Frequently Asked Questions

Please report to [email protected] or [email protected] for images that violate the policy. We do not allow images of porn, sex, violence, drugs.

This site allows you to upload and share photos/images easily. It is a light-weight image sharing website. The aim of this project is to make image sharing simply easier, better! And it is free to use without having to register (sign-up).

Currently, there are two working servers we host all images on a VPS server now. (On 19/Nov/2014, rot47.net has been moved to VPS as well) but there are two versions: alpha and beta. The Alpha version refers to ROT47 Picture Gallery and the beta version is UploadBETA.com. We have gradually migrated from Alpha to Beta but both are still in use. It is recommended to upload images to Beta version since it is a faster server since it has a better/cleaner UI. Both Servers are accelerated by CloudFlare Content Delivery Network, which also helps to minimize the risks of DDos attacks.
Server1 = uploadbeta.com and Server2 = rot47.net (Readonly and discontinued)

We migrated the rot47.net server to West USA at 07/03/2017.

We support BMP, PNG, JPG and GIF.

Yes, when images are uploaded, the system will make various thumbnails of the pictures depending on the dimensions of the image. The thumbnail sizes from largest to smallest are 800, 500, 225 in the unit of pixels. The thumbnails will be created only if the dimension (width) is smaller than the original image width. The corresponding thumbnail URLs can be found under the image.

You could subscribe to the uploads easily by using RSS (Really Simple Syndication). You could choose any of the RSS Reader, e.g. Feedly.

• The RSS Feed for Alpha version is rot47.net/gallery-rss-feed/
• The RSS Feed for Beta version is uploadbeta.com/gallery-rss-feed/

You could also narrow the feeds by using key parameter, for example: uploadbeta.com/gallery-rss-feed/?key=sweet
Also, you could use the num parameter to limit the number of feed items, the default is 100.
uploadbeta.com/gallery-rss-feed/?num=200
Both parameters can be combined using & symbol, for example:
uploadbeta.com/gallery-rss-feed/?num=200&key=sweet

If you just want to subscribe to the latest photos (without categories or key tags), the following Feed Burn URL are [recommended]:
/out/uploadbeta
/out/rot47
