What is the best anonymous image hosting site? (sh.itjust.works)

For a long time now I have been using imgur, but I got to thinking and wondered if there was a better site.

It would be nice if the site also allowed linking directly to the image file instead of having to go to their site. Also, an option to delete the image in-case I accidently dox myself after posting a screenshot.

After a bit of searching, I found PasteBoard and ImageVenue, but I haven't tried them out yet.

What is everyone else using?

A similar post discussed yesterday. Maybe you'd find some more alternatives there.

Also, do these "image" hosters allow gifs & small videos?

Thanks for the link!

I really like PostImages.

It has:

Direct linking
Anonymous
Deleting posted image even without an account if you saved the link
Auto expiring images
24Mb uploads
Batch uploads (1000)

What is Direct Linking?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A link directly to the image file, so you don't have to visit the site to see the image, avoiding another page load and advertising.

It allows you to embed the image as well.

Also, easy downloading if you want to save the image.

I guess embedding then means to show the image directly in the post or comment, without having the need to click a link. Is this correct?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly!
