## What it is
Picsur is a self-hostable image sharing service similar to Imgur, built with TypeScript on Node.js and PostgreSQL. It supports uploading, converting, editing, and expiring images with user accounts, roles, and a ShareX endpoint.

## Use cases
- self-host an imgur alternative for image sharing
- upload and share screenshots via ShareX
- convert images between formats like webp, png, qoi
- strip exif metadata from uploaded images
- host expiring anonymous image uploads
- resize and rotate images before sharing

## When to choose
- you want a private, self-hosted Imgur-like image host
- you need built-in image conversion and editing on upload
- you want anonymous uploads with expiring links and exif stripping

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained project with active bug fixes (it is explicitly unmaintained)
- you need albums, a public gallery, or light mode
- you need large file hosting beyond modest image sizes

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: image-processing, file-upload, self-hosted, web-framework
- domain: image-processing, self-hosted, web-development, media
