Is Ikbis free?

Yes. There will always be a free edition of the Ikbis service. We are planning to have a premium paid edition of Ikbis in the near future. And for now, we don’t have limitations on bandwidth or storage, so you can upload as many photos and videos as you wish. We reserve the right to introduce limitations on bandwidth usage and storage. But really for now, just enjoy it! We will not trap you into any funny subscription fees to access your photos and videos that you already uploaded.

If Ikbis introduces limitations on bandwidth or storage, will I lose any of my photos and videos that I have uploaded already?

No. We know how much your photos and videos mean to you. You will not lose any of your photos and videos. No matter how big the number of photos and videos you uploaded, you will be able to view, organize, edit and share them even when limitations are introduced.

How do photos and videos get featured on Ikbis?

There is a mix of featured photos and videos based on number of views, user ratings, comments and sharing by e-mail. We also review all photos and videos several times a day, and choose the ones we like as Ikbis Picks.

Does Ikbis monitor photos and videos?

Yes. We want to keep Ikbis a clean destinations for the tens of thousands of people who use Ikbis everyday. Please read our Community Guidelines for more information. However, because we want to maintain user experience on Ikbis, we usually perform post-moderation; i.e. photos and videos do not require any approval to go live, we just monitor as they go live.

What is Ikbis Community Watch?

Not only do we depend on our moderation to keep Ikbis a clean destination to visit, we also allow people to contribute to Ikbis. This means that Ikbis users and visitors can flag photos or videos as possibly inappropriate. This way if we miss something while moderating, our Ikbis Community can help us out.

Oh those! We use them to pay our bandwidth, storage, server bills and the team’s salaries! However, you will notice that we care a lot more than others when it comes to the user experience while using Ikbis. That’s why our advertisements are not intrusive and are pleasant to view, and many times they will be relevant to you.

Do I have to signup to watch photos and videos on Ikbis?

No. But if you signup , you can rate photos and videos that you watch, leave comments and get more social by adding other ikbis users as contacts. Signing up with Ikbis takes a few minutes, and is instantly activated.
