Browse

Overview: The following tutorial explains how to browse for images, videos, icons, and more using Photobucket.

Requirements: Browse functionality is available to both account holders and non-account holders.

Steps to Take:
  1. Click find stuff in the menu at the top of the page.
  2. Choose a category from the secondary menu to browse for content:

    • top categories
    • icons
    • photography
    • quotes & sayings
    • art
    • funny
    • popular videos
    • group albums
    • contests

    Categories may have sub-categories that you can browse.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Click a category to see media in the category or sub-categories for the category. (A [# sub-categories] link below the category indicates more categories.)
    • Click a [category name], in the Find more panel on the left, to begin browsing.
    Sub-categories display a content total for each, including images, videos, and groups. If you browse images, images display at the top of the results page. Related videos display at the bottom of the page and vice versa.

    Click Follow to receive notification when new content is added to the sub-category.
  4. Click any thumbnail to see the full-size view of the content.
  5. For images and videos, you can:

    • Click share to share the media via email, or to a social networking or blogging web site.
    • Click view album to view the Photobucket user's album where the content is located.
    • Click copy to my album to copy the image into your Photobucket account. When you copy to your album the original file is copied into your album. In other words, this content will not be "linked" to your account.
    • Click add comment to comment on the media.
    • Click on the stars to rate the media.
    For images only, you can:

    • Click zoom in to expand the content if the image is not displayed at full-size. If an image displays at full-size, zoom in does not display.
    • Click edit to add stickers, text, and effects. When you save the image, it saves to your account.
    • Click download to download the image to your computer.

      Note: If download and copy to my album do not display, the media owner has set their account options to disallow copying. See Changing the Album Settings in your Account for details.

    • Click send to phone to send the image to your mobile device to use as wallpaper. See What is send to phone for details. This feature is only available to users in the United States.

  6. Click the arrows to move back and forward in the search results in the full-size view. Click more results to view more content that falls within your original search criteria. When you click content in the search results box, it displays at full-size.
