Photo Sharing Without Tracking
Every mainstream way of sending a photo comes with an audience you did not invite: ad networks, embedded pixels, a platform building a profile from who you send things to. share-pics.com does not carry any of that. There are no advertising cookies, no ad tech, and nothing on this site is monetised by knowing who you are.
Share photos now — no sign-up →How it works
- Upload without identifying yourself — No account, no email, no phone number. There is no identity for behaviour to be attached to in the first place — that is the part most services get wrong.
- Set an expiry — From 24 hours to 30 days, with an optional password or a cap on how many times the link opens.
- Send the link — Whoever opens it is not asked to sign in, so no profile is created on their end either. No ad network is told they clicked it.
- Everything is deleted — When the link expires, the files go — and so does the access log tied to them.
What is not here
No advertising cookies. No ad network tags, no retargeting pixels, no conversion trackers, and no social platform embeds. Nothing on this site follows you to the next one, because there is no advertising business behind it to fund.
Your uploads are never sold, licensed, or shared with a third party, and they are never used as training data. There is no content index — a file is reachable only through its randomly generated link, and nothing analyses what is inside it.
No third-party analytics
Being specific rather than sweeping: there is no third-party analytics on this site. No session recording, no product-analytics tag, no heatmaps — nothing that ships what you do here to another company's servers. The pages load their own code and nothing else.
That is a stronger guarantee than masking. A masked recording still leaves the site, still lands in a vendor's dashboard, and still depends on the mask having been configured correctly and staying that way. There is nothing to configure here, because there is nothing being sent.
The one thing recorded is the access log on your own links, described below — first-party, tied to the link rather than to a person, and deleted with the file. That is the honest version of "no tracking": not a claim that zero code runs anywhere, but that nothing about you leaves this site.
What the access log records
When someone opens one of your links, the visit is logged — IP address, country, browser string, referring page, timestamp. That exists so the person who uploaded the file can see how often their link was opened and roughly from where, and for nothing else. It is not used for advertising or profiling.
The log is tied to the link rather than to a person, because there are no accounts to tie it to. It is permanently deleted along with the file when the link expires.
Why a link tracks less than a platform
On a social or cloud platform, sending a photo is an event on two identities: yours and the recipient's. It feeds recommendations, a social graph, and often an ad profile. The photo itself gets indexed so it can be searched, which means it has to be read.
A one-off expiring link has none of that structure to feed. Nobody signed in, so there is no graph. Nothing was indexed, so nothing was read. When the link dies, the record dies with it — which is a stronger privacy guarantee than a retention policy, because the data is simply not there any more.
Common questions
- Do you use advertising or tracking cookies?
- No. There are no advertising cookies, ad network tags, retargeting pixels, or social embeds. The site is not funded by advertising.
- Can the analytics see my photos?
- There is no third-party analytics on the site — no session recording or product-analytics tag runs at all, so there is nothing that could capture a photo or a password. The only visitor data recorded is the access log on your own links (country, browser, timestamp), which never includes file contents and is deleted when the link expires.
- Are my photos sold or shared with anyone?
- No. Uploaded files are not sold, licensed, shared with third parties, or used as training data. They are stored to be served to whoever has the link, then deleted.
- Is anything logged when someone opens my link?
- Yes, and it is worth being clear about: IP address, country, browser string, referrer, and a timestamp are recorded so you can see how often your link was opened. It is tied to the link rather than to a person, and it is deleted when the link expires.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is no sign-up, so there is no identity for any of this to be attached to.
