The Ultimate Image Uploader for Efficient Creators
📖 Overview
PicGo aims to make image uploading a seamless part of your creative workflow.
Whether you’re writing a blog post, taking notes, or authoring developer docs, PicGo helps you upload images in one step and automatically copies the resulting link—so you can stay focused on creating, not uploading.
Supported Image hosts
PicGo supports mainstream Image hosts out of the box, and can be extended indefinitely through its plugin system:
International / open platforms: GitHub, SM.MS(S.EE), Imgur
More options via plugins: AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and more
Note: PicGo itself will no longer add new third-party Image hosts by default. You can build Image host plugins yourself—see PicGo-Core.
✨ Key Features
PicGo is built around a fast, low-friction image upload experience:
⚡ Smooth writing flow
Auto-copy links: once an upload finishes, the link is copied to your clipboard automatically.
Flexible formats: Markdown, HTML, URL, custom templates—paste directly into any editor.
Zero-Context Switching: Don't switch windows. Just paste images directly into your favorite editor, and let PicGo handle the upload in the background.
Enable this workflow via native support or community plugins: Obsidian \ VS Code \ Typora \ Neovim \ MarkText \ SiYuan \ And more...
🚀 Fast uploads
Multiple ways to upload: drag & drop, paste from clipboard, hotkeys, and even right-click context menu upload on macOS/Windows.
Global hotkey: press Command+Shift+U (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+U (Windows/Linux) to open the upload window without leaving your current app. The global key can be customized.
🧩 Powerful plugin ecosystem
Highly extensible: plugins already exist for AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and many other Image hosts.
Even more possibilities: image compression, watermarking, renaming, Markdown image migration, and more.

🛠 Developer-friendly
HTTP API: upload via HTTP requests (v2.2.0+), making it easy to integrate with other tools.
Open source: fully open-source and transparent.
Great documentation: detailed docs help you get started quickly. For plugin development, see the PicGo-Core docs.
There’s more to discover—development progress is tracked in Projects.
If you’re new to PicGo, start with the User Guide. If you run into issues, check the FAQ and closed issues.
Currently tested on macOS and Windows only. Linux has not been fully tested.
If you want to learn, contribute, modify, or build PicGo yourself:
For an Electron-vue learning series, see: Electron-vue development
Install Node.js and Git, and make sure you’re familiar with npm basics.
Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Molunerfinn/PicGo.git and enter the directory.
Install dependencies with pnpm. If you don’t have it yet, install it from the pnpm website first.
On macOS you’ll need Xcode; on Windows you’ll need Visual Studio.
For contributing, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Development mode
Run pnpm run dev to start the dev workflow with hot reload. Note: dev mode can be unstable and the process may crash—if that happens:
ctrl+c # stop dev mode
pnpm run dev # restart
On Windows, after dev mode starts, PicGo’s tray icon will appear in the bottom-right system tray area.
Production build
To build release artifacts locally, run pnpm run build. After a successful build, the installer files will be generated under dist.
Note: If your network is unstable, electron-builder may fail to download Electron binaries. You can set an alternative mirror before building:
export ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/electron/"
# On Windows: set ELECTRON_MIRROR=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/electron/ (no quotes)
pnpm run build
Electron binaries are stored under ~/.electron/. If you need to refresh them, delete that directory and rebuild.
