Indafotó is a large Hungarian image hosting service, launched in 2007, and operated by Inda-Labs, that runs quite popular services in Hungary such as Blog.hu, Indavideó, Index Fórum, and is also related to the #1 Hungarian website index.hu.
Site reconnaissance
As of February 2023, according to the search page, it is hosting more than 8,900,000 photos, but according to the image ids, it is, or has hosted more than 27 million images (it might be that not all images are public).
Most of the images seem to be photos of good quality, with little sexually explicit content.
Through the search function, even the oldest pictures are available, dating back to 2007.
58,482 users belong to the above mentioned images (i.e. that many users have at least one image uploaded); some users have tens of thousands of images uploaded.
Archiving
With a strong business and technological background, one would think the website is not in danger. However, user:bzc6p considers the time has arrived for archiving the content, for the following reasons:
- Technical issues (broken search not showing images since April 2019, no https on the main page etc.)
- Seems to be abandoned by staff
- The world has changed a lot in 13 years, and while back then blog.hu and index.hu themselves seem to have used Indafotó to store images, they don't any more
- There is some turmoil around the flagship service index.hu, this might have further consequences
- Image hosting services are incremental. That is, already uploaded images can be continuously saved – one day they will have to be, anyway.
User:bzc6p started archiving the 58,482 users and their corresponding 8,914,482 images in June 2023.
Status
As of 2024-09-14, approximately 95.2% of the users and 26.3% of the images have been downloaded (because users with fewer images are being archived first).
