How to Upload an Image and Get a Shareable Link

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

  1. Go to the image upload page.
  2. Drag your image file onto the box, click to browse, or paste it from your clipboard.
  3. The upload finishes almost immediately.
  4. 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.
