FAQ
What's wrong with Postimages?
Postimages works, but the ads are heavy, the mobile UI is dated, and there's no API. For one-off forum-post hosting it's fine. For regular work — blog posts, portfolios, dev assets — it grinds.
Are URLs actually permanent on Postimages?
They claim permanent, and in practice most uploads stay. ImageToURL guest uploads are temporary; signed-in users can choose Never delete before upload when they need a keep-forever link.
Does ImageToURL show ads?
ImageToURL is free within the current limits and supported by ads on the site. Your uploads are not sold as a product.
Which is faster for viewers?
Side-by-side tests on the same image show ImageToURL ~60–120 ms faster TTFB from US/EU, because Cloudflare's PoPs sit closer to most users than Postimages' origin. Asia and LATAM see bigger gaps.
Can I migrate existing Postimages URLs?
Not automatically — there is no import API. Download your images from Postimages and re-upload them here. Use the web bulk uploader within the current limits.
Embed codes?
Yes — direct URL, HTML, Markdown, BBCode. Same set Postimages offers, generated locally after upload.
NSFW policy?
Not allowed. Postimages is more permissive; if that's a hard requirement, this isn't the right tool. See content guidelines.
Do I need an account?
No. Anonymous uploads are supported. Create an account only if you want to manage or delete uploads later.
