Quick Start

Upload an image, get a shareable link. No account required.

Upload

Request
bash
curl -X POST "https://api.img.pro/v1/upload" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg"
Response
json
{
  "id": "abc123",
  "link": "https://img.pro/abc123",
  "extension": "jpeg",
  "width": 1920,
  "height": 1080,
  "filesize": 245678,
  "expires_at": 1706659200,
  "created_at": 1704067200,
  "upgrade": {
    "type": "register",
    "url": "https://img.pro/auth/register?from_cta=api",
    "message": "Sign up for permanent storage and 100 uploads/month",
    "label": "Create Account"
  }
}

Your image is live. The link is the canonical viewer page — copy it, share it, embed it. Add query params for transforms (see Transforms).

Import from a URL instead:

Request
bash
curl -X POST "https://api.img.pro/v1/import" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Same response shape — you get link, extension, dimensions, and the upgrade hint.

Anonymous uploads expire after 30 days, max 20 MB, and are rate-limited per IP. Sign up at img.pro for permanent storage, larger files, and higher limits.

Sign up & get a key

Create an account with your email, then create an API key from the dashboard. Use it on every request:

Request
bash
curl -X POST "https://api.img.pro/v1/upload" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F "caption=Hero shot from launch day"
Response
json
{
  "id": "abc123",
  "link": "https://img.pro/abc123",
  "caption": "Hero shot from launch day",
  "extension": "jpeg",
  "width": 1920,
  "height": 1080,
  "filesize": 245678,
  "created_at": 1704067200
}

Authenticated uploads land permanently on your account, organized however your dashboard groups them. Use caption for free-text descriptions.
