Terms and Conditions

The service and its operator

These terms apply to ChatPic.co.uk, run by Rizwan Aslam, and to the image-sharing tool available on this website. Contact Media.finixiodigital@gmail.com if you have a question about these terms.

ChatPic.co.uk provides an upload interface and practical articles about image sharing. It is independent of the former ChatPic.org and of separately operated apps or websites with similar names. It does not provide access to another service’s accounts, original infrastructure or archives.

Before uploading, read these terms, the Privacy Policy and the hosting provider’s Terms of Service. The tool does not require a ChatPic account, but provider eligibility and content rules still apply. ImgBB currently requires users to be at least 18.

Your permission to upload

You remain responsible for deciding whether you can upload and share an image. Owning a file on your device does not necessarily give you copyright or another person’s permission to distribute it. Obtain permission from the rights holder and from people shown where their consent is required.

By requesting an upload, you authorise the processing necessary to validate your file, send it to ImgBB and return the image link. This authorisation does not transfer ownership of your original image to ChatPic. The hosting provider’s own terms govern the rights you grant that provider.

Keep an original local copy. ChatPic is a sharing convenience, not a backup service, records archive or guaranteed permanent image store.

Uploads and activity that are prohibited

• Unlawful images or material that infringes copyright, privacy or another person’s rights.
• Sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate images or images used for threats, extortion or harassment.
• Passwords, access tokens, payment information, identity documents or other confidential information you are not authorised to disclose.
• Malicious files, disguised file types or attempts to bypass format validation, service limits or abuse-prevention controls.
• Automated misuse, unlawful distribution or any material prohibited by the image-hosting provider.

Do not upload an image to test whether illegal or harmful content will be accepted. A publicly reachable image URL is unsuitable for confidential material. Use an appropriate service with verified recipient access controls when confidentiality is necessary.

Features, limits and availability

The current interface supports JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP images, up to three images in a batch. The application ceiling is 10 MB per file and 24 megapixels; server settings can impose a lower file limit. The limit displayed by the uploader applies to your request.

The service can return direct URLs, Markdown and BBCode formats, with a QR code for convenient sharing. Formatting and preview behaviour are controlled by the destination service. The uploader does not provide passwords, view-count limits, private rooms, one-view access or an image-view analytics dashboard.

Optional metadata removal creates a new supported image copy in your browser. Re-encoding can change quality or size, and animated PNG/WebP becomes a still image. GIF is sent unchanged. Review the preview and keep the original.

Availability depends on the ChatPic website, its hosting and ImgBB. Rate limits, validation, maintenance or provider errors can prevent an upload. A working link today is not a guarantee that it will remain accessible indefinitely.

Expiry and image removal

Expiry settings request a timed deletion from ImgBB. A time limit does not limit the number of views and does not erase copies already saved, forwarded or captured by a recipient. No scheduled expiry means no timer is requested; it is not a permanent-hosting commitment.

If the result supplies a provider deletion link, save it privately and follow the provider’s deletion process when you want removal. Do not send that management link with the image. Lost management links, provider outages, caches and third-party copies can limit what a removal request achieves.

To report an image, use Contact and Image Reports and provide the exact image URL, the issue and a safe reply address. We can review reports concerning our website and facilitate communication about an upload. The hosting provider controls the hosted file; a report is not a guarantee of universal deletion.

Articles and external services

Articles explain practical image-sharing questions and are not a personalised legal, security or data-protection assessment. Check current provider rules before using a third-party feature. Mentioning a separately operated service does not make it a ChatPic product or establish an affiliation.

Commercial relationships in contributed articles should be clearly disclosed. A sponsored contribution does not change the acceptable-use rules for uploads. External websites have their own terms, privacy practices and availability.

Changes, restrictions and statutory rights

We may update the interface, supported features or these terms as the service changes. We may reject or restrict requests that violate these rules or threaten the operation of the service. Read the current terms before an upload, especially when the way an image is processed matters to you.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude liability or remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Questions or disputes about a specific use of the service should be raised through the contact page.
