Frequently Asked Questions
Is PicHost free?
Yes. Uploading, hosting and linking are free and no account is needed.
What formats and sizes are supported?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP and BMP, up to 32 MB per image.
Where are my images stored?
On the ImgBB storage network. PicHost passes your upload to ImgBB, and the image is served from ImgBB's delivery network — PicHost does not keep its own copy.
How do I upload?
Drag files onto the homepage, click Start uploading, paste with Ctrl+V, or use the Upload from URL tab.
Which link should I use?
Direct link inside other pages and apps; viewer link when sharing with people; BBCode on forums; HTML on websites and blogs; Markdown on GitHub, Reddit and note apps.
How long do images stay online?
As long as you choose: Never, or auto-delete after 1, 7 or 30 days.
How do I delete an image?
Open its viewer page (or My Uploads) and use the delete button. It opens ImgBB's delete page for that image in a new tab — confirm there to delete it permanently. Only uploads made from this browser can be deleted this way, because the private delete link is stored in this browser.
Where is my upload history?
In the My Uploads section on the homepage, stored only in this browser's local storage. It is not an account and is not synced between devices.
Can I upload private images?
Anyone with the link can view an image, so do not use PicHost for anything that must stay private.
