I have a condo that I have put a lot of work into and I have a lot of assets. Custom Art, AI art, banners, headings, etc. One thing that concerns me though is that I have uploaded them all on a generic image website and I have no back ups. I would like to get them all redownloaded/reuploaded on a site that I have an actual account on and can organize my stuff and keep it all in one place. I would like a little flexibility on file size incase I ever want to upload a video or anything. I know all the usual sites that people use but I am wondering if there is a general consensus amongst the community in terms of what works best for Towers. ---

I recommend catbox !! I and some friends have used it and it’s pretty rare to experience ‘image not loading’ problems- though I’m unsure if you can like. log on and access the images you uploaded anytime; i just upload images and grab the links to use them but you should look into it anyways!! > **[Catbox](https://catbox.moe/)** > > The cutest free file host you've ever seen ---

Catbox is taking a long time to load stuff in the condos, that’s a pretty common problem with this website which is why I wouldn’t recommend it. I usually use imgur for any images, in case imgur ever break (but I never had a single problem with it in a decade), I’d swap to Trello cards, their attachments have external links for you to use with the the canvases link field. ---

Imgur is your best bet for that. It lets you privately upload images to an account and then you can sort through them all or download them all whenever you’d like. It’s what I use for hosting since it’s fast and I’ve never had a single issue with it before. Imgur _does_ let you upload videos, but it’s not great frankly. If you’re looking to upload .webms to use in your condo media player, then I’d recommend Catbox since it has a larger upload size and can do .webms. ---

I got “502 Bad Gateway” on the way to catbox.moe ☹ ![image_2024-06-09_165159416](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/c/9ccd8a1c170f809406462ce602fae1574574d6c5.png) ---

Apologies for necroing this post. However Imgur withdrew their service from the UK on 20 September 2025. As a result no-one in the UK can view or post images on Imgur and any custom map that uses images from Imgur will display ‘Content not available in your region’ instead of the linked image. This is completely out of the devs and map creator’s control and while there are other similar sites available many seem to break the transparency of pngs. Other image types, like jpg etc, seem ok. If you are outside the UK then you will not have this issue. At least at present (Apr 2026). ---

Imgur is a bad choice anyway since they randomly will remove uploads if they decide they don’t like them, even if they’re privately uploaded. I recommend [https://freeimage.host/](https://freeimage.host/), been using it for the last 2-3 years with zero issues. No limits or paywalls that I’m aware of, and transparent pngs work perfectly fine.
