    Default Why are my pictures smaller than everyone else?

    I've noticed that when I post pictures from Photobucket, they show up a lot smaller than many other peoples pictures posted from Photobucket. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    The process I use is to select the picture on Photobucket, I then click on the "IMG" share link, then paste it in my thread here on DC. the result is this:



    However, I see many other posts where the pictures are a lot bigger. I know it's not the actual size of the photograph. I'm using the largest setting on my camera. It should be a much bigger picture.

    Any ideas?

    A standard Photobucket account offers 10 GB uploads a month with a total storage capacity of 500 MB (capping the image size i.e smaller pics). Photobucket Pro offers nearly the same features, including unlimited uploads and storage for a fee, (able to upload and display larger images with paid feature).

    I think they come out different sizes if you open the pic first, then copy the url.

    If you copy the URL while there are numerous pics on one page, they come out smaller................hope that made sense!

    I was about to make a "size" joke.................but trying to work on "maturity"

    That makes perfect sense. I also know what Photobucket will compress pictures to 800X600 by default.

    Thoroughly disappointed in this.

    That's correct. A free PB account limits the uploads file size to 800x600. Pay a yearly fee and you get the option to upload high resolution images.

    Blowing up a small pic makes it distorted...not the same as uploading a HD pic.

    +1. Photobucket is slow, you have to leave pictures in albums or they go down anywhere they're embedded, have to sign up for it... Imgur is instant, fast, and anonymous. Can't see any reason not to host on it.

    Good to have an account though so you can manage pictures... also I think there's a limit of 200 pictures for a free account? If uploading without an account then there's no limit but I don't think you can delete the pictures afterwards.

    I think it also depends on the size of the original photo. What is your camera set at? I use photobucket, and my pics are huge on here!

    Ok, here's a picture taken with my camera camera. You know one of those things that DOESN'T make phone calls.



    Dammit. Same size. So it's not the camera, it's something to do with Photobucket.



    HAAAAAA!!!!!! Got it!! I found in the Upload Options on Photobucket, my photos were only being uploaded as 640X480. Therefore, they couldn't post any bigger than that. I changed the upload size option to 1024X768, and now I can post them as bigger images.
