What is image hosting
Image hosting is a way for you to manage your own picture files on our server so that they can be read by anyone on the internet. One excellent use of this capability is adding pictures to your online auctions.

Why don't I just use eBay's  image hosting?
eBay provides the first image free, but then will charge you $.15 for each additional image you include. If you are using three images that is an additional $.30 you are paying just to list a few extra images. On top of this, eBay will compress your image in size and quality and many times the details of the image are not even viewable after this.

Do you resize my pictures and make them smaller or lower the quality?
FotoHost.com does not change your images in any way. The image you upload is the image that will be included in your eBay auctions, this means you will always have good quality images in your auctions.  While viewing your images using our advanced control panel your images may look distorted, just click on the image and a new window will open with your actual image.

Which image format can I upload

We support .jpg (jpeg) and .gif images. If your image is in another format you will need to convert it to 'jpg' or 'gif' format. You can download lots of powerful graphic conversion tools at www.download.com. Top


How do I upload an image
It's easy to upload images using our browser based uploading system. In the image hosting control panel simply go to the "Upload Images" section, you will see 5 upload file boxes. Click the 'Browse' button to select your image file, then click the 'upload' button. Your images are now on the Internet. Top


Do you rename my image
We don't rename your image files.  You will see the files names exactly as they appear on your computer. Top


Can I delete an image
Go to 'My Web Pages', simply click delete button on the right side of image table. Remember this action cannot Undo! Top


My image space is full, what should I do
You have two options.   The first is to delete files in your image library, this will free up space which will allow you to upload more images.  The second is to upgrade your account.  Go to 'Upgrade Package' this will allow you to upgrade your account to allow for more space and more images to be uploaded.Top


How to reduce my image file size but keep still clear
There is no reason for bidder or visitor to wait a long time to display an image. The larger the image size is, the longer it takes to show in your auction.  A fast-download but still clear image is very import to attract and keep your customer.Top

Here are some tips for reducing your image file size:
1. Keep reducing jpg image compression to an acceptable result. (80 normally)
2. Keep reducing gif image color quantity to an acceptable result. (64 normally)


Do you host adult images
We do NOT host any type of adult or child pornography. Top

Our image administrator checks the images daily for content. Any adult image found will be removed immediately without notification to the user. Top


Do you offer FTP or just browser based uploading
FotoHost.com does offer FTP image uploading. Although the  majority of our users prefer browser based uploading due to it's simplicity and ease of use, some auction software users need to have FTP access to upload pictures.. Top
