BBCode image hosting for forums

Forums and bulletin boards often require BBCode instead of raw HTML. imgtree generates ready-to-paste BBCode after every upload — for both the full image and a thumbnail link.

Works with XenForo, phpBB, vBulletin, MyBB, and most boards that support [img] and [url] tags — including long-form forum posts and comment threads.

Drop a screenshot or photo on the imgtree home page — no account required for guest uploads. Registered users can also upload from the dashboard or via ShareX and the API.

When the upload finishes, open the image page to see all embed formats in one place.

Upload an image

On the image page, find the BBCode section and click Copy. imgtree provides:

• Direct image BBCode — [img]url[/img] for inline display
• Thumbnail with link — [url=…][img]thumb[/img][/url] for lighter posts
• Linked full image — [url=page][img]image[/img][/url] when the board prefers linking to the host page

Switch to BBCode or rich-text mode in your editor and paste the snippet. Preview the post before submitting to confirm the board allows hotlinked images.

Some forums restrict guest hotlinks or require a minimum post count. If images do not render, check the board’s image/BBCode policy or ask a moderator.

The same upload also includes Markdown image syntax and HTML img tags — useful for Discord, GitHub, documentation, and websites.
