Photobucket vs. PosterMyWall

Photobucket used to be great in the late 2000s to early 2010s. Even free account holders could enjoy many of its features and quickly and easily share photos. However, these days there are so many better alternatives, while Photobucket's feature set has been limited to premium and higher-tier accounts. Cloud storage providers now offer generous bandwidth caps, so offloading media is a thing of the past - even for the most budget-conscious freelancers. Photo-specific features provided by these service providers are constantly improving. [...] As time goes on, the list of reasons that used to differentiate Photobucket grows thin given their [in my experience,] shady past in holding photos hostage without a premium plan, I can no longer recommend this service. Price-wise, only their unlimited plan is worth considering since, for capped storage plans, the usual suspects (Apple iCloud, Google Photos, Amazon Prime) have them beat. Likewise, Photobucket's built-in image editor is very convenient for making basic changes without having to fire up a separate photo editor

PosterMyWall makes my job as a marketing director easier. It is great for creating social media graphics on the fly, for last-minute invitation requests, posters, flyers, and social media short videos. The background remover is amazing and super easy to use. It takes less than 30 seconds to remove a photo background vs other software that can take half an hour.

It’s a brilliant program.

[I] also had an ImageEvent premium account, and it was far easier to manage images in Photobucket. ImageEvent's UI is very dated, and its feature set has largely remained stagnant. Photobucket has evolved over the past decade and offers a clean enough user interface to quickly accomplish what needs to be done.

The system makes it easy to sample without having to pay any subscription fees, I've used the system for quite some time before I could pay for the services (I love the fact that it doesn't limit you for as long as you go by) also the interface makes it so easy to use

• The peace of mind is priceless. Time is money and I spend a lot of time stressing over accidentally losing files. This helps.
• I no longer have to use multiple services to send files to clients. It's more specifically designed for photos rather than documents of all types
• I want the positive experience for clients to continue from beginning to end and I like that this system is simple for them to use as well.

• Through the creation of flyers, it allows customers to be more informed.
• Flyers are usually straight to the point which and grabs customers attention.
