What is DarkStar?

DarkStar is a service for sharing images, videos, and other files.

On DarkStar, only you can upload files. You can share links to those files with anyone, and they never have to sign up for an account.

DarkStar puts you fully in control, which means:

• You can share direct download links without forcing your guests to see ads or prompts to sign up for an account.
• There are no restrictions on file type, size, or content.
• DarkStar never resizes or re-encodes your media files.
• DarkStar preserves the original filename and metadata for your files.

DarkStar is easy to self-host. See our source repo for details.
