Photobucket Reviews in January 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Do people understand business have to make a profit??

Honestly every single bad review here is about they charging a subscription. Why do people expect the company who needs to make a profit and pay their employees to allow them to use it for free? Do they complain about being charged for electricity and Netflix? Do THEY work for free? Are people that stupid?? "Oh it's only pictures" then keep them on your computer, d'oh. Photobucket is a decent service, they really effed up a few years ago demanding way too much money for the service but I ...

I have to admit that the only thing…

I have to admit that the only thing that keeps me tied to Photobucket is the free html code that you can put on your website which turns it into a slideshow. No one offers that service freely. But I am ready to jump ship at the slightest breeze. Photobucket is a graveyard of cringey pop up ads with clickbait articles, sex infused ads fill the screen. Photobucket is like that bad boyfriend who swears he will change, but then continues to abuse the significant other. They promise that they ...

It is a SCAM website ! be very careful!!

I made a free account in 2007 and back then I was allowwd to upload photos until I reached the 2GB limit. I used only 780 MB. For years, the service was free. One month ago, I wanted to log in to view old pictures and it asked me $5 subscription as a last warning or all content will be deleted. I paid the money and I saved my pictures elsewhere. I then wanted to delete my account but I could not. This month, $5 were automatically talen from my bank account through paypal. I do not wish to ...

stay well away from this company

stay well away from this company. allow free uploads, then lock you out behind a pay wall. should be illegal. certainly immoral if you've backed up photos here. stay well away. awfull company

Bs company this

BS company this. I signed up with them probably like 15 years ago. Did nothing wrong. I uploaded pics, because i wanted to upload them to different forums. No problems then. Now, is a different story. For years already they are sending me emails giving me three choices, pay 5$ a month or 60 per year. OR WE WILL CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT! Well, i dont want to pay for free stuff so the first few times i ignored them and thought fine, cancel my account. But they dont. They just keep sending me black ...

Disloyal to Long Time Customers

I used Photobucket for many years and never went over storage. Now, they're demanding I pay or they restrict access to my own photos. If you don't want to let me upload additional photos, I get it. But restricting me access like this is just greedy and disloyal.

Not the brightest candles on the cake.

Once upon a time (April 2021) I decided to try out Photobucket. I uploaded 2 or 3 pictures to test the waters, as there was a "Free plan" for 250 images or 2.5 GB worth of photos. Seems to work - something for the future, I suppose. Fast forward.Today is the 23rd of November 2021 and photobucket informs me via eMail, that "Your photos may be subject to deletion. Verify & secure your account today." and "If you take no action, your account will be restricted for your protection." Sounds ...

Cancellation was easy once I found the manage my account link

For the people who receive the alleged warning message about using bandwidth without paying for it, if you look towards the bottom of the bottom of the somewhat glaring message you will see tiny print stating something like "Manage Your Account" if I remember right. To be safe I went directly to Photobucket and logged in to my account. I then removed all my images and contacted Photobucket about canceling my account.The cancellation process was not difficult. I had to send an email ...
