (replacing the brackets as appropriate).

Simple, Fast, Powerful

This is a real “right-now” application; go there, use it, you’re done, and your image is hosted, just like that. If you don’t want to bother with registering and learning a given interface, it couldn’t be simpler.

  1. Truth be told I’m actually quite disappointed in this. I was recently involved in the development of http://imgfly.com and I believe that on the whole it trumps Webshots offerings in both process and design. I’m also surprised at the disappointing design of their new site, they recently commissioned several designers (including myself) to provide visual direction for the webshots site, but haven’t done so on this new site.

  2. I just did indeed give imgfly.com a go and it is quite nice.

    From my end-user perspective there are some differences in approach but its nothing that can’t be learned intutively, just as with AllYouCanUpload.com.

    Also, I found that the designs of both appealed to me for different reasons. I liked the spareness of AYCU, and I enjoyed the unified design approach to imgfly.

    I’d encourage people to try both and use what works for them. They both offer a great free and unfettered service whose time may have come.
