Picsur
A simple, fast, self-hosted image sharing service

Picsur is a self-hosted image hosting and sharing web app focused on fast uploads, clean direct links, and simple administration. It’s suited for individuals or small teams who want an Imgur-like experience under their own control, with a modern web UI and an API-oriented design.
Key Features
- Web-based uploads with shareable links for images
- Albums/collections to group images (where enabled/configured)
- Admin dashboard for instance management (users/settings/moderation)
- Configurable storage backend (local filesystem and common external/object storage options depending on deployment)
- Image processing for common formats and thumbnails/previews
- Authentication options suitable for private or semi-public instances
Use Cases
- Host and share screenshots for homelabs/IT teams via stable direct links
- Private image dropbox for a household or small group
- Lightweight alternative to public image hosts for embedding images in docs/issues
Limitations and Considerations
- Feature set is intentionally simpler than full photo-management suites (e.g., advanced tagging/search/face recognition)
- Some capabilities depend on deployment configuration (storage/reverse proxy/auth)
Picsur is a practical choice when you need straightforward image hosting with a modern interface and minimal overhead. It balances usability and control while staying focused on the core workflow of uploading, organizing, and sharing images.
