Why I Love Photobucket

Photo Sharing On Photobucket Is Fun, Easy and Creatively Intense

All photo sharing sites have their own unique features, but also there are a lot indistinctive qualities. How each site is put together and the options they provide make a huge difference in how easy or adventurous your experience will be.

On Photobucket, it's easy to get started immediately after registering. The very first window is where to start building albums and uploading images. The site has made these basic steps convenient and straightforward, without having to refer to instructions to figure it out.

After uploading a set of images to a Photobucket account, creating interesting ways to show them off is the next challenge. Rather than having a static display of photos, they can be turned into an impressive slide show or special features can be added to give a little flair to the shots.

Simply click over to the remix page and choose to add text or stickers, borders, transitions and even music.

-- Click the add text or stickers, and pick from an amazing selection of images and shapes in all colors and characters: light bulbs, sunglasses, teddy bears, baby bottles, holiday symbols, multi-color balloons, animals, and hearts, are just some of the creative elements to be added.

-- Add a border from one of the many colorful and creative images that Photobucket supplies for your use.

-- Add music to suit any listener. Choose from blues, classic, country, rock, jazz, hip hop, gospel, rhythm and special holiday music, among others.

-- Transitions can add a dramatic effect to your photo slide shows on Photobucket. Options include rainbow, flare, circle, wipe, pixel, fade, passion and a few creative methods of transitioning from one photo to the next.

In the same window, drag and drop each of your photos onto a panel in the order you want them to appear.

When done working with the images and happy with the selections and arrangements, simply hit the publish button to save the changes.

I love Photobucket for the slide show feature. The slide show comes complete with special effects. On the left are the uploaded images, and on the right is a view of how the photos look with each special effect.

Add a candle, create a collage, add a beautiful decorative frame, or include a shamrock or hearts. The photos can also appear before a sound stage or burning even flames!

Photobucket makes it easy to be fantastically creative, whether using still photos or videos of your latest adventure.
