Closr, a new free online service, lets you upload the photos in their full-resolution size instead of the compressed images, you usually allowed to host at other pictures sharing sites. The only limitation is that the file must be under 100MB, while a standard 12-megapixel photo is just up to 5 MB.
Closr is also a great place to show off huge panoramic photos made by stitching several high-megapixel images together. Closr can easily accept 20MB and 30MB panoramas with no complaints.
To use Closr, you must register with a screen name, e-mail, and password. Then upload a photo. It will appear in a widget on the Website.
Click the icon in the upper right corner of the widget, and the photo will go full screen, so you can zoom in and pan around more easily.
The widgets have some useful functions, like a full-screen button, and another button that resets the photo to its starting size. There’s minimal branding and excess junk attached to them, too, so they’re not going to make your site look terrible when you embed them.
You can share uploaded photos by sending the URL via e-mail.
