That's correct.
What is pic8 (PicInfinity)?
This is an image retaining/proxy site. Basically, you upload your image and the site keeps your image alive forever by ensuring that the image has redundant locations that it's uploaded to.
There are thousands of image hosts out there. One of the problems with this is that, if you're trying to avoid the evil practices of image hosts like imgur, you have to deal with the possibility that other image hosts are going to eventually go down (for whatever reason). When this happens, all your images are lost.
Not Anymore
This site exists to fix that. You upload your image, and my site ensures that your image is always alive, even if one of the hosts your image is uploaded to goes down, my site will make sure it's reuploaded on another, living site.
Once you upload a file, you will be given a "Direct Link" to the image. Use that link and you will always get redirected to a working host of your image.
Anyone that concerned about insuring their pics don't get lost should host themselves.
There are plenty of options for this.
- Many ISP's provide some webspace for hosting whatever you like.
- There are many free shell accounts out there that usually provide some webspace.
- You can get an old PC, install Linux/http_server and host from home.
- Spend a little cash and get some webspace, but there's no need to spend money, plenty of free options.
I will never stop saying it: Pic8 is the best image proxy ever!
