Overall, the software is simple to use and easy to learn. It's a great resource to budding photographers in my opinion.

Pros

Photobucket has been around forever and has always been my go to for image and photo management since the early 2000s. The ease of use, value for money, and asset management features have been great all these years.

Cons

I dislike that it sort of fell out of use after Instagram came up. I would recommend it to amateur photographers who need a place to dump photos while on a hike or shoot.

Pros

The only good perk about this app was the free storage for photos and videos. That was years ago, however.

Cons

Oh boy, where to begin. First off, if you were a user about a decade ago you were thrilled at the chance to have free storage for photos and videos. Downside of the app was that every backup it would backup all your photos again and you’d have so many duplicates. Now if you want to access any photos you had stored on an account you have to pay or they’ll allow a 7 day trial to download your photos and videos… individually. Each one has to be done one by one and for someone who has them stored and was in need of the storage that is a severely long time consuming and near impossible task. This site and app just sucks now

Photobucket was probably the top image hosting site for a long time but they really screwed their users over by requiring them to pay ridiculous fees ($400!) to access their own photos and thus was the Photobucket heist and mass exodus of 2017. It's a c;assic sample of greed and failure.

Pros

Easy navigation to upload pictures and get link codes to post on forums or social media. Storage limits seemed to not be an issue.

Cons

Everything else. Data breaches, extortion for use of your own photos, no way to retrieve your photos or import them to another platform

I still have some of my old photos there but I rarely use it anymore. It needs to be updated and rebooted with a fresh makeover.

Pros

Photobucket was my go to for photo-sharing back in the day. I was able to share and embed so much.

Cons

Unfortunately, Photobucket started charging outrageous prices and everyone moved on.

I was once a huge supporter and user of Photobucket. Their price was too costly for mere picture hosting though and I switched. Sadly I had embedded the pictures on many sites and it was a pain to replace them.

Pros

I loved the ease of upload and free ability to share across multiple platforms.

Cons

When they started charging and hold pictures basically as ransom, I was out. There are plenty of free sites that still do the same thing.
