PixelVault is image hosting built for developers and AI coding agents โ not a dashboard you click through. Everything is one HTTP call.
Upload an image and get an instant, permanent CDN URL back. No account required for your first upload: POST an image (raw bytes or a public URL to import) and you're live. Register later with a single API call to keep and manage your images.
What you get:
curl before you sign upFree to start. The full workflow โ register, upload, transform, serve โ runs on the free tier.

PixelVault.devPixelVault.dev's answer:
TypeScript, Hono on Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare R2 storage, Cloudflare CDN and image transforms, Neon serverless PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, and Astro for the static site. It runs entirely on Cloudflare's global edge.
PixelVault.dev's answer:
PixelVault started from a simple frustration: existing image hosts are built for humans clicking upload buttons, not for code or AI agents. As coding agents became capable of generating and handling images, there was no host that let them do it in a single call. PixelVault was built agent-first from the ground up on Cloudflare's edge โ one call to register, one to upload, and a URL comes back.
PixelVault.dev's answer:
PixelVault is image hosting designed around API calls and AI agents instead of a web dashboard. You can upload an image and get a permanent CDN URL back with a single HTTP request โ and your very first upload needs no account or API key at all. It's also one of the few image hosts with a native MCP server, so AI coding agents like Claude and Cursor can store and retrieve images directly.
PixelVault.dev's answer:
It's the fastest path from "I have an image" to "here's a live URL." No dashboard to click through, no egress fees ever, and a genuinely free tier that covers the full workflow โ upload, on-the-fly transforms (resize, format-convert, AI background removal), and global-edge serving. Developers and agents get an OpenAPI spec and an MCP connector out of the box, which the incumbents don't offer.
PixelVault.dev's answer:
Developers and AI coding agents. Specifically, engineers who need programmatic image hosting inside apps, scripts, or CI pipelines, and AI agents that need to store and serve images they generate โ without a human clicking through an upload UI.
