This may not be a good idea. I'm not sure why you would want to keep your app size to a minimum (you're a beginner! You shouldn't be focused on this kind of thing yet :), but hosting your images externally will require your user to always have a network connection, will slow down their experience, and it will unnecessarily use their data every time they use the app. Just my opinion. I can't give you any specific advice on Parse, as I haven't used it.
