Picsur

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.
