How to turn an image into a link
1.Pick the image
Drag it onto the box above or tap to choose one from your phone or computer. You'll see a preview before anything uploads.
2.Get the link
Tap Generate Link. When the upload finishes you get a short bulkshare.cloud address.
3.Paste it anywhere
Send it in a chat, an email, a comment or a text. Whoever opens it can download the full-size image without an account.
Your photo arrives the way you took it
Chat apps quietly shrink photos. WhatsApp and Messenger re-encode them, so the person on the other end gets a smaller, softer copy. A link sends the exact file you uploaded: same pixels, same colours, same metadata. JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF images under 8 MB show up right on the page, with a Download button for the full-size original. You also get a direct image URL that opens the picture itself. No ads, no sign-up wall, no app prompt.

Photo sizes at a glance
How big each kind of photo is per photo, and how much of it fits in a 25 MB email compared with one free 2 GB link.

What to know about each format
PNG
Best for screenshots, logos and anything with text. Photos saved as PNG are often five times bigger than the JPG.
HEIC
The iPhone default. Macs and iPhones open it, but many Windows PCs need an extra codec. Convert it to JPG first if you're unsure.
Convert HEIC to JPGWEBP
Small and sharp, and every browser opens it. Some older desktop apps and print shops won't.
RAW
CR3, NEF, ARW and DNG files need editing software to open. Send a JPG alongside it if the recipient just wants to look.
SVG
Not accepted on free links, because SVG files can carry scripts. Export a PNG instead.
When a link isn't the right tool
The link is the quickest way to get a photo to someone today. These jobs need something that lasts longer.
Embedding the image on a website
The direct image URL works for 24 hours, then breaks. That's fine for pasting into a form or an app, and wrong for a website or forum post. Use an image host for anything that has to stay up.
A whole album
One link holds one file. Put the photos in a ZIP first, or use BulkShare Pro to send a folder on one branded page.
Make a ZIPPhotos a client keeps for months
Free links last a day. BulkShare Pro links stay up as long as you want, on your own domain, and show you when they were opened.
