Every upload is checked by automated moderation before it can appear anywhere public, and the same checks cover titles, descriptions, comments and profile details (picture, name, bio, links). Anything the automated check flags, and anything reported through the report page, is reviewed by our Trust & Safety team; content that breaks the Terms is removed. Files removed for illegal content are refused if someone tries to upload them again, and location data is stripped from photos before they are stored.

The goal is simple: keep YourImageShare a safe place to share visual content and get feedback on it.

The following rules apply to all user submitted content such as visual content, titles, descriptions, comments, and user profile details.

• No child endangerment

  Any content found to be sexualizing or exploiting minors or that can be described as a form of child endangerment will be immediately removed, the uploader will be permanently suspended and, if necessary, reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. This applies all forms of user submitted content such as photos, videos, animated imagery, descriptions, comments, etc.

• No non-consensual content

  The distribution of photos or videos of another person, without that person's consent is a violation of that person’s privacy and is a severe violation of our rules. Any image or videos taken of or from someone without their obvious knowledge or consent that is uploaded on our platform will be removed and the uploader will be permanently suspended.

• No personally identifiable information

  This refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual no matter if it's something that can be described as a direct identifier, that, on its own, allows you to identify an individual ( such as names, email addresses including one’s name, fingerprints, facial photos, etc.), a strong indirect identifiers ( addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses not including one’s name, URL of personal pages), or an indirect identifiers (background information on people, such as age, location, gender and job title). Content containing personally identifiable information will be removed or masked, and repeated or serious cases lead to suspension.

• No hate speech, abuse, or any other form of harassment.

  User generated content that can be described as containing attacks on people based on their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, or medical condition, or content depicting or advocating discrimination of a group, as well as any form of endorsement of hateful content or ideologies, or content that attacks, bullies, or harasses non-public people will be removed from our platform and appropriate actions will be taken against the uploader.

  Any form of content depicting, condoning, or advocating any form of illegal activity or violence, as well as content that is intended to incite, or advocate for others to commit any form of violence, or mocks victims of violence, or includes any form of threat to others will not be tolerated.

• No shock content

  Any form of content posted with or without the direct intent to shock or disgust the viewers identified by our systems or moderators, or reported by viewers will be analysed and appropriate actions will be taken against it and its author.

• No spam content or spam associated behaviour

  We will remove any user generated material containing unapproved commercial advertising, links to dubious websites and material that can be used to impersonate an entity in other mediums such as emails, website banners, etc. Actions will also be conducted against users that engage in a spam associated behaviour. The use of more accounts as a way of avoiding suspensions is also prohibited.

Our system will analyse all aspects of user generated content and depending on its nature will ensure appropriate actions are taken. Please find below the list of actions that can be taken, in order to enforce our moderation rules:

• Content warning - our platform will flag any upload containing visual content that is unsuitable for general public and will warn and ask viewers for consent before the content of that file is being shown.
• Content editing - the system will make sure all comments, titles, descriptions, user names & their bios, etc. don't contain any text that goes against our moderation rules. This is done by analysing the content and replacing all non acceptable parts of it with ***, as a way to give the author the possibility to rephrase the said content while providing clues about the non acceptable parts.
• Content removal - the system can remove any visual content and its details, any comment or user profile related information without warning if severe violations of our platform's rules are detected or reported by other users.
• Temporary suspension - this action can be taken against those users (registered or not) who break our platform's rules for the first time, if the said rule breaking is not considered a severe one.
• Permanent suspension - this action can be taken against those users (registered or not) and any other identity they might use in order to avoid suspension, who repeatedly break our platform's rules or commit a major violation of our platform's rules.

Depending on the nature of the content analysed, several actions can be taken at the same time.

If you feel you've been wrongly suspended for your activity on our platform, some of your content was wrongly moderated or have any question our rules and moderation, please feel free to contact us.

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 and in each of the official client libraries.

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.

Yes. We publish official client libraries for JavaScript/Node.js (npm), Python (PyPI), PHP (Packagist), Ruby (RubyGems), Rust (crates.io), Go and Elixir (Hex), plus an MCP server for AI assistants and coding tools. All of them are open source on GitHub. See our blog post on automating uploads with the API for a step-by-step walkthrough.

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, upload scripts for Flameshot and Greenshot, and a WordPress media offload plugin (awaiting approval in the WordPress.org directory). For screenshots in the browser there is the YourImageShare Capture extension for Chrome and Firefox. 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. Upload-only keys, used by the WordPress and forum plugins, get 2,000 uploads per day. 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.
