This plugin uploads images to [imgur.com](https://imgur.com/) instead of storing them locally in your vault. [![obsidian-imgur-plugin-demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1719646/120395609-efe33b80-c33d-11eb-9960-95b9aac0b0b9.gif)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1719646/120395609-efe33b80-c33d-11eb-9960-95b9aac0b0b9.gif) Obsidian stores all the data locally by design (which is perfect for text and, in my opinion, can be improved for images). If you often add pictures to your notes, your vault can quickly grow in size. Which in turn can lead to reaching limits if you use free plans of cloud storage services to sync your notes or can lead to growth of repository size if you use git to back up your notes. This plugin is a perfect solution for people who paste images to their notes on daily basis (i.e. students making screenshots of lecture slides) and do not want to clutter their vaults with image files. Having remote images also makes it much easier to share a note with anyone else, you will only need to share a single file. ## Alternatives and Comparison [[Obsidian Cloudinary]]
