Rosa.Ly: Save Your Favorite Web Images

Rosa.Ly is a web service that allows you to easily save images found on the web. If you happen to like an image found on a particular website while browsing, you can use the service to grab the image and save it on your rosa.ly account. Their bag and tag feature makes collecting images fast and extremely easy to use.

You’ll need to register for an account if you wish to use the service. By the way, Rosa.ly is free and won’t cost you a dime for signing-up. After registration, simply choose from two dead simple methods you want to use to save your images to your Rosa.ly account. You can either install the Firefox extension of simply grab the bookmarklet if you are using a browser other than Firefox. After accomplishing the above mentioned steps, you are now ready to grab images from any website using the tool. Add some tags if you like and save.

The service eliminates the need for you to save the image to your computer only to upload it again on your favorite image host. This is also not a bookmarking site. Rosa.ly copies the image from the website and saves it to your account. You won’t have to worry about losing track of the image if ever the uploader decides to delete the image or if image link expires due to bandwidth issues.

You get to enjoy a 100 Mb of free space to save your favorite images found on the web. You can use the site to save wallpapers, funny images, comic strips and other images that you find to your liking.

Image Exchange: An Alternative Image Host and Photo Sharing Service

Image Exchange provides an alternative service for those who are looking for an image hosting site or photo sharing service. You can use the service in uploading small to medium sized images (up to 2MB in size). It’s a quick and easy way of sharing images without having to register for an account.

In order to share your image(s) through Image Exchange, simply upload your photo or image, enter some tags and provide a deletion code. Once you hit the upload button, you will be prompted to provide them with your email address. This is an entirely optional option that allows them to automatically email you the deletion code for your image.

Images will be stored in Image Exchange for a maximum of 12 months of non-access. This means that if your image(s) has not been viewed for a year, it will automatically be removed from their server.

Entering your email address is entirely optional. We only use it to send you your image address and deletion code. Once these have been sent, your email address is removed from our systems entirely. This is a fully automated process, so none of the staff at Image Exchange will ever be able to see it either.

Fumpr Image Host: No Registration Required

Need an image hosted right away? Try Fumpr. It’s a simple image hosting site which offers nothing more than its description. It hosts images fast with no strings attached. No registration is required. Just upload an image and you will instantly get the embed code, image URL, download link and forum code.

I don’t really see Fumpr to be of much use for hosting images that are posted on blogs and websites. You will have to remember the URL of your image in case you want to get back to it and use it again for another post. If by any chance that you did not get to save the URL or embed code, you’ll have to upload another one. The lack of registration also takes away management options for your hosted images.

This is very useful for quickly sharing temporary images online. Temporary meaning the ones that you do not really want to keep around like a screen shot of an error message that you are trying to fix. You can get instant embed code and forum codes. Fumpr is very useful in forum conversations to quickly post an image online. If you want to quickly share an image from your harddrive, just go to Fumpr, upload and share. That’s it, no more logging in to your Flickr and uploading a photo or image to share it. This is also a great alternative if you want to share images or screen shots which you do not wish to include in your photo collection in Photobucket or Flickr account.
