Photo Sharing Without AI Scanning
Mainstream photo services read your pictures. They run face recognition to group people, object detection to make them searchable, and — increasingly — use uploaded images as training data. share-pics.com does none of that. Your files are stored so they can be handed to whoever has the link, and then deleted.
Share photos now — no sign-up →How it works
- Upload the photos — They go straight to storage. Nothing runs a classifier, a face matcher, or a caption model over them on the way in.
- Set an expiry — Between 24 hours and 30 days. Add a password or an open limit if you want a tighter grip on it.
- Share the link — The recipient opens it in a browser. They are not asked to sign in, so nothing gets attached to an identity on their end either.
- The files are deleted — On expiry the photos are permanently removed — along with the access log for that link.
What "no AI" means here, precisely
It means the contents of your files are not inspected or analysed beyond what is needed to serve them back to you and your recipient. No face recognition. No object or scene tagging. No text extraction. No content-based search index. No use of your uploads as training data for any model.
This is written into the privacy policy rather than only into marketing copy, so it is a commitment you can point at, not a vibe.
Why photo services scan images in the first place
The features people like — "show me photos of Mum", "find that picture of a receipt", automatic albums — all require a model to look at every image you own and describe it. That is a fair trade if you want those features. It is a bad trade if you just wanted to send six photos to one person.
The scanning is also what makes those services awkward for anything sensitive: medical paperwork, documents with signatures, photos of children, images shared under an NDA. Once an image is indexed, it is part of a searchable corpus, and you are trusting the retention policy rather than the absence of the data.
What is recorded, honestly
Being straight about the parts that are not zero: when someone opens a link, the access is logged — IP address, country, browser string, referring page, and a timestamp — so the person who uploaded the file can see how often their link was opened and roughly from where. That log is tied to the link, not to an account, and it is deleted along with the file when the link expires.
What is never recorded is anything about what is in the photo. The distinction matters: the system knows a file was fetched, and does not know or care whether it is a wedding, a whiteboard, or a passport.
Common questions
- Are my photos used to train AI models?
- No. Uploaded files are not used as training data. They are stored to be served to whoever has the link, then permanently deleted when it expires.
- Is there face recognition or automatic tagging?
- No. There is no face detection, no face grouping, and no automatic tagging or labelling of image contents.
- Does anyone look at the files?
- The contents are not inspected or analysed beyond what is needed to store and serve them, as stated in the privacy policy.
- Are the photos searchable by what is in them?
- No. There is no content index. A file is reachable only through its randomly generated link.
- How long are they kept?
- Until the link expires — you choose between 24 hours and 30 days — or until you expire it early. Then they are permanently deleted.
