Slink

Slink is a self-hosted image sharing platform built with Symfony and SvelteKit that gives you complete control over your images and share links. It's positioned as a private alternative to public image hosts like Imgur: upload images to your own instance and share them with a link — without relying on third-party services.

Yes. All shares are private by default and only accessible to whoever holds the link. You can optionally require a password to view a share, set an expiration so a link auto-revokes after a chosen time, shorten URLs for easier sharing, or group images into a collection shared via a single link.

Yes. Slink is distributed as a single container that bundles the web server, database, and image processing, which makes deployment dramatically simpler. Storage can be local filesystem, SMB, or Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible). It supports email/password login plus SSO/OIDC providers such as Google, Authentik, Keycloak, Authelia, and Pocket ID.

Slink supports PNG, JPG, WEBP, SVG, BMP, ICO, GIF, AVIF, HEIC, and TIFF, with parallel multi-file uploads, progress tracking, image compression, and deduplication that detects duplicate images at upload time. It integrates with ShareX for automatic screenshot uploads and offers a public API with personal API keys for automation.

Yes, Slink is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license and available on GitHub. There is no paywall or required cloud service — you can run it entirely on your own infrastructure. It also includes an admin dashboard with user/storage management, image moderation, nested tags, bookmarks, comments, and notifications for community use.

Slink is a great fit for private image sharing among friends, family, or a team; hosting screenshots for GitHub issues, portfolios, or blogs; or as a self-hosted replacement for public image hosts. Its community features (explore, bookmarks, comments) also make it suitable for small image-sharing communities.
