We exist in a constantly seething sea of content. 1.4 billion photos were taken in 2021 and around 1.6 billion buttons will be pressed this year. Where is the best place to share photos?
In 2021, the total number of stored photos, from those on smartphones to those in the cloud to those on PCs, reached a colossal 8.3 trillion. To put that into perspective, if you took a single photo every second, it would take almost 32,000 years to get to a trillion photos.

Every day more than 95 million photos are posted on Instagram and more than 300 million photos are uploaded across all platforms. Deciding when and where to bring our own work into this limitless space is as important as it is frustrating.

You may be reading this on a phone capable of taking photos that your grandparents thought were impossible in terms of quality and detail. You can photograph whatever you want. Not all photographers are created equal and not all photos taken are meant to make it out of your smartphone gallery. We’ve compiled a list of popular photo-sharing sites, each with unique strengths, drawbacks and areas of interest. We’d ...
... like to introduce you to the display cases and hopefully identify the ones that are right for you.

You won’t find Instagram on this list because the company says it’s not a photo-sharing service. Instagram will soon be entirely dedicated to videos and shopping.

Behance: For photographers looking for a more creative social network and hoping to showcase a specific set of photos, Behance is worth checking out. The site is free and there is no limit to the number of projects or images you can share.

Flickr: There is no serious online photo sharing site with name recognition, picker tools, or fluid interface.

Google Photos: Google Photos was originally developed as a secure online backup for your photos, but over time the service has matured and offers robust sharing features.

Photobucket: The name Photobucket may be as old as Flickr, but its reputation lags behind its contemporaries. Much of the gap between the two comes down to the performance of free subscribers. It’s no secret that, as a free service, Photobucket can be annoying thanks to an overabundance of annoying ads and that the site’s 250 photo limit is frankly weak compared to the competition.

VSCO: For casual users and even some professionals who like to use their phone for exercise or just showing off, VSCO is unparalleled. From nice presets to editing features that adjust more precisely than expected, VSCO shines as a more classic alternative to the Facebook you’re used to.
