Need to find a URL solution

[DancingKing2]

I need a way to create URLs for photos I have on my PC. I want to be able to share them with others.

Not a problem. Here are some free hosts

• Imgur
• Gifyu
• imgBB

Thanks

Keep in mind that Imgur has caved to the demands of anti-porn groups and banned all NSFW content from its platform.

Uh, that's only if you post them publicly. Don't post them to UserSub and you're good. You have a choice to post publicly or not to. I have all my filthy art hidden on Imgur.

To clarify, if you post it publicly, EVERYONE can see it. If you post it as hidden, the only way to view it is to know the exact URL for the image, so no one is gonna accidentally find it unless you WANT them to.

It seems they’re even getting rid of Hidden photos.

I use GYAZO. It's free, but the free version only lets you use the 10 most recent screen grabs. There is an upside, in that if you have the link to the 11+ older pics saved or posted somewhere, you can still link them and the link will lead to the pic, but you can't pull them up on your GYAZO gallery any longer. All of this can be solved by paying for the service with no limits, but I'm assuming you're looking for free.

Is that so? Well shit, I guess I'll have to find an alternative for my art. This is rather depressing, as Imgur was so good and easy to use. :/

Discord to the moon, baby!

Well, I found an alternative called lensdump that seems pretty promising. Free, allows hotlinking, and NSFW stuff. Requires an account but it suits my needs perfectly so I figured I'd throw that into the suggestions here.

Also, it doesn't force-convert images, which is IMPORTANT for not getting art butchered by jpeg conversion.

This isn't the best way to get a URL for NSFW images, but here's how I do it. For this to work, you need to have the gif or image saved to your computer.

1. Go Google Reverse Image Search

2. Upload the image you need the URL for and click 'Find Image Source'. This works for gifs and NSFW as well

3. Here you go - a populated list of valid URLs to choose from

Google isn't the best at searching for anime, hentai. Use SauceNAO for those ones.
