Popular free image hosts and hosting scripts

For those of you who are posting images to LES/LET, what are some of the popular image hosts you guys use?

If you are hosting your own image hosts, what scripts are you guys using?

Never make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.
It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.

  • Used to use Chevereto now just use ShareX with S3

  • Currently using Postimages. Looking for something similar, preferably one that can be used without logging... Something like upload, link and forget.

    There is a LES member who runs the im.ge prjoect- I had used it a couple of years ago...had even exchanged some DM's for a project I was (then) working on.

    Nowadays almost all images are posted here- via droplr (paid), or rarely... imgbb.


    Side trivia:

    1. Back in 2019/20, when I was less dumb than I am now... it was @uptime who showed me how to link images from droplr to LES.

    Default path is drop.lr/abcdefgh,which vanilla does not recognize. He "taught" me to right click on imageandcopy path(cdn-std.droplr.net/abcdefgh)

    1. on OGF during BF sale, some host had hot linked an image from wordpress website of some municipality in a small US town, that was ... interesting.

    2. If you really want to push this idea (#2) , set up a wordpress.com account (free) and upload/ server images from there.


    Damn.. all that bike p0rn needs a login. Sigh!

    I'm just using the built in image functionality?

    Is there a reason people are using external?

    You just paste an image directly into the comment box. Uploads and links it. Not sure how chuffed the admins are about space usage but works...path looks like this:

    Must be something else - I've used it on both FF/windows and FF/linux.

    If you right click the LES logo top left of this page, select copy image and the ctrl V it into the comment box it doesn't work for you?

    Tried that, and no, still doesn't work. No errors on console and i dont see any network activity being triggered for the file upload either. Disabled adblock as well, no dice. Oh well!

    Wait, then how did people on the internet find pictures of your yeti family? I always see them posting it here and there as proof of your existence! :lol:

    Paparazzi those guys are vultures. Can't take a shit unless I want to trip over them. Also I think @vyas has been deep faking a bunch of them as a side hustle.

  • I selfhost using Chibisafe

    I was selfhosting as well, but am worried about copyright claims. The country I am living in takes it a bit too seriously...
    So decided to go with image hosts that do not require accounts to "share" images on public forums.
