How to Upload an Image and Get a Shareable Link
Published August 9, 2026 · 3 min read
Sometimes you don't need a screenshot tool at all, just a way to get an existing image online so you can share it as a link. Here's how to do that in a few seconds.
Steps to upload an image
- Go to the image upload page.
- Drag your image file onto the box, click to browse, or paste it from your clipboard.
- The upload finishes almost immediately.
- Copy the share link or the direct image link, whichever fits where you're posting it.
What formats are supported
PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP images up to 3 MB are accepted. That covers the vast majority of photos, screenshots, and graphics people share day to day.
Share link vs. direct image link
The share link opens a clean page with your image and a preview, which works well for sending to people directly. The direct image link points at the raw file, so it's the right choice for embedding in a README, a wiki page, or a forum post that displays images automatically.
No account, no expiry
You don't need to sign up, and the link won't stop working after a set time. If you ever want an image taken down, you can request removal from the contact page.
