Pict is a free and well designed image hosting service.
Unlike other image hosts which show you ads above, beside and beneath images (and in some cases, even over the image in an overlay), Pict is ad-free. This may not last long, and for the sake of the site, I hope they put up some advertisers (or find another revenue source), but from the view of a user, it is a welcome change.
The site does not require sign up – in fact, they do not even mention the advantages of signing up (eg. the site remembers your uploaded images). It is ridiculously easy to begin hosting images – the home page contains a bunch of squares, clicking on which will give you the file upload box.
Here’s the kicker – you can upload multiple images simultaneously, and everything is done via AJAX, so you do not even have to reload the page. There are options to save the images via email, upload image using a URL and bulk delete your uploaded images.
