ImgBB is a free image hosting service that allows users to upload and share images online. It offers an easy-to-use interface for uploading images and provides direct links for embedding or sharing them. While Firebase Storage is a cloud storage solution typically used for storing various types of files, including images, ImgBB specializes specifically in image hosting. It can be used as an alternative for Firebase Storage when the primary requirement is to store and share images quickly without the complexity of a more extensive backend infrastructure. However, Firebase provides more advanced features for developers, like real-time database integration and file management.
