Imgur is an online content hosting site where you can view and share content such as images, GIFs, memes, videos and reviews. You can communicate with other Imgur users by posting public comments or sending private messages, GIFs or emojis. Imgur is available on web browser and mobile app.

Imgur (⫽ˈɪmɪdʒər⫽ IM-ih-jər, stylized as imgur) is an American online image sharing and image hosting service with a focus on social gossip that was founded by Alan Schaaf in 2009. The service has hosted viral images and memes, particularly those posted on Reddit.

Once Imgur opens, you'll see a + button in the middle of the toolbar at the bottom of the home screen. Tap on it to start creating a new post. On the next screen, you'll see the option to take a new picture or video with your camera or upload an image from your device's camera roll.

Hidden: Posts will be hidden by default. They are not searchable within Imgur, and will not appear in Imgur's public gallery or public profile, but each one will still be accessible by going to the post's URL. They cannot receive comments or earn points.

First disadvantage is limit for file size if u want to upload big projects it is not for you. One account can upload only 50 images per hour. If u want to send more u need to change IP. If u want to send 100 photos per hour that will be annoying to change one time per hour your IP address.

Even ignoring p*rnographic images, Imgur can also host other images which may be of a mature nature and unsuitable for children, like images of violence or scary pictures. Plus, Imgur can be a platform for cyberbullying, as users can leave mean comments or make cruel pictures designed to hurt others.

Imgur does not offer a demo on the working of the software on its website page. This is due to the fact that the software is available free of cost and can be accessed by anyone.

Our new Terms of Service will go into effect on May 15, 2023. We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account from our platform as well as nudity, p*rnography, & sexually explicit content.

The platform sees high user engagement, with millions of daily uploads and an average visit duration of over 3 minutes. Primarily US-based, users span a wide age range, but most fall between 18 and 34 years old.

Is it safe to upload images to Imgur? Not necessarily. Imgur does have some privacy settings and allows users to upload anonymously, but other people can still view and access anything you share if they get the link.

Imgur is deleting all images uploaded by anonymous users. Which means most of reddit images from 2009-2016 (when reddit started hosting their own images) will be dead. The digital dark age grows around us.
