I had some down time recently, as some may know from my earlier post, so I decided to create a new image hosting website that will be dedicated to STEEM Post images. It will have all the categories found on steemit (starting with the steemit category) and 100% uptime so no more spaceship blank images on your post ;) I will be running the site myself at the start but may need moderators and help as it grows, so anyone interested feel free to jump in and send me your contact info at blueorgysteem@gmail.com.
I will be keeping it 100% AD free and hopefully if it grows I will continue to keep it free, even as upgrading is required, as a give back to this awesome community!
I just launched the site essentially in beta to get the kinks out & get feedback on what we want and need for our post images / gifs. I will be updating it today and upcoming days alongside posts with update information.
Happy Uploading!

EDIT 7/17 9:10 PM
Max image size has been bumped up from 2MB to 20MB!
Is the limit to low? is it too high? Let me know. Also let me know if you have any trouble with larger files.
EDIT 7/17 11:40 PM
Some have experienced small amount of lag while uploading multiple images via the mobile version of the site, if this happens to you please let me know, it may be nothing but it could also be something...
Also I want some awesome homepage backsplash images for the site and would love them to be by you steemit creative folks so... Go check out my other post - https://steemit.com/steemit/@blueorgy/steemimg-com-looking-for-an-awesome-homepage-image-get-featured-steem
EDIT 7/18 1:49 AM
SSL Certificate Up! Thanks @fyrstikken for the reminder!
UPDATE 7/18 1:42 PM
Things seem to moving along quite nicely. Here is a quick look at the current image/user stats.
Give that man a cookie...and $2000! ;-)
I just bumped him up to $2k!
how can you bump somebody up 2k, how much is 1 vote worth, just signed up here btw
Votes are weighted. The more money you have vested the more your votes are worth. You can check how much people are worth by going to their profile and checking out their wallet.
Pleas check out this post I made about a steemit Bug the dev's should see this post so they can fix it. https://steemit.com/bug/@stijn/steemit-bug-needs-to-be-fixed
Can comfirm, successfully uploaded image of carrot man sitting atop an egg salad couch using Steemimg.
i guess it works
You really must have the munchies!
That's some tasty art
hahahahaha
That's GOLD
So basically we have our own imgur now?
Aw yiss.
I uploaded this image of me and my son, his name is One Grant.. thank you for this service.. it ROCKS!!
It looks really great. But it is connected to actual Steem profiles?
Do uploaded images collect steem for upvotes?
I can't see anything like that.
This could enable you to actually make a profit for more investments in the site if you haven't done so already.
Currently no it does not connect to steam profiles - Although you could always add your profile link to your account on steemimg.
Edit: Going to look into this most definitely!
Thanks so much for the reply!
While it is interesting for you, I am looking into how it would work for steemit in general to have other websites use the blockchain. There might be an incentive to keep from doing so if steemit.com is tailored into it. In that case it would pretty much castrate the blockchain.
Doesn't necessarily need to... outside apps and websites could simply reference the trusted steemit blockchain. Obviously needs to be done right, but doesn't always need to be on-chain.
In the words of Yoda: Careful, I will be.
Why can't people earn upvotes on images? Dmania does this with memes.
Is there a reason for this?
NIce.. thank you for creating this... this will be very useful and my imgur won't be piled high with random images lol
My official FIRST UPLOAD to #steemimg
https://steemit.com/beauty/@mrwang/how-to-wear-a-manly-beard-a-manly-steemit-makeup-tutorial
Nice! Please add the option to upload using a link.
It's Added! To Upload via IMAGE URLs : Click Upload on the top navbar > add image URLs.
I'll add this to the homepage as well.
Are you f*cking kidding me? 20 minutes between user feedback and feature actually in production? That's gotta be a record! This place is just crazy.
Haha :) Nice Upload!
Well I want to be on top of things and make sure its what everyone needs or else whats the point.
Will look into this ASAP, thanks for feedback.
I like your site - BUT:
You need to get a SSL certificate for your site, you know - the stuff that makes people able to use the https://
it is just one of the things one must do ;)
I do sir! Thanks for the reminder.
Awesome work @blueorgy !
The project deserves equally amount of up votes as certain makeup tutorials found scattered around steemit.
It would be really useful to get some insight in to server specifications, locations and if the service utilize CDN. As all that will affect load times and search engine rankings.
Wow, It's incredible to see what a community can do with the right motivation, great work man!
Thanks for that. You're solving a real problem. Kudos!
Steemimg take 48 hours to verify your account!
This is good for security purposes but it you are a new Steemit account holder this might slow down your blogs progress.
Be sure to launch your new steemit account and your steemimg account at the same time so that you don't suffer any delays when setting up your page.
Nice to see new projects launching with the power of STEEM! I will keep an eye on your project and try to give feedback when necessary. Good luck to you @blueorgy
Great project and nicely done! Thank you!
Using this service to host this:

I appreciate your time and work so much, you cannot believe it. This is the most amazing thing a person can do to contribute to Steemit community. Issues that are related to images are too common. I used various of services, for now I stayed on Photobucket. But I guess I should try your service as well. I believe it's very generous from your side to give this gift to all of us, I'm telling you.
Awesome!!! Just signed up!
Edit - Uploaded this image of me captured in the moment at The Albatross's Ma ra Malai album launch.
Nice, tanks for the great post. Hope other also see the potential
Appreciate the effort but what is wrong with using ipfs.pics
Thank you for sharing!
Can't wait to see what you do with it.
in 20 hours ill probably make few cents from this post :p
Awesome!! Will be using this for my images. Great work!
Great job! Definitely something that was needed
Great to see another steemit made tool, expansion is the key
Please add the option to upload using a drag and drop
Just go to Upload on the Top Nav to drag and drop.
Or just drag the photo anywhere on the homepage.
Awesome! Thanks! http://steemimg.com/fjccoin
Great stuff man, its because of people like you that will make Steemit great.
All these type of things add up to make a platform great.
"I will be keeping it 100% AD free and hopefully if it grows I will continue to keep it free"
who needs ads when you got steem?;)
The Truth.
Definitely created gold for the users of Steemit. Thankyou for your efforts i am sure the entire Steemit community will be grateful:) http://steemimg.com/cryptoiskey

Thank's for share this post. Hope other also see the potential 😀
Badass thanks @blueorgy!
Very cool!
thank you for steemiig.com, in a couple of day joining this community i feell a bit difficult to insert image on my post.
One of my major goals is to make it super easy to post images here. This will let even the most unexperienced user have access to post and be apart of the community.
If you ever need help I'm here, and i'm sure there will always be someone around to help.
Excellent ingenuity! Def will be using this! Maybe a dope Android app next to come? :)
Well the Website should work fully on your android device via the web browser. However I have a pretty good background in IOS and Android development so this may be something I tackle soon.
alright, looking forward to updates! good luck
Awesome. Nice work. I've submitted images.
People started making infrastructure for Steemit support.
