How to upload a temporary image

Choose the delete time, upload the image, copy the link.

  1. Choose when the image is deleted. Pick a time in the Auto-delete list, from 5 minutes to 1 year.
  2. Add your images. Press the upload box and select files, drag them onto it, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V.
  3. Press Upload. Each image gets its own page link and direct link, with BBCode, HTML and Markdown.
  4. Share the link. It works until the time you chose. After that the image is deleted by itself.

How long can a temporary image stay online?

From 5 minutes to 1 year. You pick one of 11 times before you upload.

  • After 5 minutes
  • After 1 hour
  • After 6 hours
  • After 1 day
  • After 3 days
  • After 1 week
  • After 2 weeks
  • After 1 month
  • After 3 months
  • After 6 months
  • After 1 year

Short times suit a screenshot you need for one chat or one support ticket. A week or a month suits a classified ad or a forum thread. Every image in the same upload gets the same time.

What happens when a temporary image expires?

The image file, its page and its links are deleted from the server and cannot be restored.

Expired images are removed every 5 minutes. After that the page link no longer shows the image, and a forum post or web page that displayed it shows a placeholder picture in its place. Keep your own copy of anything you still need.

Keep an image you uploaded as temporary

Open the image page and press Keep this image before the time runs out.

The image page shows the date and time the image will be deleted, to you alone. Press Keep this image there and the image stays online. This works in the browser you uploaded from, or in your account. You can also delete an image yourself before its time.

Temporary image upload without an account

10 images, 10 MB each, with no sign-up and no email address.
