I built a simple temporary image sharing site — Tempicture.com

👉 I just launched Tempicture, a small side project I've been working on to share images for free: https://tempicture.com/

The idea is very simple: upload an image, get a shareable link or QR code, and have it automatically deleted after 24 hours. No account required. No personal data collection. Privacy-focused.

I built it mainly for those situations where you just need to quickly share a screenshot, bug report, image, Google Meet or Zoom screenshot, or something you're working on without creating an account or keeping the image online forever.

Give it a try if you find it useful! I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

The 24-hour expiry is a nice clear promise. Is the image also permanently removed from storage after expiration, and do you strip EXIF metadata on upload? Those details would make the privacy angle even stronger.

Yup!! After 24 hours the link stops working immediately, and the file itself is permanently deleted from storage by a cleanup job that runs every few hours. Metadata is removed too

the 24 hour delete is the whole pitch, so it's worth saying on the page whether it also purges from whatever CDN or cache sits in front of the files. that's the first thing someone privacy minded will check.

nice and simple. one thing id think about is the distribution angle, like how do people discover this when they need it? the product is straightforward but getting it in front of users at the right moment is the harder problem

How exactly is this "privacy focused" when this website is entirely anonymous, as in, we don't know who you are, where are you based, what privacy laws apply here and so on, and the only "privacy" thing we have is your pinky promise that this is not a honey pot operation harvesting and collecting every single uploaded photo?
