How can we help?
Most questions are answered below. If yours isn't, the email at the bottom is read by a real human.
Is PixelCore really free?
Anonymous uploads and basic share links are free, no signup required. Signing in (free) unlocks your wall, folders, albums, custom URLs, and password-protected shares.
What's the file size limit?
2 GB per file. Images go through Cloudflare Images (auto WebP/AVIF, edge caching). Videos go through Cloudflare Stream (HLS adaptive bitrate, instant playback). Everything else lands directly on R2 storage.
How long do uploads stay online?
Forever, unless you set an expiry on upload (1 hour / 24 hours / 7 days / 30 days). You can also delete any upload from your wall at any time.
Do you have a privacy mode?
Three modes per upload: Public (listed on Explore + your profile), Private (link-only, hidden from listings), and Anonymous (not attached to any account at all). All three support optional share passwords.
Can I use my own domain for share links?
Share links live on our custom domain: pixelcore.co.za/p/<code> for single items and pixelcore.co.za/s/<code> for albums.
How do I bulk-upload?
Drag a whole folder onto the upload zone on the home page. We auto-create matching folders on your wall and group the upload as a single album with a shared /s/<code> link.
Can I download a video from YouTube / Twitter / Instagram?
Yes. Sign in, paste the URL into the "Download from URL" panel on the home page. We use yt-dlp behind the scenes - works on 1800+ sites. The result lands on your wall like a normal upload.
Is there a Chrome / browser extension?
Yes — head to /install, download the .zip, drop it into chrome://extensions in Developer mode, and right-click any image or video to upload it. Your share link auto-copies the moment the upload completes.
Where can I report a bug or request a feature?
Email wentzel.dev@gmail.com — bugs get triaged within 24 hours. Include the share code (/p/<code>) for any item you're seeing the issue on; that's enough to reproduce it server-side.
Is there a public API?
Yes — every signed-in account has an API key. See the API reference for endpoints + curl/JS/Python examples. The Chrome extension uses the same endpoints, so anything it can do, your scripts can do.
How do I get my API key?
Sign in, then visit /install and click Reveal my API key on step 3 — or hit GET /v1/me/api-key. The key auto-generates on first request, and you can rotate it whenever.
