IMGboot Features
What is IMGboot?

What image formats are supported?
IMGboot supports traditional web image formats, as well as more advanced image formats, and even flash. This includes images uploaded in jpeg, jpg, gif, png, tif, tiff, swf, swc and bmp format.
What is the maximum file size I can upload to your server?
Images with a larger filesize than the allowed maximum will be rejected. You will find however, that you will never hit this limit because it's huge. Images with larger widths and heights than your free account allows will be automatically resized.
How many images can I upload?
