How it works

Three explicit steps without marketing fluff.

Sign up autonomously

Upload your assets

Execute a POST request attaching your image. The API handles compression mapping automatically on insertion.

Implement the URL

Consume the returned strict HTTPS URL. Asset delivery is automatically configured with proper caching layers.

Code Examples

const uploadImage = async (file) => {
  const formData = new FormData();
  formData.append('image', file);

  const res = await fetch('https://imgstorage1.vercel.app/api/v1/upload', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'tdrive_your_api_key'
    },
    body: formData
  });

  return await res.json();
}

Response Payload

// Response
{
 "success": true,
 "url": "https://imgstorage1.vercel.app/i/abc123",
 "id": "abc123"
}

Builder's Note

"I routinely found myself setting up complex AWS S3 distributions just to host simple assets for hobby software. I realized the Telegram Bot API ecosystem provided highly stable infrastructure that could be repurposed as a robust CDN."

"ImgStorage is structured exactly how I build my own utilities: zero graphical configuration layers, strict API token boundaries, and high reliability."

FAQ

Yes. By utilizing Telegram's infrastructure for storage, we avoid traditional cloud storage costs and pass those savings entirely to developers.

There is no catch. ImgStorage acts as a thin API layer over Telegram's robust messaging API, which offers free and unlimited file storage. Operating costs for our routing layer are minimal.

We support standard web image formats including WebP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.

We enforce a strict 4MB limit per file, mirroring Telegram's bot limits for fast and efficient infrastructure usage.

Yes. We maintain a reliable cache and API distribution layer, but please understand we act as an intermediary infrastructure.
