Ask Photobucket

Q: On my webpage, it shows  "Bandwidth Exceeded" blocking out my picture. I recently deleted a lot of pictures in my album to give it more room. Will this help get everything back online?


 A: Album size and bandwidth usage are two different things.  Your account has exceeded the monthly bandwidth usage limit. Bandwidth usage is based on links to images in your Photobucket account from other websites. Bandwidth resets each month on the day of the month that you registered.  This date and your current usage is viewable in your Account Options.  Once it has reset, your images will automatically reappear. If you find your album popular enough that you're running into this frequently, we'd recommend that you upgrade to a Premium account which is unmetered.  You can also see our FAQ for a more detailed description of bandwidth. 

Friendly Reminder - Please be sure to include your Photobucket username in all correspondence. Include as many of the details of the problem that you are experiencing to help us provide the best support possible.   We strive to respond to each question from our users with 24 hours.

From our Users...

Just began my second year as a premium member and wanted to thank you for a trouble-free service.  I couldn't ask any more for a good price. Good luck, thanks.

I just wanted to send an email to the people of Photobucket...I've been using this site for about 2 years now and I've never been disappointed with it...it is reliable, I don't worry about my images and graphics being lost, and it's one of my favorite sites.  Thank you so much for your good work!

We're In The News
 The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about image hosting and featured Photobucket in the story.  Some interesting history about us:

• Based in Broomfield, CO - Photobucket was founded by a photo hobbyist who wanted a place to store his own digital photos.

• In the early days, the company headquarters where code was written and staged was located in someone's basement.

• We're now the most popular image hosting site on the Net - surpassing Yahoo, Kodak and Webshots.
