How to Upload & Rotate Photos for Free

If you want to share your photos with others over the Internet, you may discover that email is not always effective, especially with large sets of high-resolution files. In addition, if you wish to share photos in an online forum or social networking site, you may find that these sites do not offer to store your photos for you. Free image hosting websites exist to facilitate sharing photos in all of these contexts.
