    I use Imgur, what I like about it is all you have to do is drag the image to the front page and it uploads fairly quickly.

    Well I mostly use imgur because it keeps the quality of an image. For convenience, I may use prnt.sc since I don't have to sign up or anything, but I would usually do that if I'm uploading pictures from my phone since I'm not logged onto imgur from my phone.

    I am not really using any at the moment, but i could pick up Imgur if i am in need for image sharing site. I have mostly lurked around Imgur, but i haven't really used it yet like by having an account there and uploading images.

    Imgur mostly, I don't have much need for it so haven't really looked into different ones. Used Flickr for a while but get fed up with them changing the rules every year, Imgur has been stable and easy ever since. Sometimes I just use onedrive, especially for quick sharing of camera photos or screenshots since I set both to automatically back up to that anyways.

    I use Imgur, mostly to save screenshots I've captured on Lightshot. I copy the image (not the image address) on Lightshot and use Ctrl+V inside the red circle to save the image in either an Imgur album or in the 'all images' section.

    On a PC, ShareX software for screenshots/etc. Automatically uploads images to your website of choice, with some defaults built in. Want everything to go to your Imgur account? It's there. Any decent image sharing site can be configured to work with it, even if it doesn't have out-of-the-box support.

    I used to use Imgur, but have stopped recently because: you can't retain original image quality past a relatively low threshhold, and they are pushing the social super hard which has led to major hits to album usability since I started. Still quick and easy for sharing an image, but definitely not the fantastic image host it used to be.

    Now I use a website that runs off of Chevereto, software for self-hosting an image site. Different sites have different settings enabled, but your images are never resized (which means even your gifs can run up to the max size instead of reencoded to webm/mp4 and given a meaningless url extension of "gifv"). allthepics.net and freeimage.host are two examples of this.
    This still isn't perfect, but it meets my needs better than Imgur does.

    Imgur is a pretty good place to store your screenshots and it's quite easy to add them in there.
