Приложение Imgur
Imgur имеет мобильное приложение для пользователей iOS и Android:
Вы можете использовать мобильное приложение Imgur для просмотра сайта и обмена файлами на ходу.
Imgur Ограничения
При загрузке в Imgur поддерживаются следующие форматы файлов: JPEG, PNG, GIF, APNG, TIFF, MP4, MPEG, AVI, WEBM, QuickTime, x-matroska (MKV), x-flv (FLV), x-msvideo, и x-ms-wmv (WMV).
20 МБ — это самый большой размер файла для неанимированных файлов, таких как JPG. PNG размером более 5 МБ будут автоматически преобразованы в JPG, а неанимированные изображения размером более 1 МБ (5 МБ, если вы вошли в систему) сжимаются для уменьшения их размера (но при этом сохраняется то же качество).
GIF and video uploads can be as large as 200 MB and as long as 60 seconds; they’ll be converted to GIFV (with sound removed) to shrink the size if the file exceeds 2 MB.
Every user can only upload 50 images to Imgur every hour. This limitation is set by your IP address, which means that if you were to log in to your same account from a different IP address after uploading 50 pictures, you can upload another 50 under that address.
How to Upload to Imgur
Putting your photos on Imgur is really easy. It can be done from a computer or the mobile app.
-
Select New post at the top of Imgur.
-
Drag and drop the images you want to upload to Imgur. You can instead pick the Choose Photo/Video or Paste image or URL option. Below those are additional upload choices: Meme Gen and Video to Gif.
-
Give the post a title.
-
Optionally edit the image. Hover your mouse of it and use the three-dotted menu to open the editor. You can crop and resize the picture.
-
At this point, there are a few ways to upload and share your photos on Imgur:
- Selecting To Community requires you to log in to your Imgur account or create a new one right now. It will post the images publicly for anyone to see. If you go this route, you’ll need to choose Share to community once you’ve logged in.
- The other upload option is Hidden, which doesn’t require an account but it won’t post the images to the home page for everyone to see. You’ll instead be given a private share link.
- Sharing is also allowed on a per image basis. Whether you are uploading just one or several photos/videos, hover your mouse over the one you want to get a share link for, and select Get share links to find all of those options.
You can also use this page to add tags to your photos to make them easier for people to find. If you’ve uploaded more than one, Rearrange is an option that lets you order the photos in the album however you want them to appear.

Now that your content has been uploaded, share the link wherever you like!

Final Thoughts on Imgur
You’d be right to assume that nearly every image you run into on popular sites like Reddit and social media networks, is hosted on Imgur.
The website is easy to use, doesn’t require an account, supports unlimited uploads and lifelong storage, and supports all the popular image formats…there’s not much to dislike about it. It’s no wonder that it gets billions of post views every month.
We appreciate the fact that you don’t need an account to use Imgur. Now, if you want to have access to editing the file and removing it with ease later on, you should create an account. It’s completely free and only takes a minute.
There are other free online image hosting websites that don’t give out the direct link to an image after it has been uploaded, so that little feature with Imgur is quite a blessing. This is really helpful when sharing pictures with others.
It seems that Imgur has thought of everything when it comes to storing your photos online, so there’s really nothing to complain about.
