  • Image manager

    Online image management allows you to edit and delete files, as well as duplicate and clone them, without ever having to leave your browser tab.

All you need for Image hosting

  • SSL certificate included

    An SSL certificate is required, and we offer it for free. The image URL will contain the trustable https in the URL.

  • Image editor

    If you want to modify an uploaded image, you can do it right from your account.

  • Media storage

    Use Static.app to save images and more (unarchive and host files like videos, docs, Zip files, etc.)

Static.app vs Imgur, ImgBB, and Postimages

All four give you a free, direct image link over HTTPS, so the honest differences are whether you need an account, whether the page carries ads, how large your files can be, and whether you can host on your own domain and go beyond images.

Competitor details from each service's official help, pricing, and upload pages, verified July 2026. Imgur ended anonymous uploads in 2023, so an account is now required; the free tiers of Imgur, ImgBB, and Postimages are ad-supported per their own pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Static.app image hosting really free?

Yes. You can upload an image and get a permanent, direct link on a free Static.app subdomain with SSL, at no cost. There are no ads and no watermarks. Paid plans from $6 a month add your own custom domain, more storage, and larger uploads.

Do I need an account to upload an image?

Yes, a free account, created in the same step as your first upload with just your name, email, and password, and no credit card. Your account is where you manage, replace, or delete your images, and where you can connect a custom domain later.

What image formats can I upload?

Static.app hosts JPG and JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG, and ICO files. Because it is a full static host, you can also upload non-image files such as PDFs, video, fonts, and ZIP archives in the same place.

What is the largest image I can host?

Up to 50 MB per file on the free tier, and up to 1 GB per file on paid plans. That is far more headroom than most free image hosts, which often cap free uploads well below that.

Do my image links expire?

No. Your direct links are permanent and stay live until you delete the image yourself. Static.app does not remove images for inactivity, so a link you paste today keeps working.

Can I get a direct, hotlinkable image link?

Yes. You get a direct URL to the image file itself, not a gallery or viewer page, so it works anywhere a public image URL is accepted: forums, Discord, eBay and marketplace listings, email signatures, Notion, and Markdown or HTML on your own website.

Can I host images on my own custom domain?

Yes. On paid plans from $6 a month you can serve your images from your own domain with free SSL. The free tier gives you a free Static.app subdomain, which most image hosts cannot match since they only give you a link on their own domain.

Are there ads or watermarks on my images?

No. Static.app never places ads on your image page or watermarks on your images, so what you upload is exactly what your visitors see.

How do I add a hosted image to my website or Markdown?

Copy the direct URL and drop it into an HTML img tag or a Markdown image such as ![alt](url). Because it is a real, permanent link served over HTTPS, it loads reliably anywhere images are supported.

What is an image host, and how is Static.app different from Imgur, ImgBB, or Postimages?

An image host stores your images online and gives you a link to share or embed them. Services like Imgur, ImgBB, and Postimages give you a link on their own domain and are built for images only. Static.app gives you an ad-free direct link, lets you host images on your own custom domain with SSL, keeps links permanent, and can host your entire website and other files too, not just images.
