ImgBB is a free image hosting and sharing platform with a REST API for uploading images, retrieving shareable links, managing expiration, and accessing image metadata. Supports binary file upload, base64-encoded data, and image URLs up to 32 MB. The API returns direct image links, viewer page URLs, thumbnail URLs, and delete URLs in JSON.
