IMGBS - Dead simple image hosting that just works

by•
I got tired of image hosts that are slow, cluttered with ads, or randomly delete your stuff. So I built IMGBS — free image hosting that actually respects your images. Bulk upload 200 at once, organize into albums, share instantly. Earn XP and achievements as you upload. Pick from 6 themes. Edit images in the browser. Set auto-delete timers for temporary shares. No ads, no file limits, no account required. Just drag, drop, and done.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Dweebix, and I built IMGBS because I was frustrated with the current state of image hosting. Imgur got bloated with social features and ads. ImgBB feels outdated. Most alternatives either compress your images to death or delete them after 90 days. So I built what I actually wanted to use. What makes IMGBS different: šŸš€ Bulk upload — drag and drop up to 200 images at once. No waiting around uploading one at a time. šŸ“ Real album organization — create albums, bulk tag entire albums with one click, download albums as ZIP files. šŸŽØ 6 themes — Midnight, Daylight, Cyberpunk, Terminal, Sunset, and Arctic. Switch instantly from the dropdown. šŸŽ® Gamification — earn XP for uploading and engaging. Level up, unlock 24 achievements, compete on weekly and monthly leaderboards. Track your daily upload streak. āœļø Built-in image editor — crop, rotate, flip, adjust brightness/contrast/saturation, apply filters. No need to leave the site. ⚔ Burner uploads — set images to auto-delete after 1 hour, 24 hours, or up to 30 days. Perfect for temporary sharing. šŸ” SEO-first — every image gets clean URLs, structured data, sitemap entries, and proper meta tags. Your images actually show up in Google. āš™ļø Full admin dashboard — 15+ tabs covering images, users, storage, moderation, tags, reports, IP bans, and system health. Every feature can be toggled on or off. No ads. No forced compression. No account required for basic uploads. WebP conversion happens automatically. The whole thing runs on PHP/MySQL so it's dead simple to host. I built this solo over the past few weeks and I'm actively developing it. Would love to hear your feedback — what features would make you switch from your current image host?
