The Best Postimages Alternative

postimages.org is a genuinely capable free host - decent API, expiring links, a real feature set. But its free tier still caps at 32MB and doesn't host video. YourImageShare matches or beats it on the features that matter most: 200MB uploads and video hosting alongside images, with no paid tier required.

Quick answer: YourImageShare = 200MB uploads (vs postimages' 32MB free limit), images and video. postimages does offer temporary links and a free API too - see the honest comparison below.

Why Look for a Postimages Alternative?

32MB free limit - a hard ceiling for high-res photos or long screenshots.
No video hosting - images only, so video still needs another service.
Ads on the free tier - postimages' Premium plan removes them and raises the limit to 96MB, starting around $3.49-$14.99/month depending on term. YourImageShare's 200MB limit is free for everyone, no plan required.

Video Hosting, Not Just Images

postimages is images-only. YourImageShare hosts MP4, WEBM, and AVI files exactly like images - same upload flow, same direct links, one host instead of two.

Temporary Uploads, Compared Fairly

Credit where it's due: postimages' expiring-link options (1 hour up to 1 year) are genuinely useful, and it's not a feature every host offers. YourImageShare covers the same core use case - auto-deleting uploads from 1 hour up to 1 month via the web interface, or any custom duration from 60 seconds to 30 days through the API. See our own temporary image hosting page for the details.

How to Switch

No bulk-import tool exists for postimages links, but switching forward is immediate: upload to YourImageShare's homepage, copy the direct URL, embed code, or BBcode, and use it wherever the old postimages link was going.
