uploadless.me
Welcome to uploadless.me, the file hosting service that doesn't actually upload anything.
What can it do / how can I use it?
uploadless takes a file, calculates the base64 of it, and stores that as well as the files name in the browser URL.
This URL can then be sent to someone that when clicked will:
If the file is an image: display the image
If the file is not an image: download the file
What can't it do?
Handle files larger than ~1MiB. The site is made as a way to quickly send / recieve small files, NOT large files or (for the most part) images.
Produce short urls. If you wish to make the URLs generated shorter they will usually work with the most common URL shorteners. However, currently in the works are a URL compressor (which is written in Rust) and a URL shortener made specifically for uploadless.
