Hey guys!

I've been working on an image hosting platform that's free for everyone to use, with loose limits and high file sizes — the kind of host I always wished existed but could never find.

Quick backstory: I got tired of the usual image host annoyances. Links expiring after a few months, uploads getting compressed into mush, tiny file size limits, forcing you to make an account for everything. So I built my own.

What you get:

• Permanent direct links. Your uploads stay up.
• High file sizes — 75MB per file for everything (images, videos and audio alike), and Pro bumps that to 250MB. 15+ formats.
• No account needed to upload. Drag, drop, copy the link, done.
• On-the-fly effects from the URL — /greyscale, /blur, /rounded, /circle, rotations, and a few more. No editing software needed.
• Albums and galleries for organizing your stuff.
• Password-protected uploads if you want them private.
• A real API with API keys if you're a developer — docs are on the site at /developers.

It's free, and there's a premium tier that unlocks the fancier effects (pixelate, duotone, enhance) and higher limits. But the free tier is genuinely usable on its own — I use it as my daily host.

It's just me building this, so if you break something or want a feature, tell me — I read everything. What would you want to see next?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on an image hosting service called dbimg, mainly because I was frustrated with how difficult it can be to find a simple image host with permanent links, generous upload limits, and no account requirement.

I wanted something I’d actually be happy using myself, so I built it.

A few things it currently supports:

• Permanent direct links for uploads
• Up to 75MB per file on the free tier
• Images, videos, and audio
• 15+ supported formats
• Uploads without creating an account
• URL-based effects such as greyscale, blur, rounded corners, circles, and rotation
• Albums and galleries
• Password-protected uploads
• An API with API keys for developers
• A Pro tier with higher limits and additional effects

The free tier is intended to be useful on its own rather than just being a limited demo. Pro mainly adds higher limits and some of the more advanced effects.

I’m building it myself, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who use image hosts regularly.

What features do you wish your current image host had? And what would make you switch to a different one?

If you’re interested, I’ve written up a bit more about the project here:

And the site itself is here:

If you do try it, I'd especially appreciate hearing about anything that doesn't work as expected or features you'd like to see added.
