Use cases/Show one image to the people you choose, as a link, without posting it anywhere public

Share an image privately — as a link, not a post.

You have a mockup, a floor plan, a proof, a screenshot of something that isn't public yet — and one or two people who need to see it. Posting it anywhere public is wrong, an image host hands out a URL built for embedding everywhere, and a chat attachment gets compressed and lost in the scroll. Upload the PNG or JPEG as it is and you get a private link: unguessable, kept out of search engines, and opened in any browser with no app and no account on their end.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop the image in — a PNG or a JPEG, exactly as you saved it. Nothing is re-encoded: the file is stored byte for byte and shown on a plain page we generate around it, so the person you send it to sees your pixels, not a recompressed copy. You get back an unguessable link that carries a no-index tag, which keeps it out of search results and out of reach of anyone guessing.

  2. 2

    Send the link wherever the conversation is — an email, a DM, a project thread. It opens in the recipient's browser on a phone or a laptop, with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. When the image shouldn't be seen by anyone who happens to get hold of the link, add a password; when it only matters for a week, let the link expire.

  3. 3

    When the image changes, replace the file behind the same link — a revised mockup, a corrected floor plan, a newer screenshot. The address you already sent keeps working and now shows the new version, so nobody ends up comparing an old attachment with a new one.

Frequently asked questions

Who can see an image I share this way?

Anyone you give the link to — and anyone they pass it on to. The link is unguessable and carries a no-index tag, so the image doesn't turn up in search and can't be found by guessing, but the link itself is the key. If that isn't enough for this image, put a password on it: then holding the link gets someone to a password prompt, not to the picture. And remember what any viewer can always do — look at it, screenshot it, or save it. A private link controls who reaches the image, not what they do once they're looking at it.

Will the link show a preview in a chat app?

It can. A link without a password may unfurl in chat apps with a small preview of the page, which for an image means a glimpse of the image itself. If even that is too much — the image is sensitive, or the chat is a big group — set a password. Password-protected links never get a preview, because a preview would show what the password is there to hold back.

Does the photo keep its location data?

Yes, if it had any. The file is stored exactly as you uploaded it, which is also why it isn't recompressed — and that means metadata inside the file travels with it. A photo taken on a phone can carry the place it was taken; anyone who saves the image can read it. If that matters, remove the location before you upload: most phones and photo apps have an option to share or export without location.

Which image formats can I upload?

PNG and JPEG. The upload checks the file's actual contents rather than its name, so a renamed file of another type won't pass. Other formats — HEIC straight off an iPhone, WebP, GIF, SVG — need converting to PNG or JPEG first; most phones and image editors can export either. If what you have is a set of images that belong together, put them on one HTML page (or a ZIP with the page and its images) and share that instead.

How big can the image be?

A No-account upload — no sign-up at all — takes a file up to 3 MB and expires after 7 days, which covers most screenshots and exported mockups. The free tier takes 10 MB per file with 10 MB of storage in total. Solo at $4.99/mo raises that to 25 MB per file and 100 MB in total; Studio takes 50 MB per file and 500 MB in total. A full-resolution photo straight from a camera can run past the smaller limits — exporting it at a sensible size first is usually kinder to whoever opens it on a phone anyway.

How long does the link work?

On the free plan, links expire after 7 days — except one always-on slot, which is enough for a single image that has to stay up. On Solo and Studio links stay live until you choose an expiry. You can also end a link early at any time, which is the useful move when a preview has done its job and you'd rather it stopped circulating.

When is an image host the better choice?

When you actually want the image to be public and embeddable — a picture for a forum post, a README, a marketplace listing, anywhere that needs a direct image URL to show it inline. That is what image hosts are built for, and this isn't one: a private link opens a page with your image on it, meant for the people you sent it to, not a file URL for pasting into other sites. Likewise, if the person needs the original file to work with — a printer, a designer, an editor — send them the file.
