Photobucket API powers NEW applications for self-expression
World's Leading Web Site for Photos and Videos Opens Up to Software Developers
Initial Developers Including Adobe, AOL, FotoFlexer, Intercasting, RockYou, Slide and Snapvine Create New Ways to Illustrate Users’ Lives
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 22, 2008 – Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com), the world's leading standalone photo and video-sharing site, today announced the broad release of the site’s application programming interface (API), which will empower Web developers around the world to build new applications based on Photobucket’s popular digital media sharing technology. The API and supporting materials will be available starting today from the new developer section on the Photobucket site (http://developer.photobucket.com).
The release of the Photobucket API enables developers to give users access to their photos and videos from places beyond Photobucket.com, including other Web sites, Web applications, desktop applications, browser plug-ins, mobile phones, home-entertainment systems, digital photo frames and cameras.
“We are excited to invite a world of talented developers to extend our photo and video platform and tap into the tremendous creativity and passion of our users,” said Alex Welch, president, Photobucket. “Photobucket pioneered the ability for people to link and share photos and videos -- whether on blogs, social networks or auction sites -- and the broad release of our API makes it possible to create entirely new media experiences on the Web and on devices of all kinds.”
Developers can use the API to create applications that will enable users to:
• Securely log into Photobucket accounts
• Create, edit and access albums
• Upload new content to their albums (photos, images and videos)
• Share content from albums via email
• Search through publicly available content on Photobucket
• Access and update metadata (titles, descriptions, tags, etc.)
Photobucket offers creative possibilities for developers of every kind – whether for personal or commercial pursuits. For anyone looking to get started immediately, Photobucket provides a non-commercial API option with open registration. For developers with an approved business plan for their application, Photobucket offers a commercial API opportunity with unlimited traffic and bandwidth. Developers can register for either option at the Photobucket developer site launched today.
Initial developers, including Adobe, AOL, FotoFlexer, Intercasting, RockYou, Slide and Snapvine, will join Photobucket at its booth this week at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco to demonstrate a wide variety of applications they have created using Photobucket’s API.
Many more applications are featured in an Application Gallery launched today on the Photobucket Web site, including offerings from Blurb, Eye-Fi, Flektor and TiVo Inc. In addition to being a showcase for developers’ products, the Application Gallery makes it easy for Photobucket users to find and download applications and discover devices that support the API. Users can bookmark and share their favorite applications on their Photobucket profile, allowing other Photobucket users to try them out as well. To view the Photobucket Application Gallery, visit: http://gallery.photobucket.com.

Thanks to all your feedback, we’re upgrading the way you upload photos and videos to Photobucket today.
This upgrade radically simplifies uploading to Photobucket. It allows you to upload both photos and videos at the same time, and presents options for choosing and selecting media from different locations.
Here’s a quick summary of the improvements:
Naturally, we’re keeping the "old" way of uploading, because we know that some people just like it that way or are 'change averse'!
The size and limits of photos and videos that you can upload does not change.
Photobucket free users can upload images and have them appear automatically in the following sizes:
Photobucket Pro users can upload images in all the sizes above, and in addition:
File format support does not change either. All users can upload in all the standard file formats (JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG) and all standard video formats (3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, dv, dvx, flv, gif, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, wmv, xvid, rm). Pro users can in addition upload SWF (Flash) files.
You can choose to upload from your computer, a Web URL, from your mobile phone or from your email.
When you upload from your computer, you can pre-choose the size your image will end up. Or you can leave it in its original size, with a limit file size of 1MB (free users) or 5MB (Pro users):
When you upload from a Web URL, you just enter the URL of the image.
If you want to upload images from your mobile phone, use the unique email address associated with your Photobucket album to email from your phone to your album. When you click on this option, your unique email address is revealed:
You can also send an image direct from your email account to Photobucket. Just attach the image/photo/video to the email and send to your unique email address:
And finally, we always welcome feedback. Please contact us at pbfeedback@photobucket.com.
We've got a stinkeye contest going on at Photobucket. What's a stinkeye? That lingering glare that screams of disapproval. And we've seen some real doozies in this contest. Check out the ones we've got so far.

Palo Alto—April 9, 2008—Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com

Photobucket Launches Image Editing Solution Powered by FotoFlexer
Advanced image-editing solution will enhance self-expression through customization of online photos
New feature to be sponsored by Toyota
ALTO, Calif., March 6, 2008 – Photobucket, one of the top destinations for managing personal media, today announced the launch of built-in image editing, powered by FotoFlexer, one of the most advanced Web-based image editing solutions. The image editor enables Photobucket users to edit and add effects to their photos. The two companies aim to make it easy for Photobucket’s nearly 40 million monthly users around the world* to personalize and share images on the Web. Starting today, the entire photo-editing feature set is free to all Photobucket users and provides another vehicle for self-expression online.
FotoFlexer’s features are seamlessly integrated with Photobucket, enabling all users – regardless of skill level – easily to edit their images online, within their existing Photobucket albums.
Photobucket users upload up to ten million images to Photobucket every day, and the site currently hosts almost five billion images and videos. Photobucket users can share their images and videos via email, IM or mobile phone, as well as post them on their blog or social network profile.
Toyota is the charter sponsor of the new feature on behalf of the all-new 2009 Corolla. For a limited time, Toyota is putting a smile on the face of Photobucket users by providing digital “stickers” inspired by the Corolla Dream Estate at www.toyota.com/corolla. Funny stickers like chefs’ hats, French maids’ aprons and bow ties let users create their own staff in honor of the new Corolla, a champagne car on a beer budget.
The integration between Photobucket and FotoFlexer includes editing features customized and designed specifically for the Photobucket community such as:
After completing edits, users can either create a new copy or replace the existing photo. Users can then share the photos, include them in remixes or slideshows to share with friends and family or order custom photo prints, t-shirts, calendars or other gear from the Photobucket site.
“FotoFlexer is the perfect complement to Photobucket’s existing features, as it provides a way for our users to do more with their personal media online,” said Alex Welch, President of Photobucket. “This has been the most requested feature from our users, and we believe the FotoFlexer image editor enables them to complete the lifecycle for managing online photos – putting the final finishing touches and personalizing their photos before sharing them.”
“Collaborating with Photobucket allows us to bring our advanced, free tools to its huge user-base, who are always hungry for new ways to manage their photos,” said Sharam Shirazi, CEO of FotoFlexer. “FotoFlexer allows people to inject their personalities into photos, which is extremely important to Photobucket users who post, link and share their photos both online and offline. We are excited about this opportunity to integrate with Photobucket and we look forward to seeing what its users create.”
Photobucket users can log on and start editing today at: http://www.photobucket.com
Samples of photos, which have been customized by the image editor on Photobucket, can be found here: http://effects.photobucket.com/
