How to host an image and get a link
- 01
Upload an image or folder
A single image gets its own viewer page; a folder keeps its structure.
- 02
Copy the direct link
Use
https://yourname.statichero.site/image.pngin<img>tags, Markdown or email. - 03
Replace any time
Upload a new file with the same name to update it everywhere it’s embedded.
No compression surprises
Files are served byte-for-byte as you uploaded them.
Correct headers
Proper content types, ETags and caching so images load fast and embed reliably.
Galleries
Upload a folder with an index.html and you have a portfolio or press-kit page.
Hotlinking allowed
Embed your own images on any site, newsletter or document.
Image hosting for people who are tired of image hosts
Most free image hosts survive on ads, shrink your images, expire them silently, or wrap every link in a page full of banners. StaticHero is web hosting first: your images are files on your own site, served with the same reliability as any web page.
That makes it a good fit for product screenshots in a README, logos for an email signature, images for a forum post or assets for a Notion page.
Tips for fast images
Use WebP or AVIF for photos, SVG for logos and icons, and keep originals under a couple of megabytes. Files with a content hash in their name (e.g. hero.3f9a2c1d.webp) are cached by browsers for a year automatically.
Can I hotlink StaticHero images on other websites?
+
Yes — they’re your files. Just remember they count towards your site’s storage.
Is there a bandwidth limit?
+
Normal usage is included. Sites with exceptional traffic may be asked to upgrade, and our acceptable use policy prohibits using StaticHero as a CDN for third-party apps.
Can I host images privately?
+
Paid plans can password-protect a site, which also protects its images.
