## What it is
uPic is a native macOS menu bar application for uploading images and files to a variety of image hosting and object storage providers. It automatically uploads local files, clipboard contents, and screenshots, then copies a shareable URL (plain, HTML, or Markdown format) to the clipboard.

## Use cases
- upload screenshots to an image host and get a URL
- upload images to qiniu or aliyun oss for blogging
- get markdown image links for my blog posts
- drag and drop files to upload from the mac menu bar
- upload clipboard files with a global hotkey
- right-click upload from Finder
- upload images to github or sm.ms as a free image host

## When to choose
- you blog or chat on macOS and frequently need hosted image URLs
- you use Chinese cloud storage providers like Qiniu, Aliyun OSS, Tencent COS, or UPYUN
- you want screenshot-to-URL in one step with configurable link formats

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform or Windows/Linux uploader
- you want a GUI-heavy image editor rather than a simple uploader
- you are not on macOS
