Copying and pasting images works best on your desktop computer between apps and from one folder to another, but you won’t find too many web apps that allow you to paste images directly to their interface. Most, if not all image hosting services will have you manually upload or drag & drop an image from your desktop. Very few of them would allow you to paste images view the Ctrl+V shortcut that you’re used to, and fewer still extend that functionality to images you might have copied online rather than from your computer. Snaggy is like an image clipboard for the internet that also supports your desktop. It lets you copy and paste images from any website or your computer, and paste it in the app via the Ctrl+V shortcut. Snaggy has a built in editor that will let you crop images, annotate them with text, and draw on them. It uploads the images online to its own server, from where you can then share it using a direct link or one of the many social network buttons. Read More

If you want to use images on your webpage, or an article you are posting on the web, you may need to host it somewhere. If you have your own website, you can upload the image there, but images consume a lot more storage space than text. High storage consumption means that all the hosting space that you have bought for your website can be consumed very fast. Although you can conserve storage space by the uploading images to image sharing platforms, it becomes quite a tedious process when hundreds of images are to be uploaded and shared. Hosting websites, such as Imgur.com, Minus, and ImageShack.us allow users to upload images for free. Imgur, in particular, is an image hosting website that offers account-based, and anonymous image uploading services, but you are required to open the website before you can upload the images. Today, we have a miniscule open source tool for you called ImageUP that allows you to quickly upload images to Imgur directly from your desktop. It remembers the images you have uploaded in the past, and shows all the images in a list, so that you can easily view them and copy their public links for sharing. Read More

Uploading an image is often required to prove your point, for instance, on a forum. Providing an image with your statement allows you to convey your message in a better way, and it makes it easier for the reader to understand what you are trying to say. So, it is better for both the author and the reader to communicate when there are images involved. However, including images require you to first upload them, and a lot of websites and forums don’t allow you to directly upload images on their servers. You have to upload the desired photo onto a hosting service and then provide its link along with your text. Websites such as 9Gag, Reddit and Digg don’t host the images posted by users on their own servers. That’s why most users upload images to online image hosting websites, such as Imgur.com, Minus, ImageShack.us etc. Imgur is an image hosting & sharing website that offers both account-based, as well as anonymous image uploading services. Today, we have a tool for you called Hyperdesktop that allows you to quickly upload images to Imgur and create a URL, allowing you to share it across the internet with other people. Read More
