Is Photo To URL free?

Yes. Converting a photo to a URL costs nothing and there's no paid tier gating the basic flow. The free allowance is 10 uploads per IP address per day. Circle Crop, Rounded Corners, and Remove Background are unlimited because they run in your browser and never touch our servers.

Do I need an account or an email address?

No — there's no sign-up, no email confirmation, and no login anywhere on the site. The trade-off is that there's no dashboard either: your links are kept in this browser's local storage and shown in the Upload records drawer, so copy anything you'll need long term into your own notes.

Which image formats and sizes can I upload?

PNG, JPG, WEBP, and GIF up to 5 MB per file. Animated GIFs keep their animation. For PDFs, Office documents, CSV, TXT, and ZIP archives up to 10 MB, use File to URL or PDF to URL instead.

How long does an image link last?

There's no expiry timer and no automatic cleanup after 7, 30, or 90 days — a link is meant to keep resolving for as long as the service runs. That said, no free host should be your only copy: keep the original file, and treat the link as a convenience rather than a backup.

Do you add watermarks or re-compress my image?

No. Nothing is stamped onto your image and no logo is added to the corner. The file is stored and served as you uploaded it, so a 5 MB PNG comes back byte-for-byte rather than as a smaller, softer copy.

Can I use the links commercially?

Yes. You keep every right you had in the image; hosting it here doesn't transfer anything to us or license it to anyone else. Only upload files you own or have permission to publish, since anyone with the URL can view them.

Can I embed the link in Markdown, HTML, or BBCode?

That is the main use for it. In Markdown write ![alt text](your-link); in HTML, use an img element whose src is your link and whose alt describes the picture; on BBCode forums, wrap the link in [img] tags. Because the URL points at the file itself, none of these need to be converted or unwrapped first — the snippets section above has each one ready to copy.

Who can see the images I upload?

Anyone with the link. Uploads are renamed to random identifiers, aren't listed in any public gallery, and are kept out of search indexes — but they're unlisted rather than private, and there's no password option. Don't upload anything you'd mind a stranger opening.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. Tap the uploader to pick a photo from your camera roll or take a new one, and the link appears in the same card. The browser-based editors work on mobile too, though Remove Background is heavier and runs faster on a laptop.

What happens when I reach the 10-upload limit?

The next upload is refused with a message rather than failing silently, and the counter resets at midnight UTC. The limit is per IP address, so a shared office or campus network can reach it sooner than you expect. The in-browser editors are unaffected and keep working.

Can I delete an upload?

Not from the interface yet — self-serve deletion is on the roadmap. Until it ships, use the contact page with the link you want removed and we'll take it down. Clearing the Upload records drawer only clears your local list, not the hosted file.

How is this different from a Google Drive or Dropbox share link?

Those links open a viewer page built around the file, which is why pasting one into Markdown or an img tag shows nothing. The link here is the file, so it renders wherever a URL is accepted — and it takes two clicks instead of uploading, waiting for a sync, and adjusting sharing permissions.

Resize Image in Pixels

Type an exact pixel width and height, with the aspect ratio locked or free.

Pixels Are the Only Size a Screen Understands

Every other unit - centimetres, inches, points - has to be converted into pixels before an image can be displayed or uploaded, which is why most specifications are written in pixels to begin with. Working directly in pixels removes the DPI question entirely: what you type is what the file contains. Keep the aspect lock on and typing a width fills in the matching height automatically, so the image never stretches; turn it off when a form demands a fixed shape such as a square. The output dimensions are shown live beneath the preview.

How to Resize an Image

Upload your image

Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF file. The tool shows its original dimensions and file size straight away.

Enter the new size

Pick a unit, type a width or height, and leave the lock on to keep the proportions. Presets like 300 × 300 and 1920 × 1080 are one tap away.

Download the resized image

Choose an output format and quality, then save the file at exactly the dimensions you set.

How do I avoid stretching the image?

Leave the aspect ratio lock switched on. Typing either dimension fills in the other so the proportions are preserved.

Can I enlarge an image this way?

You can type larger numbers, but enlarging invents no new detail - the result will be softer than the original.

Does resizing change the file size too?

Usually yes, since fewer pixels means less data. For an exact file size in kilobytes, use the compressor afterwards.

What is a good width for a web image?

1200-1600 pixels wide covers most full-width uses on modern displays. Thumbnails rarely need more than 400.
