Everybody's got images that they value – photos, graphic designs, banners, logos, and infographics.

Not everyone has access to free image storage platforms, partly because they don't know where to find them, and partly because some people do not understand the efficacy of safekeeping their images.

There are cloud storage services that offer other benefits to users for free. And this tutorial was created to bring you details about these free image hosting platforms for your consumption.

Before we go into our top pick for the image hosting platforms, let's see some reasons for using image hosting platforms.

Reasons for Using Image Hosting Platforms

I - Free to Use - The image hosting platforms listed here are all free, except you want some premium services. That's when you'll be required to pay a fee for those extra services you want.

II - Saved on The Cloud - Your images will be saved on cloud storage which ensures those images are kept safe. These cloud storage service providers have multiple backup systems that ensure they don't lose files. Even if one of their servers fails, there are other servers that have your images stored.

III – Free up Space on Your Local Drive - Local storage is always limited either by the size of your computer hard disk drive or your mobile phone storage. And if you keep using these local drives to store pictures, they will get filled up at some time.

Once this happens, you either delete some old files for you to save the new ones, or you purchase bigger storage, so you will be able to accommodate both old and new images.

IV - Available all The Time - When you have your images saved on the cloud, they will be available anytime you need them. There's no such thing as power failure or the cloud storage not reachable.

V - Available Anywhere - Cloud storage also makes it possible to access your images anywhere from any device.

If you saved your photos while on holiday in California, you can always access them when you get back to Sidney, Australia.

VI - Easily Share Your Photos - Some free image hosting providers make it very easy for you to share your photos to others. All you have to do is set the image to "public" and everyone else will be able to access it.

You can also share any image on popular social media networks by simply clicking on a link. Now that we understand the efficacy, let's delve into our top image hosting platforms.

Thank you very much for this great information. I am at a point where I am having difficulty getting images for my post. Some of the images are pricey and I cannot afford to buy at this point. I was able to get some free images at Flickr . I will explore some of the ones you listed.

Hi Israel,

I've used Flickr, Dropbox, and Google Photos for years. I keep practically nothing that I value on any of my computers. It's a cloud-based world! :-)

You are an unbelievable resource here at WA! I can barely keep up reading all your excellent tutorials.

Thanks for all the great info!
