Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. There are no subscription tiers or paid upgrades. We ask only that you use the service responsibly and follow our rules.

Yes. A free account is required to upload images. Registration takes about a minute and just needs a valid email address for verification.
What image formats are supported?
We support GIF, JPG, and PNG files. Make sure your filenames don't include spaces or special characters, and that the file extension matches the actual file type.

The maximum upload size is 512 KB per image.

How long will my images be hosted?
Images remain available as long as your account is in good standing and the image is within your storage limits. We recommend re-uploading any image you need for long-term use if you notice it has been removed.
Can I hotlink my images?
Yes — that's one of the primary uses for this service. You can embed or link your hosted images on forums, message boards, personal sites, and individual online auction listings. Please review our rules for acceptable hotlinking use.What images are not allowed?
