Are you a photographer or media creator looking for a reliable, privacy-focused platform to host your images, gifs, and mp4s? PictShare might be exactly what you need.

PictShare is an open-source platform that allows you to host your own media files while maintaining full control. It offers unique features that are particularly beneficial for photographers and media creators. For instance, you can generate identicons based on strings in the URL or create placeholder images by specifying the size in the URL.

One of the standout features of PictShare is its commitment to privacy. Upon upload, PictShare automatically removes all exif data, including GPS tags and camera model info. This means you can safely upload photos from your phone without worrying about unintentionally sharing sensitive information.

PictShare also recently added support for external storage, giving you even more flexibility and control over how and where your files are stored.

If you're a photographer or media creator who values control, flexibility, and privacy, consider giving PictShare a try.
