Frequently asked questions
How many images/videos can I upload?
You can upload multiple images or videos at a time. Each individual file can be up to 200 MB, with a 100 KB minimum. Need to upload more files than fit in one run? Just start the upload process again - unlike other image and video hosting providers out there we offer free, unlimited storage space and only limit how many files can go through in a single run, as a way to prevent browser errors and ensure system reliability.
If you need to upload automatically from a script or app instead of the website, see our API documentation.What formats are supported?
Right now the following formats are supported: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP for images, and MP4, WEBM, AVI for videos. To ensure better loading speed and deliverability all static image formats are automatically compressed and converted to a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web.
How long are the images/videos stored for?
We guarantee safe storage for anonymously uploaded files for 6 months, after which our platform will determine if the files are being used based on requests it receives and then it will extend or end the period. This rule does not apply for files uploaded by registered users, these files are stored forever, or until the uploader decides to delete them.
If you specifically want files to expire after a set time instead of being reviewed for extension, see our temporary image hosting option.How can I manage the images and videos I've uploaded?

Does YourImageShare have an API?
Yes. YourImageShare provides a free public REST API for uploading, listing, and deleting images and videos programmatically, without using the website's upload form. It is documented in full on our API documentation page, including authentication, all available endpoints, and example requests in curl, JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Go.
How do I get an API key?
Sign in to your account, open My account, and go to the API tab. Your key is shown there along with a Regenerate button. Treat your key like a password - anyone who has it can upload, list, and delete on your account, so only regenerate it if you believe it has been exposed, and update it everywhere it is in use first.
Are there official client libraries or SDKs?
Yes. We publish official client libraries for Node.js and npm and Python and PyPI, plus an MCP server for AI assistants and coding tools. All three are open source on GitHub. See our blog post on automating uploads with the API for a step-by-step walkthrough.
Can I use the API with ShareX or my forum's upload button?
Yes. Our API documentation includes a ready-made ShareX custom uploader configuration, plus real forum plugins for phpBB, SMF, MyBB, FluxBB, PunBB, and ZetaBoards that add an upload button directly to your forum's post editor. Read more in our posts on screenshot tool integrations and adding uploads to your forum.

The API is completely free. Each API key can make up to 20 requests per minute and 500 requests per day, with an additional 2,000-requests-per-day ceiling per IP address across all keys. If you go over a limit you will get a 429 response with a Retry-After header, and the limits reset automatically. Full details are on the API documentation page.
