Do my visitors need an AnonShot account?

No. The widget works anonymously, just like the homepage: upload, link, done.

Who hosts images submitted through the widget?

AnonShot hosts the cleaned files; the private link belongs to your visitor, inaccessible to your site until they share it.

Embed photo uploads on your website (iframe, no account)

Two lines of HTML let your visitors drop photos cleaned of their metadata — no account, no backend required.

A ready-made widget

AnonShot ships a dedicated page at /embed: a standalone drag-and-drop zone you simply iframe. Your visitors drop an image and get a private link — your server never sees the file or its metadata.

Events, contests, feedback collection: zero backend to write.
EXIF metadata stripped before storage, same as on the main site.
The widget uses AnonShot's discreet dark theme, free of third-party branding.

The snippet to paste

Drop this tag wherever you want the drop zone to appear:

Minimal embed example
Attribute	Purpose
src	https://anonshot.com/embed
width / height	560 × 520 recommended
loading	'lazy' so it never slows your page

Further: the developer API

The widget covers most use cases. For programmatic uploads (tokens, quotas, direct links), see the /developers page for the REST API.
