# OpenVibe.Pics: share and embed pictures with a link

HTML: [OpenVibe.Pics: share and embed pictures with a link](https://openvibe.pics/)

# Share pictures. Discover something new.

Drop a picture, get a link to share or embed anywhere: on a forum, in a chat, on your site. Browse what people chose to publish, or keep yours unlisted. Location and camera details are removed from every file.

Sign in to upload

Your OpenVibe account keeps your pictures and albums together, so you can delete them whenever you like.

[Sign in with OpenVibe](/auth/login?next=%2F)

## Discover pictures

Pictures people chose to share with everyone. An upload stays out of the gallery until its owner publishes it.

Search pictures and tags 

The gallery is waiting for its first picture

Upload a picture, then choose Publish to gallery on its page. Until you do, it stays out of the gallery.

[Your pictures](/mine)

The hidden data is removed by us: your picture arrives with its GPS position, its camera and the time it was taken, and we take all of it out before anyone sees the picture. [How that works](/exif).

## How it works

1. **Drop a picture**Choose, drag or paste JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP or AVIF, up to 20 MB. Several at once works too.
2. **Get your links**A page to share, a direct link, and Markdown, BBCode and HTML ready to copy.
3. **Publish when you want**A picture stays out of the gallery until you publish it there. Then it is findable, countable and indexable.
4. **Use it anywhere**Post it in a forum or a chat, embed it on your site, or put it in an album. Delete it whenever you like.

## What you get

**Links that work everywhere** A page to share, a direct link for an img tag, and Markdown, BBCode and HTML ready to copy.

**Your audience choice** Choose Everyone, anyone with the link, specific people, or only you. Nothing is listed, ranked or indexed without you.

**Clean files** Every picture is re-encoded, and its GPS position, camera serial and other hidden details are removed before anyone sees it.

**Albums** Put pictures together and share the album with one link.

**Any size, any format** Every picture also comes at 320 to 2560 pixels wide, as WebP, AVIF, JPEG or PNG, each with a link of its own.

**Alt text** Say what a picture shows for people who cannot see it, or let AI draft it when you ask. It goes into every embed snippet.

## The links a picture gets

Each picture has a short name of eight letters and digits. These are the links it answers at:

**Its page** https://openvibe.pics/i/<name>

**The picture itself, in the format you uploaded** https://openvibe.pics/i/<name>.jpg

**Another width or format** https://openvibe.pics/i/<name>/w/640.avif

**Markdown, with your alt text** !\[alt text\](https://openvibe.pics/i/<name>.jpg)

## Upload from your own app

The API takes the picture as the request body, with an OpenVibe sign-in token, and answers with its links.

## Questions

Is OpenVibe.Pics free?

Yes. A free OpenVibe account can upload 200 pictures a day, each up to 20 MB, and keep up to 5 GB.

Who can see my pictures?

You choose who can open a picture when you upload it. Everyone is the default; you can choose anyone with the link, specific people, or only you. The public gallery is a separate opt-in on the picture page.

What is removed from my pictures?

Everything hidden in the file: the GPS position, the camera and the rest of its metadata. Your picture is decoded and saved again without any of it before anyone sees it, and the file you uploaded is not kept.

Which files can I upload?

JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP or AVIF, animated GIF and WebP included. SVG and other formats are refused, so nothing is ever served as it was uploaded.

Can I get a different size or format?

Yes. Every picture has links at 320, 640, 1280, 1920, 2560 pixels wide as WebP, AVIF, JPEG or PNG, made when first asked for.

What is not allowed?

Anything illegal, sexual content shared without consent, harassment, other people's private information, and spam. Every picture has a Report form, a child-safety report hides it at once, and copyright owners can use the DMCA page.

## What we promise, in writing
