ImageShare

ImageShare is a lightweight web app for uploading and sharing images. It was originally designed as a replacement for the Nintendo 3DS Image Share Service, accessible through the Nintendo 3DS/2DS Browser, but it also works on many other basic/legacy web browsers. After the image upload, a QR code is provided to scan with another device.

Features

  • Uploads images to Imgur or ImgBB and creates a QR code for the link
  • Fast performance using server-side PHP code and no client-side JavaScript
  • Does not require account creation or a login
  • Compatible with many old and low-end web browsers¹ using either HTTP or HTTPS
  • Self-hostable on any server with Docker (see DEV.md)
  • Enhanced support for iOS, Windows Phone, and Windows 10 Mobile
  • Automatic game title detection for Nintendo 3DS uploads (example)

How to use

Just open theimageshare.com in your browser to access ImageShare. If your device can scan QR codes with a camera (press L + R buttons on 3DS home screen), scan the below code to open ImageShare.


Can't connect to ImageShare? Check that the date and time is correct on your device and try again.

Once you have ImageShare open, bookmark it (tap the star button on the 3DS) for easy access later. If your device supports the SSL certificate, you can use ImageShare over HTTPS instead of HTTP for added security.

Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

ImageShare uses Plausible Analytics to report anonymous usage data, including how many times the app is used and the browser/device used. Uploaded images are only stored on ImageShare servers until the upload to the third-party service is complete, then the copy on ImageShare is deleted. The QR code is generated using the goQR.me API, which requires sending the URL to goQR.me after upload.

Imgur uploads are subject to Imgur's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. ImgBB uploads are subject to ImgBB's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
