Any file type · up to 49MB · free links last 30 days
Your file stays private until you share the link. Free links auto-delete after 30 days. Only someone with the exact URL can open it, it isn't searchable or listed anywhere.
HOW IT WORKS
- 1Drop your image (up to 49MB)
- 2We host it on a fast CDN
- 3Copy the direct image URL
WHEN TO USE THIS
- Embed an image in a forum post, GitHub README, or anywhere that needs a direct <img> source rather than an upload button. Paste the link and the image renders inline immediately.
- Share a screenshot in a support ticket, bug report, or Slack thread without the platform compressing or stripping it. The link points to your original file at full resolution.
- Hotlink an image into a site, doc, or presentation you're building without needing your own image hosting set up.
- Send a scanned document, receipt, or photo somewhere that only accepts a URL field rather than a file upload, some forms and tools ask for a link, not an attachment.
WHEN NOT TO USE THIS
If the image contains sensitive personal information (ID documents, medical scans, financial statements), remember the link is public to anyone who has it. For that kind of content, share it through a private, permissioned channel instead.
What an image URL is
An image URL is a web address that points straight at a picture file, not at a page that happens to contain one. Open it in a browser and you see the image. Paste it into an HTML tag, a Markdown post or a form that asks for an image link, and the picture shows up in place.
This tool makes one for any image you upload. You do not need an account, and JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and SVG files all work up to 49MB.
How to use your image link
In HTML, use the link as the source of an image tag: <img src="https://filetourl.org/f/your-link" alt="Describe the image">.
In Markdown, which covers GitHub READMEs, issues and many forums, write .
In chat, email or a form that just wants a link, paste it as it is. Anyone who opens it sees the original image.
A direct link, not a sharing page
Many image hosts give you a link to a page with the picture in the middle and ads around it. Our link goes to the file itself. That is what a forum, a README or a CMS image field needs, and it means the image loads on its own with nothing wrapped around it.
Hotlinking is allowed, so you can embed the image on another site without extra setup.
What we do not change
We store the file exactly as you uploaded it. There is no resizing and no compression, so the link serves the original resolution.
That also means the metadata inside the image (EXIF) stays in place, including the camera model, the time and sometimes the location. If you do not want that shared, strip it before you upload.
How long the link lasts, and who can see it
Free links work for 30 days. Pro (£24/yr) makes them permanent, which is the better choice for an image you want to keep in a live page or document.
The link is not listed or searchable. Only people who have the exact URL can open it, but they can open it without logging in, so do not use it for ID documents or anything private.
