How to Create a Link to Send Photos

Uploading a photo to an online photo sharing platform lets you share that image with friends or colleagues without having to own your website. While there are many photo sharing websites on the Internet, Imgur, TinyPic and Photobucket are free and provide you with a shareable link to your uploaded pictures.
