Pics
Simple service for quickly uploading and sharing images with a direct approach and no unnecessary friction.
Overview
Pics lets you send an image and quickly get a sharing link. The service is designed for straightforward visual sharing: screenshots, illustrations, photos or temporary images that you want to send without relying on a heavier platform.
It is a good entry point if you are looking for fast, lightweight and practical image hosting, with an interface that is simpler than a full gallery service or visual social network. It is based on Chevereto v4, and guest upload is allowed for simple sharing, while an account provides higher limits and more options for organizing your uploads.
