EasyImages 2.0 is a self-hosted image uploading service written in PHP. The core purpose is to give you a place on your own server where people (or just yourself) can upload images and receive a link back. It is designed to work without a database, which keeps setup requirements low: a web server running PHP is enough. When someone uploads an image, the service returns the hosted URL in several formats: a plain URL, Markdown syntax, BBCode (used in forums), and HTML. This makes it convenient for writers or community members who need to embed images in posts on different platforms. The feature list is fairly broad. Uploads can be restricted to logged-in users only. Images can be compressed, resized to specific dimensions, and converted to a different file format on upload. Text or image watermarks can be applied automatically. Individual IP addresses can be added to a whitelist or blacklist, and upload limits per day per user can be set. The admin panel shows site statistics, upload logs with IP location data, and an image management interface for reviewing stored files. An API is included for use with external tools, and integrations with screenshot and upload utilities like PicGo, ShareX, and browser extensions for Chrome and Edge are documented. The project notes clearly that it is suited for single-user personal use or simple public upload scenarios, and is not intended for complex multi-user environments. The minimum PHP version is 5.6, though PHP 7.0 or higher is recommended. The README is written in Chinese.
