Quick Answer
What does Media2URL do?
Media2URL lets you upload media files and turn them into shareable links. You can upload images, videos, GIFs, PDFs, audio and safe files, then copy a direct URL, share page, HTML code, Markdown code, BBCode or QR code based on the file type. You can also choose privacy and expiry settings before the link is created.
This helps you use one uploaded file across websites, documents, support chats, client messages and internal workflows.

Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers about uploads, media tools, workspaces and sharing controls.
Media2URL helps when you have a file but the place where you need to use it asks for a link instead. You can upload supported images, videos, GIFs, PDFs, audio and other files, then copy the direct URL or another available sharing format.
Files saved to your account can also stay in the media library when you need to find or reuse them later.
Yes. Media2URL can generate a direct URL for supported uploads. The link points to the file itself, which is useful when a website, HTML tag, Markdown document or another field asks for the actual media address.
You can also use a share page when you want someone to open the file through a hosted preview instead.
A direct URL opens the file itself. It is usually the right option when a website, app, HTML tag or Markdown document needs the actual file address.
A share page opens the file inside a Media2URL page with the available preview and file actions. This is generally easier when you are sending the link to another person.
Yes. Expiry settings can be used for supported files when you do not want a link to remain available indefinitely. This can be useful for support files, temporary screenshots, client reviews or other short term sharing.
Once the selected expiry condition is reached, the link will no longer provide normal access to the file.
Yes. Password protection can be applied where the feature is supported. It is useful when you are sharing a client file or another upload that should not be openly accessible to anyone with the link.
A visitor must enter the correct password before accessing the protected content through the supported sharing flow.
Yes. Media2URL supports videos, PDFs, images, GIFs, audio and other supported file types within the limits of your account and plan.
This means different file types can stay inside the same Media2URL workspace instead of being scattered across separate upload tools.
Yes. You can remove uploaded files from your dashboard. Once a file is deleted, its normal hosted access and generated links are no longer intended to remain active.
Temporary backups or technical records may remain for the period described in the Media2URL Data Retention policy.
Public website upload tools accept supported files up to 2 MB per file, with a maximum of 10 uploads per day for guests. Sign in for more uploads, or upgrade for larger files and higher limits.
No. Images are one common use case, but Media2URL also supports other file types such as videos, GIFs, PDFs and audio where available.
Files saved to an account can also use the media library and other supported workspace tools. The exact features and limits depend on the current plan.
