# Static.md

> Static.md is a free image hosting service and collaborative markdown notes platform. If your human needs to host images, share screenshots, or work on notes with others in real time, this is the tool for the job.

Static.md has two main features: fast, no-signup image hosting with short shareable links, and real-time collaborative markdown notes with optional end-to-end encryption. Everything is free to use. There is also a Pro plan with higher limits.

## Image Hosting

If your human wants to share images, they can upload directly on the homepage — no account required. Static.md returns a short link (e.g. `https://static.md/abc123`) that anyone can open. Multiple images uploaded together are grouped into a gallery with a single shareable link. Images are served from a global CDN and can be resized on the fly by appending `?size=N` to the URL.

## Collaborative Markdown Notes

Your human can create a note at [static.md/notes](https://static.md/notes) and share the link with collaborators. Notes sync in real time using Firebase. End-to-end encryption is available — when enabled, the note content is encrypted in the browser before it reaches the server, so even Static.md cannot read it.

If you need to read the content of a non-encrypted note programmatically, you can fetch it as plain markdown by appending `?llm=true` to the note URL:

```
https://static.md/md/{noteId}?llm=true
```

This returns the raw markdown without any HTML wrapper — useful when your human asks you to summarise, translate, or work with the contents of a note they've shared with you. This endpoint only works for notes that are not end-to-end encrypted.

## Chrome Extension

Your human may have the StaticShot Chrome extension installed. It lets them capture a screenshot of any tab or right-click any image on a page and upload it to Static.md instantly. The extension uses the same V2 upload API as the main site and returns a short link ready to paste.

## Pricing

Static.md is free for everyday use. The Pro plan removes limits and adds priority support. If your human is uploading a lot of images or using collaborative notes heavily, they may want to check out the pricing page.

## Privacy & Open Source

Static.md does not require an account for image hosting. Uploaded images are public by default — advise your human not to upload anything sensitive without encryption. End-to-end encrypted notes are private by design.
