TinyPic is a photo and video sharing service, owned and operated by Photobucket.com [1], that allows users to upload, link and share, images and videos on the Internet. The idea is similar to URL shortening in which each uploaded image is given a relatively short internet address. An account is not required to use TinyPic.

Images & Videos
TinyPic allows upload and hosting of JPEG (jpg), png, gif and tiff files. Images that are larger than 1600 pixels (either width or height) are automatically resized to the largest acceptable size while maintaining their original aspect ratio.
Tinypic does not accept standard-definition video files of sizes larger than 500 Megabytes or longer than 15 minutes. Videos longer than 15 minutes are truncated to 15 minutes. They have recently included hi-definition video uploads of 500MB and it limits the time to 5 minutes. Tinypic officially accepts 3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, dv, dvx, flv, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, wmv, xvid and rm digital video file types. [2] Tinypic has recently decided to disallow hosting if the referring site is reddit.com.
