Free · Unlimited · No account needed
ImgBB is a capable image host, but if you mainly share screenshots for work (bugs, UI, docs), you may want something lighter: no account prompts, no dashboard, and a link that doesn't depend on staying signed in.

ImgBB works well if you want a personal gallery of images you manage over time. But for the common case, dropping a screenshot into a bug report, a ticket, or a chat and moving on, an account just adds friction, and there's no guarantee an anonymous upload sticks around forever.
sshot.online is built for that one job: uploads are anonymous, links don't expire, and every image comes with a direct link for embedding in Markdown, HTML, or forums. Paste or drop a screenshot on the upload page and get both links back in about a second, or capture and annotate first with the browser extension.
See why it's also a lightweight Imgur alternative and a privacy-friendly Lightshot / prnt.sc alternative.
Yes. It's free and unlimited, and unlike ImgBB it needs no account at all, even for uploads that stay online long-term, and shows no ads on your links.
No. Uploads on sshot.online stay online indefinitely and the link never expires, with no account required to keep it that way.
Yes. Every upload returns a direct image link for embedding in Markdown, HTML, forums, or chat tools.
