ADVERTISEMENTS

ImgRed is a free online image hosting service that allows users to Embed, Redirect or Link to images from someone else’s website. ImgRed makes it easy to hotlink images without actually hotlinking them, simply by prepending the url to the beginning of whatever you want to hotlink. Hotlinking is when you use the image from one website on another website without copying the image to the second website’s server.

With ImgRed, you can avoid hotlinking images and stealing the original host’s bandwidth. Just Type http://imgred.com/[original_image_url] and the image will always be served from imgred.com instead of the host site.

ImgRed.com lets you simply enter the original URL in your post as you normally would, but with http://imgred.com/ written before the URL. When this is viewed, the image will be copied once to imgred.com, and from then on the image will always be served from imgred.com instead of the host site. Additionally, a thumbnail is automatically generated, which can be accessed by adding http://imgred.com/tn/ before the original URL. This is great, ImgRed save your time in download and upload the image.
