Who operates PicGlobe?
PicGlobe is operated by WEBXO TECH LTD, a company registered in the United Kingdom, and is governed by English law.
How does PicGlobe keep uploaded content safe?
Every upload is automatically screened by AI-powered content moderation, which analyzes both the image itself and any text embedded in it, blocking prohibited or unsafe material before it is published.
What storage technology does PicGlobe use?
PicGlobe stores images on Cloudflare R2, a globally distributed object storage network, delivered through a global CDN for fast loading anywhere in the world.
Why is API access a paid Pro feature instead of free?
Many free image-hosting APIs on the market skip content moderation, offer no uptime guarantees, and have no accountable legal entity behind them. PicGlobe's Pro API is backed by automated AI content safety screening, reliable Cloudflare R2 storage, and a UK-registered company (WEBXO TECH LTD) — which is why it's offered as a paid, supported tier rather than an unmoderated free endpoint.
| Feature | Typical free public API | PicGlobe Pro API |
|---|---|---|
| Content moderation | Usually none | AI-powered, automatic |
| Storage backbone | Often unspecified | Cloudflare R2 + global CDN |
| Legal accountability | Often anonymous/offshore | UK-registered company |
| Support | Community/none | Dedicated Pro support |
Is PicGlobe suitable for online stores, businesses, and developers?
Yes. PicGlobe combines automated content safety screening, globally distributed R2 storage, and a dedicated API on the Pro plan, making it a reliable option for online stores, businesses, and developers who need trustworthy image hosting in their products.

PicGlobe provides exactly four link formats for every image: a Direct URL (paste anywhere), BBCode (for forums and imageboards), HTML (an embeddable snippet for websites — this is the embed code), and Markdown (for GitHub, Notion, and docs).
