PictShare

Self-hosted image hosting service with upload, sharing, and basic backup features.

About PictShare

PictShare is an open source, self-hosted image hosting platform that lets you upload, store, and share images and videos on your own server. It supports drag-and-drop uploads, URL pasting, and direct file uploads, all without requiring a database. The tool uses a simple directory-based file structure, which makes it easy to back up your media by copying folders.

The software runs on any Linux server with Apache or Nginx and PHP 7.1 or higher. It offers automatic thumbnailing, EXIF data removal for privacy, password protection for galleries, and a REST API for integration with other tools. PictShare is developed by Haschek Solutions and is available under the GNU AGPLv3 license.

This tool is ideal for developers, sysadmins, or anyone who wants full control over their image hosting without relying on third-party services. Since all files are stored flat in folders, you can use standard backup tools like rsync or rclone to copy everything to remote storage. It is free and open source.
