Image Uploading App

#1

Post by Revival »

I have an iphone and curious to know what is a good app for uploading images to directly to forums. I found a couple but none of them allowed you to change the size of the image, unless I am missing something. I found one way but it consists of using 2 apps (Photbucket and PicsArt).

Any suggestions please let me know. Thanks.

I'm not an iPhone user but Photobucket works for me. The recent pics of my Rock Lobster were taken from my phone and hosted/posted straight from it.

I use my Motorola Droid for most of my pictures and have them automatically set up to copy to my Google drive. Then I get a message tone when they are uplaoded. I just copy the url from the drive and past it into the message box here. In the past I used tumblr to accomplish the same practice, but the uploads had to be deliberate!

PicsArt would be used to resize the image. If I just use photobucket and post the link in a thread, the pic is gigantic. So I'm trying to find a way to resize it first. This is only for my phone. When I use photobucket/imageshack from my computer, it has options of resizing.

I use the photobucket ipad app. Works well enough but I loose a lot of picture quality and I'm not taking super high res pics.

Ok this is just in case someone else might find this useful someday.

This pic was done from my iphone with PicsArt, resized then saved to photobucket uploaded

This pic was uploaded straight from photobucket. When using just photobucket, you pic automatically is sized this way.

Nice! Do you like the EdgePro? I've been thinking about getting a Wicked Edge. Right now all I have is the Spyderco Sharpmaker.

I don't know about anybody else but I prefer the larger photo. I would stick with that and forget about PicsArt.

The bigger pic might look better on your phone but its way too big when viewed on the computer. I'm always posting knives for trade and sometimes up to 10 photos and no one wants to see that many huge pics!

Photobucket used to work great, and would automatically resize iPhone uploads to an appropriate size with good looking results, but just recently, they did some updates, and the app is now terrible. The resized pics are pixelated and jagged. I've stopped using Photobucket because of this. As I missing some way to avoid the horrible image quality after the auto resizing?

I've been using imgur too, quality is good, but the pictures turn out really huge.

What resolution do you run your computer's monitor at? Mine's at 1920 X 1200 and the small photo looks like a postage stamp to me while the bigger one is a reasonably decent size.

If I'm trading or buying, the pics almost can't be too big or too many.

I use different computers but the images was uploaded from my phone. The small pic was just an example. I like the option of choosing the size of the pic rather than only having 1 huge pic every single time. Some of you prefer the larger pic but I'm sure a lot of people rather see a smaller photo.
