Temporary Image Upload — Upload, Share, Auto-Delete in 7 Days
Upload an image just for the moment you need it. Drop or paste a picture, copy the link, send it, and let it expire on its own. No account and no storage to manage. Free, up to 5 MB.
Also the right tool if you searched temp image upload, temporary photo upload, or upload image temporarily. It is the same drop-and-go flow.
A temporary image upload is a one-off upload meant for a single task, not a permanent file you keep. On imagepaste.org you paste or drop the image, get a short URL in under 5 seconds, and the file auto-deletes after 7 days. No account, no email, free, up to 5 MB in JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP.

Try it now ↑- 01
Open imagepaste.org
Any browser, one tab. There is no account to make and nothing to install. The page is ready to receive an upload the instant it loads.
- 02
Drop, paste, or pick the file
Drag the image onto the page, press Ctrl+V if you just copied it, or tap to open the file picker on a phone. JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP up to 5 MB all work.
- 03
Trim it if needed
For a receipt or a marketplace photo you usually upload as-is. If a corner shows an address, an order number, or a name you do not want shared, drag the crop handles to cut it out before you confirm.
- 04
Copy the short URL
A random, unguessable URL appears with a one-click copy button. Paste it into the chat, form, or DM that needs it. The recipient opens it with no login or account.
- 05
Walk away
There is no dashboard to revisit and no reminder to delete anything. The upload clears itself after 7 days, so a one-time share never turns into a forgotten file sitting in a cloud folder.
Why a temporary image upload beats a permanent one
Most of the time the picture you are about to send matters for minutes, not years. A receipt for a refund, a marketplace photo for one buyer, a screenshot of a one-time code. None of those belong in a permanent gallery tied to your name. A temporary image upload matches that reality: you push the file up, hand over the link, and the upload deletes itself after 7 days. There is no account quota filling up, your Downloads folder does not collect screenshot-7.png, and no profile feed quietly publishes what you shared. Because nothing persists past the task, a temporary image upload also means less to forget about and less to clean up. When you genuinely need the file forever, keep your own copy instead.
What kinds of images are worth uploading temporarily
Anything you would send once and never reference again is a good fit. Think a photo of a receipt for an expense claim, a snapshot of a delivered package for a refund dispute, a marketplace listing photo a buyer asked to see up close, or a quick capture of a one-time verification code you need to relay to a teammate. These are upload-and-forget moments. You do not want them indexed in Google Photos, attached to an imgur profile, or living in a shared Drive folder a year from now. Drop the file here, send the link, and the 7-day auto-delete handles the rest. For anything you might need again, save a local copy alongside the URL before you close the tab.
Drop-and-go upload
Drag a file, paste with Ctrl+V, or tap to pick. The upload runs in under 5 seconds. No account screen sits between you and the link.
Auto-delete after 7 days
Every upload removes itself a week later. You never have to come back and tidy up, and a one-off share does not become a permanent file.
No signup, no email
No account, no verification, no inbox confirmation. The upload form is the entire product. Open it and use it.
Unguessable share link
Each upload gets a random ID, so the URL is not enumerable, not indexed, and not listed in any public feed.
Optional quick crop
Cut an order number, an address, or a name out of the corner before you confirm. The crop stays non-destructive until you upload.
Works on phone and desktop
Snap a receipt on your phone and upload it on the spot, or paste a screenshot on a laptop. Same flow on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
Uploading a receipt for a refund
Support asks for a photo of your receipt to process a refund. Snap it, upload it temporarily, paste the URL into the chat. Once the refund clears the link stops mattering, and you did not need the receipt photo cluttering your camera roll forever.
Showing a marketplace buyer one more angle
A buyer on Facebook Marketplace or Kleinanzeigen wants a closer look before committing. Upload the extra photo temporarily and drop the link in the DM. After the item sells, the upload expires on its own, with no listing photos lingering in your cloud timeline.
Relaying a one-time code to a teammate
A vendor portal shows a one-time access code on screen and a colleague needs it now. Capture it, upload temporarily, send the link, and let it auto-delete. A short-lived code does not deserve a permanent home anywhere.
Sending proof of a delivered package
A courier left a parcel and the seller wants a photo to confirm condition before issuing a partial refund. Upload the snapshot temporarily, paste the URL into the support thread, and forget it. The dispute closes and so does the relevance of the file.
What is a temporary image upload? +
A temporary image upload is a one-time upload meant for a single task rather than long-term storage. You push a picture up, share the link, and the file clears itself after 7 days. On imagepaste.org there is no account or email involved, so it suits receipts, marketplace photos, and other send-once moments.
How long does a temporary upload last before it deletes? +
Seven days, then it is automatically removed. That covers the typical minutes-to-days window a one-off share needs. Plan around the expiry: if you might want the image again, save a local copy before the week is up, because there is no way to recover it after deletion.
Do I need an account to upload an image temporarily? +
No. There is no signup, no email confirmation, and no login wall. You open the page, drop or paste the file, and copy the URL. The upload form is the whole product, which is what keeps a quick one-off share genuinely quick.
Can the person I send the link to open it without signing in? +
Yes. The URL opens the image directly in any browser with no login, captcha, or prompt. That is different from a Drive or Dropbox share, which can ask the recipient to sign in even for a public link, especially inside a work account.
What file size and formats can I upload temporarily? +
Up to 5 megabytes per image, in JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP. A phone photo of a receipt is usually well under that. If you go over, resize to about 2000 pixels on the long edge or re-save as JPEG at quality 85 to bring it down without visible loss.
Can I delete a temporary upload before the 7 days are up? +
There is no per-upload delete button because there is no account to verify ownership against. The simplest control is to stop sharing the URL, since a link does not spread on its own. If a specific upload must come down early, contact the site operator with the URL and the reason.
Is a temporary image upload private? +
Your upload is not tied to a profile and never appears in a public gallery or trending feed. The share link uses a random, unguessable ID and the share page sends noindex headers. Treat it as anyone-with-the-link access: private from search and browsing, but viewable by whoever you hand the URL to.
Why upload temporarily instead of using Google Photos or Drive? +
Those are storage products built to keep files forever and tie them to your account. For a receipt or a one-time code that matters for a day, the quick upload here is faster and does not pile up in a folder you will never reopen. The auto-delete means you skip the cleanup entirely.
