Frequently asked questions

Open the uploader, drop your image or tap “Choose images”, and copy the link that appears when the upload finishes. You can also paste an image with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac).

Use the direct link (ending in .jpg, .png and so on) for apps and anywhere that displays an image from a URL. Use the share page link to send a picture to a person. HTML is for websites and emails, BBCode for forums, and Markdown for GitHub and documentation.

Yes — up to 20 at a time. Each one gets its own link, and “Copy all” copies every link in the format you choose, one per line.

No. There is no sign-up. Your recent uploads and their delete links are remembered in your browser so you can find them again on the same device.

Anyone who has the link. Links are random and not listed anywhere on our site, and image pages ask search engines not to index them. But a link is not a password — anyone you send it to can pass it on. Don’t upload anything private.

25 MB per image and up to 80 megapixels. Images are stored at up to 4096 pixels on the longest side.

The default “Balanced” setting is designed to be visually indistinguishable for normal viewing. Choose “High quality” for minimal compression or “Smallest file” when size matters most.

Yes. The image compressor runs entirely in your browser and lets you download the smaller file, including to a target size like 100 KB.

By default, as long as people keep viewing them: an image is removed after 12 months without a single view. You can also choose to delete it automatically after 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days or 30 days.

Open the private delete link shown after uploading (also saved under “Recent uploads” in your browser) and confirm. Deletion is permanent and every link to the image stops working.

No free host can promise that, and we don’t. We keep images online under the rules above, but please keep your own copy of anything important.

It expired, was deleted with its delete link, was not viewed for 12 months, or was removed for breaking our rules.
