It may come as a surprise to some, but the little image sharing site that made its name as the repository of choice for some of the most popular images on Reddit, has grown up quite a bit over the years. Imgur has attracted a decent amount of funding along the way and has done a nice job at keeping its roots planted while building out a pretty sizable image-sharing/curation platform.

With over a hundred million users, it is tough to ignore Imgur, so I recently sat down to gather some stats. Here are the more interesting Imgur statistics I was able to dig up. As always, I will be updating this post semi-regularly, so be sure to check back in the future for additional stats and updates.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Many of these Imgur statistics come from the company’s own disclosures, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
