## What it is
Slink is a self-hosted, open-source image sharing platform built with Symfony and SvelteKit that lets users upload, organize, and privately share images from their own server. It supports password-protected and expiring share links, collections, tags, guest uploads, ShareX integration, and local, SMB, or S3 storage backends.

## Use cases
- self-host an image sharing service instead of imgur
- host screenshots for github issues and pull requests
- share photos privately with password-protected links
- let artists showcase artwork on their own platform
- automatically upload screenshots with sharex
- run a private image gallery for a team or family
- replace third-party image hosts for privacy and control

## When to choose
- you want full control over image hosting, retention, and access without third-party services
- you need privacy-first sharing with password protection, expiring links, and per-link visibility
- you want ShareX integration and a public API for automated screenshot uploads
- you need multi-user support with SSO/OIDC authentication and admin moderation
- you want flexible storage backends including local, SMB, and S3-compatible storage

## When to avoid
- you need a fully public image host with anonymous browsing as the primary use case
- you want a managed, zero-maintenance solution rather than running Docker yourself
- you need video or general file hosting rather than images
- you require heavy image editing or processing beyond compression and format conversion
