Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Photo2URL
What is Photo2URL?▼
Photo2URL is a free online tool that converts photos into direct image links instantly. Upload or paste any PNG, JPG, WEBP, or GIF to get a shareable, CDN-powered URL with no signup required and zero ads.
Do the generated photo links expire?▼
Free tier links are active for 180 days — perfect for temporary sharing, bug reports, and forum posts. For permanent links that never expire, Plus and Enterprise plans offer permanent storage with no time limit.
Is Photo2URL really free to use?▼
Yes — the free tier gives you 15 uploads per day, up to 3 MB per file, with no sign-up required. If you need permanent links, larger files (up to 256 MB), or unlimited daily uploads, we offer paid plans starting at $7.91/month. Being free means we're transparent about what's free and what's not.
What link formats do I get after uploading?▼
Every upload instantly generates three formats with 1-click copy: a Direct Image URL (ending in .jpg or .png), a Markdown code snippet (for GitHub, Notion, Obsidian), and an HTML tag for blogs and websites.
Is my uploaded photo secure and private?▼
Yes. We respect your privacy. Your photos are never indexed by search engines, showcased in public galleries, or shared with third parties. Only people with your direct URL can access the image.
How is Photo2URL different from other free image hosts?▼
Traditional image hosts force viewers to landing pages cluttered with ads, pop-ups, and sidebars. Photo2URL provides a clean, direct image link that renders instantly anywhere — no wrapper pages, no ads, and no extra clicks.
