Methodology and data sources
- Upload figures are derived directly from the platform's upload database and refreshed hourly. No data relating to individual files or users is published.
- "Last 12 months" denotes a rolling window ending on the date of the latest update; monthly figures cover the 12 most recent complete calendar months.
- File formats are determined from the original file name prior to conversion; file names have been recorded since May 2026. JPG, JPEG and JFIF are reported as JPEG.
- File sizes refer to stored files. Categories containing fewer than 20 uploads are not reported separately.
- Cumulative totals since 2021 include uploads made prior to the 2022 platform migration. Recorded views comprise page, direct-link and embed views.
- Delivery figures (data delivered, requests served and daily unique visitors) are sourced from the CDN's analytics for the 30 most recent complete days.
