ImageShack is now integrated

I previously posted a Video Tutorial of uploading images to ImageShack. Now, why might you want to upload your pictures and graphics to ImageShack rather than, say, your storage space?

Recall that your storage space is limited to 25 MB by default, even though it can be upgraded to 1 GB.

There is no such limit on files on ImageShack, even though ONE image can only be up to 1.53 MB. But that’s larger than most web graphics; only if you were uploading some seriously large photos would you exceed 1.53 MB.

What’s nice about ImageShack is that you can hotlink directly to the image file. Thus, you won’t be penalized for eating up ImageShack’s bandwidth… and they won’t modify your original image file. This means that you can essentially upload animated GIF’s, PNG’s with alpha transparency, and so on… without losing that stuff, or the optimization that you might have done in ImageReady. ImageShack also doesn’t apply any logos or watermarks to your pictures.

Here are some screenshots of ImageShack integration on PersonalLog: (and the photos are hosted on Flickr)
