I was looking for images for a recent post and stumbled upon Imgembed, a new service addressing the issues of embedding images, monetizing them and crediting the photographer.

Many bloggers have trouble finding images for their blog. They don’t know where to look or they don’t have a budget to purchase stock images, so they end up running a quick Google image search and simply “borrowing” images from the search results.

Imgembed fixes this for both bloggers and photographers.

This is huge! Photographers love it because it’s easy to use, image use is easy to track and they are fairly credited for their images. Users love it because it’s easy to find beautiful images that are easy to use.

Users have two options when using Imgembed:

1. Use credited image for free (up to 10,000 impressions).

2. If you don’t want the photographers name to appear, pay for premium use (calculated by impression).

The process is super easy:

• Go to Imgembed.
• Search by subject, keyword, hashtag or photographer name.
• When you find an image you like, click “embed.”
• Select the size of image you want and copy the code.
• Paste the code into your blog and voila, you’re done!

Here’s an example of an embedded photograph with a credit:

Want to make your photographs available on Imgembed? Signing up is easy and you can instantly import all your images from other photo sharing services such as Instagram of Flickr. You’ll have access to statistics and can even watermark certain images if you like.

Check out this video from Imgembed for an overview of the service.

The verdict:

Imgembed solves a huge problem for both users and creators and is super easy to use. A+ in my book!
