I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing.
I'm happy to pay $1/mo, but when I tried to upload https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9ec8d13de2878c899fda0bd43e4509d8eda0e59c686ff0c20b7b120176adb9b1/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4e79677a6945642e676966 https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9ec8d13de2878c899fda0bd43... I got this, which doesn't look like what I uploaded: https://cln.sh/4coS9T https://cln.sh/4coS9T / https://imgz.org/i5qphFzd.gif https://imgz.org/i5qphFzd.gif
- stavros 5y agoWell that's extremely odd, I will look into that right now. EDIT: This is very odd, I'm not really doing any processing on the uploaded files, so it should definitely return the originals. I will have this fixed soon though. EDIT2: Unfortunately, the saved image in the DB itself is corrupt, so you will need to reupload after I solve this. EDIT3: Alright this should be fixed! Now I can start submitting animated GIFs there. EDIT4: Ironically, now ONLY animated GIFs work, because 2am is when I do some of my best work. Stand by...
- silisili 5y agoSame for me. I tried uploading this test image - https://bhi61nm2cr3mkdgk1dtaov18-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/cc_resize/pig_thm-050b9-550x0.jpg https://bhi61nm2cr3mkdgk1dtaov18-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-... (dont ask, lol) and the uploaded image was a negative of it.
- stavros 5y agoThat one worked for me: https://imgz.org/i4mdbiQL.jpg https://imgz.org/i4mdbiQL.jpg
- silisili 5y agoSorry I may have been dishonest there. I downloaded it from the google search results directly, perhaps this link- https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTFsEM5a7caZcxlKhRP-CmUm_1gO4BjMJn4eA&usqp=CAU https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTFsEM5... it resulted in https://imgz.org/i5Q2gzwB.png https://imgz.org/i5Q2gzwB.png
- stavros 5y agoHm, very odd that the type wasn't detected properly. The animated GIF issue is because of EXIF stripping ruining the image, though. I'm fixing that now.
- sverhagen 5y agoIt seems like you're still dealing with some pretty rudimentary issues here.
- sieabah 5y agoHe threw it together in 2 days according to what's written on the website. It literally has no semblance of trying to be a long term long running replacement to imgur. Just a dead simple image upload service that works from the CLI.
- stavros 5y agoI did throw it together in two days, two years ago! I don't know why this image failed, when I tried it it worked. Animated GIFs were failing because I don't use them so I'd never tested on them. It's fixed now, though.
- jpomykala 5y agoYou said, no support. Why do you even care? F*k this guy. Delete his account. /s
- stavros 5y agoHey, I use this thing, it has to work.
- jrs235 5y agoIt only has to work for you! Did/do you need/use animated gifs?
- ackbar03 5y agoyea fk tht guy
- stavros 5y agoDon't tell me what to do! I want to fix animated gifs and I'll fix animated gifs!
- brianshaler 5y agoPer the edits on your previous posts, I read this more as "and I'll pivot to only supporting animated gifs!"
- 6510 5y agoFast support.
- pkulak 5y ago> saved image in the DB Whoa now... you're putting images in the database?
- stavros 5y agoYes, it's a database. That's where you're meant to put DATA.
- debarshri 5y agoHow about filesystem or object storage? That where you meant to put a FILE which is what the user uploaded.
- dsr_ 5y agoIf IMGZ was a file sharing service it would be called FILZ or something. Obviously this is not that.
- noobgrammer 5y agoAnd if it were a hotel it could just be called ZZZ.
- jasode 5y ago>Yes, it's a database. That's where you're meant to put DATA. Most (all?) large-scale high-volume image storage architectures I'm aware of do not store billions of images as blobs in a database. Instead, they typically store the images as files. The database only holding metadata info and a pointer to the image filename location (or url if using AWS S3 or CDN). E.g. Facebook is one of the largest MySQL sites (if not the largest) and they don't store photos directly in MySQL.
- stavros 5y agoI'm joking, but the volume for IMGZ is way too low (and always will be) for data storage to matter.

- stavros 5y agoThis is hereby declared a feature.
- romwell 5y ago>I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. If you are willing to pay for things, then any good old web host + FTP are your friends.
- statico 5y agoThat sounds like a lot of work. Why not just push my screenshots to good ol' NNTP?
- mattowen_uk 5y agoBecause downloading a tiny GIF in 20 parts, is always fun. /s
- tinus_hn 5y agoAnd it’s only accessible for paying users for about a year, slightly more or less according to how much they pay and how much is uploaded by the rest of the internet…
- jrochkind1 5y agoThat sounds really out-dated. Why not put the screenshots on a blockchain?
- aabbcc1241 5y agoOr ipfs if your machine is often online
- romwell 5y agoAgain, straight up running an FTP server on your machine is still the easiest way to transfer large files. Also faster than uploading to the cloud, and then having the other party download it.
- yobert 5y agoBug? Or feature?

- iab 5y agoMint that NFT RIGHT NOW
- stavros 5y agoIMGZ created this, IMGZ owns the copyright. IMGZ has a will of its own.
- woko 5y agoThere is ImgBB. You need to create an account, but it is free. https://imgbb.com/ https://imgbb.com/
