Changelog

SM.MS Image Hosting is now part of S.EE. Your images, links, and account are all here.

SM.MS Image Hosting → S.EE

All SM.MS users and data have moved to S.EE. Existing accounts, images, and links keep working. Free SM.MS users are on the S.EE free plan; SM.MS Pro users keep their paid plan.

Batch image uploads

New image upload page. Drag and drop multiple images or paste from clipboard. Pasted images are converted to WebP automatically. JPEG 2000 and PSD are now accepted alongside the usual formats.

Usage limits

Upload counts are tracked per user. Free plan users have caps on short link creation, image uploads, and private file sharing. The API tells you exactly what limit you hit.

Dashboard

• "Clicks" renamed to "Views" with a new eye icon
• Sidebar and stats card icons switched to hugeicons stroke style
• Sidebar restructured with Settings and Upgrade links
• Each /user/ page now has its own page title and metadata
• Homepage gets demo animations for the dashboard

Delete confirmation

The bulk delete dialog auto-uppercases your input and validates case-insensitively. You can press Enter to confirm instead of clicking the button.

Short links

• Short ID generation is faster
• Retry cap on short link generation to avoid edge-case infinite loops

File uploads

• og:image is auto-set to the image URL when the shared file is an image
• Drag & drop works more reliably, including the Firefox dropEffect fix
• Upload responses now return structured status codes and messages
• Re-uploading an existing file no longer errors out
• Added retry when the backend returns an empty URL on fast uploads

Passkeys

• Discoverable credentials: you can sign in without entering your email first
• Passkey display name defaults to your email

WordPress plugin

Official WordPress plugin released. Short URLs are created automatically when you publish a post, media uploads go straight to S.EE, and you can manage text sharing and file hosting without leaving WordPress.

Bug fixes

• QR code page layout matches the Text sharing page now
• Cancel/Confirm button sizes are consistent across targeting sections
• File Sharing sidebar link pointed to the wrong path

Passkeys, password-protected file sharing, referrer analytics, and a bunch of security and polish work.

Passkeys

You can now sign in with passkeys instead of passwords. Add one from your security settings, then use Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or a hardware key to log in. Works across browsers.

Private file sharing

Shared files can be password-protected now. Passwords are encrypted client-side with AES-GCM before they leave the browser. You can also toggle privacy after upload and opt out of search engine indexing per file. Thumbnails are hidden for private files on sharing pages.

Referrer analytics

The dashboard now shows where your traffic is coming from. Each referrer domain gets its favicon, and sources are ranked by visit count.

File migration

You can move files between accounts and teams. The file list polls for migration status and refreshes automatically when processing finishes.

Security

• Changing your password invalidates all existing sessions
• Expired tokens redirect to login instead of showing a broken page
• Markdown content and style attributes go through stricter XSS sanitization
• Rate limit responses now return proper error messages

API

• New /usage endpoint for checking link service usage
• File uploads accept custom_slug and domain parameters
• Swagger docs updated with Authorization headers and the new endpoints

1Password and autofill

Fixed autofill styling for 1Password users, including dark mode. 2FA code inputs work better with password managers now.

Text sharing

• Markdown is now rendered client-side with markdown-it (supports emoji, footnotes, task lists, sub/superscript, and more)
• Fixed code block text color in light mode
• Tables display properly in both themes
• Tooltips on Raw/Download/Copy buttons are no longer clipped

UI fixes

• Hover animations on CTA buttons, pricing cards, and header buttons
• Refreshed copy on login, sign-up, forgot password, and 2FA pages
• Pasted images convert to full-quality WebP, with automatic PNG fallback for browsers that don't support it (e.g. Safari)
• Clear selection button stays visible during bulk operations
• Fixed Turnstile CAPTCHA refresh issues
• Added FAQPage structured data

This update brings file ownership transfer, improved upload experience, and fixes for sharing page compatibility.
