Is there an app that allows you to just select pictures then it converts them into URL or do you have use something like photobucket that requires you to create an account then upload them, then allows you to convert them?

I'm just not big on all this login data collection bullshite. Trying to avoid it as much as possible. Was also hoping for a simple method.

Imgur.com? Think that is what you are asking

Yea bro, 10 years ago I did create an account. I also came to the Tech Board instead of the OT Lounge to avoid smartass comments and get legit help.



mctiger: yea, I'm familiar with websites like that. Was looking more for a camera type app that just provides the URL for selected pictures.

I get the impression that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the internet works. A picture doesn't have a URL until you put it on a website somewhere.

No, I understand how it works. I do not keep up with current technological advancements, so I wasn't sure if there was an app that did this without having to create an account every time I need to retrieve a picture URL.

See, you are still phrasing things in a way that tells me you don't quite get what's happening.

Why do you think you have to create an account "every time" you need to "retrieve" a URL?

I thought there might be a program that converts it without having an account and I'm guessing there is not one. I don't need the picture to be saved or anything like that. Sometimes I need a URL quick and I just thought there might be a quicker process than using a site. That's all!

Look, photos are not "converted" to a URL. A URL points to a photo, which means it must be saved somewhere that is accessible on the internet if you want that URL to actually point to the intended photo.

I don't think it gets much quicker or easier than imgur.
