Turn an image into a direct URL
Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF and get a hotlinkable address that renders the picture in any browser, plus a QR code for phones. Nothing to install, nothing to sign.
Any supported file works. Images: PNG · JPEG · WebP · GIF · SVG · AVIF · HEIC · TIFF · BMP · ICO · PSD
From picture to URL in three moves
Drop your image
Drag a PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF onto the box above, or click to browse. Screenshots pasted from your clipboard work too, and there is no registration wall in the way.
We mint the image URL
The file is checked byte by byte to confirm it really is an image, then published at a short address that serves the picture itself, not a landing page around it.
Embed it or hand it out
Paste the address into an img tag, a Markdown document, a forum signature, or a chat thread. The picture loads inline wherever image URLs are accepted.
What a hosted image URL gets you
True hotlinking
The address resolves to the raw image bytes over HTTPS, so an img src, a CSS background, or a README badge pulls it straight from our edge without redirects.
Inline rendering, not a download prompt
Whoever opens it sees the picture immediately in the browser tab. There is no viewer to choose, no attachment to save, and no archive to unpack first.
Every raster format, one behavior
PNG screenshots, JPG photos, WebP exports, and animated GIFs all publish the same way, so your workflow does not change when the file extension does.
Where an image link earns its keep
Bug reports and screenshots
Capture a screenshot, upload it, and paste the URL into a GitHub issue, a support ticket, or a Slack thread. Reviewers see the exact pixels without downloading anything.
Markdown and HTML embeds
Documentation sites, README files, and forum posts accept a bare image URL. One upload gives you an address that works in Markdown syntax and plain img tags alike.
Mockups for client review
Send a designer's export as a URL instead of a heavy email. The client opens it full size on any device, and the QR code puts the same picture on a phone in one scan.
Image hosting questions, answered
Which image formats can I share?
PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF are all supported, including animated GIFs. Each upload is validated as a genuine image, so a mislabeled or corrupt file is rejected with a clear message instead of serving broken bytes to your readers.
Can I hotlink the image in an img tag?
Yes, that is the whole point. The URL resolves to the image itself, so it works inside an img element, a Markdown embed, or a forum post, and the picture loads inline from a global edge network over HTTPS.
Can I upload a picture without registering?
Yes. Drag, drop, and copy the URL with no account at all. A free sign-in extends how long the address stays up, and paid plans add password protection plus view analytics.
When does an image URL expire?
An anonymous upload stays served for 48 hours. With a free account the same URL keeps resolving for 30 days. After expiry the address returns nothing at all rather than a degraded placeholder.
Is the picture recompressed?
Never. We store and serve the exact bytes you uploaded, so a lossless PNG stays lossless and a carefully tuned JPG keeps its compression settings. What your recipient renders is pixel-identical to your original.
What happens to EXIF data like GPS location?
The file is served exactly as uploaded, which means any EXIF metadata your camera wrote, including GPS coordinates, travels with it. If that concerns you, strip the metadata with your editor's export function before uploading, since we do not alter your bytes in either direction.
Is there a size limit for images?
Anonymous uploads have a modest per-file cap that comfortably fits screenshots and web exports. Paid tiers raise it for print-resolution scans and large animation files. The uploader tells you the current ceiling before you commit.
