Deploy PictShare
PictShare is a lightweight, file-based media sharing platform. It supports images, GIFs, videos (MP4), text files (like Pastebin), and URL shortening – all self-hosted with no database, no tracking, and full control over your content.
📤 Upload anything. Stay in control. No accounts. No bloat.
Guest project runs for 1 hour. Log in to save and extend to 5 days.
