Agent-first image hosting with instant CDN URLs.

About PixelVault

PixelVault is an image hosting service built for developers and AI coding agents, offering an API-first workflow for registration, project setup, and uploads, with images served from a global CDN. It provides an OpenAPI 3.1 specification, an llms.txt file, and a CLI, along with a Claude Code plugin skill, positioning it for use with tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot, as well as any standard HTTP client. A desktop menu-bar app is also available, copying a hosted image URL to the clipboard from a screenshot or hotkey for use with cloud agents that cannot receive pasted images directly.

The service supports on-the-fly image transforms (resize, crop, format conversion to WebP/AVIF, blur, grayscale, rotation, watermarking) and AI-based background removal via URL query parameters, without a separate build pipeline. It offers a script/hook-based paste-and-host widget for adding image upload handling to a textarea in another application, and an export feature that packages all images in a project plus a manifest file into a tar archive for download from the dashboard or CLI.

Data is stored at rest in the EU, using Cloudflare R2 (EU) and an EU-based Postgres database, and the site states it uses cookieless analytics with no tracking cookies or consent banner. A free tier includes 200 MB storage, 500 uploads per month, and 1 GB bandwidth, requires no credit card, and has no trial expiry; the service states it charges no egress/bandwidth fees for serving images. It is built by RumboLabs.
