swiftimg for open source
Open-source projects host screenshots, logos, and demo GIFs somewhere — and too often that somewhere expires or rate-limits a popular README. swiftimg is a permanent, globally-cached home for those images, free, with no surprise bills.
The badge
Drop this in your README to point other maintainers at a free home for their images. Customize the label and message, then copy a snippet.
FAQ
- What do I get?
- A permanent, globally-cached home for your project's screenshots, logos, and demo GIFs — with no rolling expiry and no surprise bills — plus the badge for your README. Active open-source projects can request a higher upload allowance.
- Is the badge required?
- No. The badge is a thank-you, not a condition — hosting works without it. But it helps other maintainers discover a free home for their images, which keeps the program running.
- What counts as open source?
- Any project under an OSI-approved license with a public repository. Personal projects, docs sites, and dev tools all qualify.
- Will my image URLs ever break?
- Uploaded images stay live indefinitely — there's no expiry on hosted files, so a README image from years ago keeps rendering.
