By default, only the administrator can use it. If you want others to be able to register: Go to Settings --> Roles --> Guest --> Edit, then grant the Register permission to the guest role.
After saving the role, the Register button will appear on the login page.
By default, Picsur compresses images to save space. If you wish to keep the original image:
- Go to Settings → General
- Enable the "Keep original image" option
- Note: The original image will not have EXIF information removed.
Picsur also provides a complete API. If you want to develop your own client or integrate it into other systems, you can refer to the official documentation. Basic operations like upload, fetch, and delete have corresponding endpoints.
Summary
Picsur is a very practical project, especially for users with some technical skills who want control over their own data. It doesn't have the many restrictions of some commercial image hosting services, and you don't have to worry about the service suddenly shutting down.
If you are looking for a reliable image host, why not try setting one up yourself.
