If you’ve ever worked with image uploads in your project, you’ve probably hit one of these pain points:
- Cloudinary-style pricing shock (paying for bandwidth + storage separately)
- Strict image size caps (10–20MB max on most APIs)
- Surprise overage bills when traffic spikes
- Auto-deletion of your uploads after a short time
That’s why we built the Simple Image Hosting API — a developer-first solution that’s flat-priced, predictable, and designed for real-world use cases.

Upload Images Hosting API
🖼️ Why This API?
Here’s what sets it apart from other image hosting APIs:
- Flat Pricing – Pay per request, no bandwidth billing.
- 35MB per image – Handle high-res photos, design assets, and screenshots without compression errors.
- No Auto-Delete – Unlike “temporary image hosts,” your uploads stay.
-
Flexible Uploads – Send images via:
- Binary file
- Base64 data
- A URL pointing to the image
⚡ Quick Example (Node.js)
Uploading an image via URL is as simple as one POST request:
const axios = require("axios");
async function uploadImage() {
const options = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://upload-images-hosting-get-url.p.rapidapi.com/upload',
headers: {
'x-rapidapi-host': 'upload-images-hosting-get-url.p.rapidapi.com',
'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
data: {
url: "https://example.com/your-image.png"
}
};
try {
const res = await axios.request(options);
console.log(res.data);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
}
uploadImage();
