How to upload a temporary image

- After 1 day
- After 3 days
- After 1 week

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.
Location and camera details are removed from every photo you upload. After 10 images the upload box asks you to register. The images still waiting stay in your browser and upload right after you sign up.
What temporary image hosting is used for
Any picture that should not stay online after it has done its job.

- Classified ads and listings. Photos that are deleted once the item is sold.
- Forum and chat posts. A picture for one thread, with BBCode for the forum image ready to paste.
- Documents and receipts. A photo someone needs to see once, with a link that stops working.
