Apologies for the lost images in the last day or so. An underlying host has been auto-deleting images uploaded via pic8 lately, prior to pic8's actions to ensure redundant hosts.

The host in question has been disabled on pic8's side.

If you have any accountless image upload hosts, please post them below.

Saw someone use this host recently elsewhere: https://pasteboard.co/

It says that it "supports images of the formats JPEG, PNG, GIF, APNG and TIFF up to 10MB" and other features on it.

I haven't used it, just noting it. I don't know if it meets your needs or if it is a shitty/kiked host or not or if you've already checked them out.

Thank you very much. This is appreciated

Glad to help. I'll keep an eye open for others I see being used.

Out of curiosity. Why not host your own?

Money. Cannot possibly scale a free image host to 100k+ images without it costing an arm and a leg.

Money

I assumed.

I was thinking smaller. More like an object storage service (S3). In the case a link does go down you could push the image to a new server from storage. That way you wouldn't have to pay for the bandwidth to actually serve each image. Just a thought.

Definitely a good thought. Two problems, your specific example of s3 is a no-no because AWS. To setup my own cheap FS server would be a more cost effective solution; however, it still runs afoul of one detail: the actual files would be stored on pic8's servers, which introduces liability.
