Github Image Hosting

Upload images to img402.dev for embedding in GitHub PRs, issues, and comments. Free tier (1MB, 7-day, no auth) is the default; paid tiers add 5MB max with 1-year ($0.01) or permanent ($1) retention via x402. Use when the agent needs to share an image in a GitHub context — screenshots, mockups, diagrams, or any visual. Triggers: "screenshot this", "attach an image", "add a screenshot to the PR", "upload this mockup", or any task producing an image for GitHub.

Quick reference

# Upload (multipart)
curl -s -X POST https://img402.dev/api/free -F image=@/tmp/screenshot.png

# Response
# {"url":"https://i.img402.dev/aBcDeFgHiJ.png","id":"aBcDeFgHiJ","contentType":"image/png","sizeBytes":182400,"expiresAt":"2026-02-17T..."}

Workflow

Get image: Use an existing file, or capture a screenshot:

screencapture -x /tmp/screenshot.png        # macOS — full screen
screencapture -xw /tmp/screenshot.png       # macOS — frontmost window

Verify size: Must be under 1MB. If larger, resize:

sips -Z 1600 /tmp/screenshot.png  # macOS — scale longest edge to 1600px

Upload:

curl -s -X POST https://img402.dev/api/free -F image=@/tmp/screenshot.png

Embed the returned url in GitHub markdown:

GitHub integration

Use gh CLI to embed images in PRs and issues:

# Add to PR description
gh pr edit --body "$(gh pr view --json body -q .body)

![Screenshot](https://i.img402.dev/aBcDeFgHiJ.png)"

# Add as PR comment
gh pr comment --body "![Screenshot](https://i.img402.dev/aBcDeFgHiJ.png)"

# Add to issue
gh issue comment 123 --body "![Screenshot](https://i.img402.dev/aBcDeFgHiJ.png)"

Constraints

Max size: 1MB
Retention: 7 days
Formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP
Rate limit: 1,000 free uploads/day (global)
No auth required

Tips

Prefer PNG for UI screenshots (sharp text). Use JPEG for photos.
If a screenshot is too large, reduce dimensions with sips -Z 1600 before uploading.
When adding to a PR body or comment, use gh pr comment or gh pr edit with the image markdown.

Paid tiers

For larger or longer-lived images, pay via x402 for a token, then upload with the token:

# Step 1: Get an upload token
POST https://img402.dev/api/upload/token            # $0.01 USDC → 1-year retention
POST https://img402.dev/api/upload/token/permanent  # $1.00 USDC → permanent retention
# → {"token": "a1b2c3...", "expiresAt": "..."}

# Step 2: Upload with the token
curl -s -X POST https://img402.dev/api/upload \
  -H "X-Upload-Token: a1b2c3..." \
  -F image=@/tmp/screenshot.png
# → {"url":"...", "expiresAt":"..."|null}   # null = permanent

x402 payment is handled by an x402-capable client (the Payments MCP tool, @x402/client, or similar). See https://img402.dev/blog/paying-x402-apis.
