## Facts

- Each file can be up to 2 GB. Per IP address: up to 60 uploads an hour, 300 a day and 2 GB a day in total; saving an edit counts as an upload. The same limits apply on the website, in the apps and through the API.
- No sign-up and no watermark. Photos and videos keep their original quality; videos are not re-encoded, except AV1 and VP9 MP4 videos, which are converted to H.264 at the same size so they play on every device.
- GPS location is removed from photos and phone videos before they go online.
- Every upload gets a short link (a page with a preview) and a long link (the file itself, with its name).
- Photos can be rotated, cropped, blurred (whole photo or an area), given text and shape layers, resized (to a file size in KB, pixels, megapixels or one-click social media sizes such as LinkedIn banner 1584×396, Facebook cover 1640×624, Instagram post 1080×1350) and given black & white or sepia filters; the original stays unchanged.
- HEIC photos from iPhone are converted to JPG in the browser.
- Photos can be enhanced in one tap, turned into PDF (A4 or photo size, several photos in one PDF), scanned (a photo of a page is straightened and cleaned, then saved as JPG or PDF) and cropped to passport, visa and CV photo sizes (35×45 mm, 2×2 in, 3×4 cm).
- Photos can be compressed to a file size in KB, converted between JPG, PNG and WebP in the browser, cropped to a square or a circle, partly blurred or pixelated (faces, number plates), and given text or a watermark; Info shows the camera, settings and date taken (the location only to the uploader).
- Videos can be trimmed, cropped (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9), rotated, sped up or slowed down, reversed or made into a boomerang, muted or given an even loudness, compressed to a file size (for example 16 MB or 25 MB), saved as MP3 (sound only) or as a GIF; the original stays unchanged.
- Programs and scripts (.exe, .msi, .bat, .apk and similar) are not accepted, not even inside ZIP files.
- Videos and photos can be downloaded from public posts on X, Instagram and Facebook, and files from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and direct links; downloaded files are deleted after one hour.

## API for AI agents

- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, no key): https://basepic.com/mcp — tools upload_image, edit_image, get_image, delete_image.
- REST: POST https://basepic.com/api/v1/images (a form: curl -F "image=@photo.jpg", no key; JSON {"url"} or {"image_base64"}; or the image as the body), POST /api/v1/images/{id}/edit (JSON {"operations": [{"op": "rotate", "degrees": 90}, {"op": "grayscale"}], "max_kb": 200}), GET and DELETE /api/v1/images/{id}.
- Operations: rotate, flip, crop, resize, grayscale, sepia, brightness, contrast, warm, cool, invert, blur, sharpen. Edits create a new image; the original stays unchanged.
- Every image has page_url (share this), image_url (direct image) and download_url.
- No-code tools (n8n, Make, Zapier): an HTTP request step sends POST /api/v1/images as multipart/form-data with the file in the field image, or JSON {"url"}; the direct link is image_url. Post schedulers and the Instagram API take image_url (the file itself, no redirect); the Instagram API accepts only JPEG, so convert with POST /api/v1/images/{id}/edit and {"format": "jpeg"}.
- OpenAPI: https://basepic.com/openapi.json · Docs: https://basepic.com/developers (as Markdown: https://basepic.com/llms-full.txt)
- ShareX: a ready custom uploader at https://basepic.com/sharex (screenshots go to POST /api/v1/images, the image as the body).
- Firefox add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/basepic-upload-image-get-link/ (right-click an image, choose Upload to BasePic; the short link is copied).
