- limits note: 32 MB/image via API (binary, base64, or image URL). Optional 'expiration' 60-15,552,000 s. The anonymous upload endpoint needs a session token, so automation must use the API-key path.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: Official API v1 at api.imgbb.com — POST multipart or GET with base64/URL, single 'key' param. ShareX, PicGo and Flameshot all ship ImgBB destinations.
- composes with: Unlimited free accounts, each with its own API key. Each upload returns a delete_url, so per-file turnover is scriptable.
- reliability: No re-compression documented and large JPEGs survive byte-for-byte. No inactivity deletion. Long Cache-Control (10y) means deletions propagate slowly.
- notes: the same as the free tier
