The PictureToLink blog: page 3
Practical guides to sharing pictures, making images smaller and keeping your photos private. Every article answers the question in its first paragraph, links to the official documentation it relies on (such as MDN Web Docs or each platform’s help centre), and shows the date we last checked the facts. Compression figures come from files we processed with our own tools. Most guides give the steps for iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, and the tools they point to run in your browser, so you can follow along without installing anything. New articles are added every few days.

- Image Sharing: How to turn a photo into a link and send it anywhere: direct links versus share pages, embedding images in websites and emails, BBCode for forums, and what happens to a link once you have shared it. Every guide explains the steps for phones and computers.
- Image Compression: Making image files smaller without ruining them: how lossy and lossless compression work, how to hit an exact size such as 50 KB or 100 KB, and the fastest way to shrink photos on an iPhone, Android phone, Mac or Windows PC. Figures quoted here come from files we compressed ourselves.
- Image Formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and HEIC explained in plain language: what each format is good at, which one to choose for photos, screenshots or logos, and how resolution, DPI and colour profiles affect the result.
- Privacy & Metadata: What your photos reveal before anyone looks at them: EXIF data, GPS location and camera details, which apps remove them and which do not, and how to share pictures without giving away where you live.
- Platforms & Forums: Size guides and how-tos for the places people actually post pictures: Discord, Reddit, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, eBay, Etsy, Google Docs and more. Each guide links to the platform’s own help page and shows the date we last checked it.
- Hosting & Alternatives: Fair comparisons of free image hosts and compressors, described from each service’s own published terms and limits. PictureToLink is our product; these guides say so and list our limitations too.
