# PictShare
PictShare is an open source image hosting service with a simple resizing API
PictShare is an open source image hosting service with a simple resizing API that you can host yourself.
## Why would I want to host my own images?
If you own a server (even an home server) you can host your own PictShare instance so you have full control over your content and can delete images hasslefree.

## What's that about resizing?
Lets's say you have uploaded this image: ```https://www.pictshare.net/b260e36b60.jpg``` but you want to use it as your avatar in some forum that only allows 100x100 pixel images.
Instead of editing it yourself you just use ```https://www.pictshare.net/100x100/b260e36b60.jpg```
Lets's say you have uploaded this image:
![Venus](https://www.pictshare.net/b260e36b60.jpg)
URL: ```https://www.pictshare.net/b260e36b60.jpg```
But you want to use it as your avatar in some forum that only allows **100x100** pixel images.
Instead of editing it yourself you just edit the URL and add "/100x100/ before the image name like this: ```https://www.pictshare.net/100x100/b260e36b60.jpg```
![Smaller Venus](https://www.pictshare.net/100x100/b260e36b60.jpg)
Just by editing the URL and adding the size (in width**x**height) the image gets resized and the resized version gets cached to the disk so it loads much faster on the next request.
