Imperial has truly changed my life since I started using it (all the way back when v2 was a thing). I've been tirelessly waiting for v3, and when I saw I can use it, I had a surge of happiness and adrenaline knowing I can once again have amazing customizability, great embeds, fast uploads with a smooth and clean UI. I'm not biased or anything, but Imperial is just really great and worth it—especially good that it has plans for any price range.

It genuinely makes it easier if I want to go back and see my images I don't personally use the embed since I don't wanna be flashy.

I'm not going to lie, Imperial has been extremely useful to me because of how fast and secure it is; you'll literally be shocked on how the user experience actually feels like. And on top of that, you already get 1 GB for free from the free plan, you can store hundreds or even thousands of images with NO problem.

Imperial has been with me for the longest time. Even back when Aiden from e-z.host was ddosing Imperial under their old alias, I was there. E-z.host literally banned me for just being in the Imperial discord server! How selfless of Aiden! Anywho, this image host is the fastest I've used ever, has the best UI, the most features and even has their own clipping/screenshotting application - all for REALLY cheap. Well, what are you waiting for? Get Imperial!

From a vulnerable prototype to a battle-tested platform
The first iteration. Fast, but unoptimized and vulnerable. It was raw, it worked, but it wasn't ready for the world.
Where I learned about securing applications properly. Made Imperial more reliable, maintainable, and resistant to DDoS attacks. This was the foundation.
The biggest and best iteration of Imperial. Everything I learned, everything I wanted—all in one place. Then a disk failure event took it all away.
Built from the ground up, again. Every lesson learned, every mistake corrected. This is Imperial at its peak.
Streaming bulk operations, Discord OAuth, refined UX, and comprehensive stability improvements. Imperial is now production-ready and battle-tested.
Built with love, rebuilt with determination, perfected with experience.
