The Imgur plugin allows users to upload images to Imgur directly from Obsidian, helping to reduce the size of local vaults. It supports both anonymous and authenticated uploads, giving users the option to link images to their Imgur account or keep them private. Users can upload images by pasting from the clipboard or dragging files into their notes. The plugin supports animated GIFs during drag-and-drop uploads and makes it easier to share notes with images, as only a single file needs to be shared. By uploading images remotely, users avoid cluttering their vault with image files and can also reduce the size of cloud backups or git repositories. This is particularly useful for users who frequently add screenshots or images to their notes, such as students or researchers.

The Custom Image Auto Uploader plugin enables seamless image management in Obsidian by allowing users to upload and synchronize images directly to remote servers, NAS devices, or cloud storage services such as Alibaba Cloud OSS, Amazon S3, and Cloudflare R2. Users can drag-and-drop or paste images into notes, and the plugin will automatically upload them to the configured destination. It also supports batch operations, allowing for bulk uploads of local image files within notes. This functionality is ideal for users who want to offload image storage from their local vaults to external servers or cloud platforms. With an option to set up an Image API Gateway, users have full control over image upload destinations, making it a powerful tool for those managing large volumes of media within Obsidian notes.
