Upload your images, videos, and other supported files
to use with Nostr clients who utilize Blossom and NIP-96
like Amethyst, Nostur, YakiHonne, 0xchat & noStrudel.
We offer a unique feature called Zapwall that allows creators to monetize their files with Nostr zaps.
Keep track of uploads in our file manager to search or sort them, copy URLs, delete them, and more.
Our platform is serverless and distributed across the largest global network for optimal performance.
We'll always offer a free version of our Nostr Media hosting service, which allows 100 image uploads per month and stored for 30 days.
However, our premium plans offer support for video uploads, larger storage limits, ability to manage files, and uploads never expire while your subscription is active!

All free users can upload up to 100 images per month and those are stored for 30 days.
We support uploading the following file types:
.jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif, .webp, .bmp, .tiff, .heic, .ico, .mp4, .webm, .ogg, .mov, .avi, .wmv, .mkv, .flv, .mpeg, .mpg, .3gp, .m4v, .zip, .pdf, .svg, .mp3, .wav, .flac, .aac, .m4a, .wma, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .txt, .rtf, .odt, .ods, .csv, .psd, .stl, .rar, .7z, .tar.gz
Nostr Media is both Blossom and NIP-96 compliant for uploads. In addition to using our own iteration of Blossom for a general purpose API. (see API documentation further in this FAQ)
This means you can use Nostr Media to upload files on Amethyst, Nostur, YakiHonne, Snort, noStrudel, 0xchat, and any other client that supports either Blossom or NIP-96 protocols for uploading.
For either option, all you need to do is enter https://nostrmedia.com for the address and click save. From there, all uploads will begin saving to your Nostr Media account, connected through Nostr.
However, at this time only the upload portion of either NIP-96 and/or Blossom is supported. This means in order to list or delete files, you will need to use our file manager. We are working to make our platform fully compliant in the future.
Additionally, we are constantly working with more Nostr client developers to help bring Nostr Media integration into as many Nostr apps as possible.
Yes! But, only for free users! Each uploaded file expires after 30 days.

Yes! All of our premium plan subscribers get access to a file manager where they can see all uploaded files and choose to copy their URL or delete them.

No. If you have lost your private key (nsec), we cannot help recover it. Our uploading process does not (from our end) require the private key. We have no way of recovering a lost private key.
A lost or compromised private key would require you to create a new Nostr account and go through subscribing to a new plan.
Calling all Nostr creators! Have you ever wanted to earn Bitcoin on your work? Now you can!
We are the first to introduce a Zapwall feature, which is a paywall, but requires Nostr zapping to unlock the file.
This optional feature, available only to our paid subscribers, allows charging Satoshis to unlock a file.
All of the Bitcoin Lightning payments made from the Nostr zaps to unlock files goes directly to the file owner. We do not take a cut of the zaps!
Checkout this demo of Zapwall in action:
If you've subscribed to one of our premium plans you can manage the subscription here.
If you've subscribed to one of our premium plans and you've canceled the subscription here, the uploaded files will be automatically deleted at the end of your subscription period.
However, your account will automatically fallback to our free service allowing you to still upload 100 images per month in your Nostr client.
Upgrading or downgrading will not impact your stored files. However, if you have exceeded the 100 GB limit of the Purple plan and downgrade from the Onyx plan, you will not be able to upload any further files.
We do not moderate our users' uploaded content.
However, we are bound by the laws of our applicable country. Therefore, we will adhere to any valid DMCA, Abuse, or Illegal content complaints regarding user uploads and if deemed necessary will remove such content.

Yes! To upload media to Nostr Media via our API, a Nostr client can:
1. Compute the SHA-256 HashBefore uploading the file, compute the SHA-256 hash of the image. This hash will be used in the Nostr event tags.
2. Sign the EventSign a Nostr event with the following structure:
{ "kind": 24242, "created_at": TIMESTAMP, "tags": [ ["t", "upload"], ["x", "SHA-256 hash of the image"] ], "content": "Uploading blob with SHA-256 hash", "pubkey": "USER_PUBLIC_KEY"} 3. Make the Upload RequestSend a POST request to https://nostrmedia.com/upload with the signed event in the Authorization header and the media file in the body.
POST /uploadAuthorization: Nostr BASE64_ENCODED_SIGNED_EVENTFormData: file: MEDIA_FILE
The API for uploading is based on Blossom and also accepts PUT and OPTIONS headers.
