Works on every site
Right-click an image on Unsplash, Twitter, Reddit, your company CMS - anywhere. No allowlist, no restrictions.
Works on Chrome · Edge · Brave · Opera
Right-click any image.
Get a share link instantly.
The PixelCore browser extension adds a right-click menu on every image and video on the web. One click uploads it to your PixelCore account and copies the share URL to your clipboard. Works anywhere.
Instant clipboard copy
The moment the upload finishes, your share link is on your clipboard. Paste into Discord, Slack, email, anywhere.
Public or private
Toggle per-upload whether it appears on your wall or stays link-only. Configured once, remembered forever.
Anonymous-friendly
No API key? Uploads still work. They land on the public Explore feed under "Anonymous".
Bearer-key signed
Authenticated uploads carry your Bearer key over HTTPS. Per-IP rate limiting prevents abuse.
No tracking, no analytics
The extension doesn't read pages passively. It only activates when you explicitly right-click something.
Setup in 4 steps
Under two minutes from install to your first upload.
1
Install the extension
Click the big Install PixelCore Extension button above. Chrome opens the Web Store - confirm with Add to Chrome.
On a network that blocks the Web Store? Grab the .zip,
go to chrome://extensions/, toggle Developer mode (top-right), click Load unpacked, and pick the unzipped folder.
2
Grab your API key (optional - anonymous works without one)
Sign in with Google - your key is created automatically the first time you sign in. Or skip this step entirely and use the extension anonymously.
3
Configure the extension
Click the PixelCore icon in your browser toolbar (pin it first via the puzzle icon if needed). A small settings panel opens - fill in:
- Base URL:
https://pixelcore.co.za - API key: paste the
pc_...key from step 2 (or leave blank for anonymous) - Public uploads: tick if you want uploads to appear on your wall
Click Save. That's it - you're configured.
4
Use it anywhere
Browse any website. Right-click an image - pick Upload to PixelCore. Within a second:
- A desktop notification says "PixelCore: uploaded - share link copied to clipboard."
- Your clipboard now holds the
https://pixelcore.co.za/p/{code}URL - Paste it anywhere (Discord, Slack, email, a tweet, a doc...)
Videos and media links work the same way - right-click and pick the matching menu item.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The extension is free, the PixelCore service is free, anonymous uploads are free. No card, no trial, no upsells.
What data does it collect?
Only what's strictly needed: your PixelCore API key (stored locally via chrome.storage.sync) and the URL of images you choose to upload. No browsing history, no analytics, no trackers. See the privacy policy for details.
Does it work on Firefox?
Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc) are supported today. A Firefox port is on the roadmap - the code is nearly identical, just a small manifest tweak.
Can I use my own self-hosted PixelCore?
Absolutely - that's the whole point. Change the Base URL in the extension settings to https://your-own-domain.com and generate an API key there. The extension never hardcodes any server.
How do I uninstall?
Open chrome://extensions/ - find PixelCore - click Remove. All data (API key, base URL) is wiped with the uninstall.
Does it work on mobile browsers?
Chrome Android doesn't support extensions. For iPhone / Android, use the PixelCore website instead - bookmark pixelcore.co.za and the upload zone on the home page works the same way.
