Photo question

[flashback_deals]

How many photos can you fit into 1GB? Just looking for an estimate

I would say lots but still depends on your pixels

It definitely depends on the size and format of the image(s). Bitmap images take a lot of memory, several megabytes depending on the image size, whereas .jpg and .gif formats take up significantly less memory for images of the same size.

As a rough estimate, a 1000 x 1000 pixel .jpg image can be around 250kb - 500kb - taking a median size of 350kb, you could store around 3000 images of that size, or maybe around 220 bitmap images of the same size.

Thanks for that. I am thinking of using Auctiva and sounds like 1 gig for storage place will be plenty

Seems silly to pay for image hosting when you can get it for free elsewhere.

In fact, for $10 per month you might as well just get paid web hosting like I use. I am paying $7 per month for UNLIMITED storage and traffic, plus I have multiple domains, unlimited email accounts, my own webmail, forums, blog, etc etc.
