Set up your device

Download the app

A single small program for Windows 10 and 11 that lives in your system tray. It needs nothing else installed.

Run it

The app isn't signed by Microsoft, so Windows may show “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info → Run anyway. It installs itself, adds itself to the Start menu and appears in the tray (the ^ next to the clock).

Connect it to your account

With the app running, click the button. It fills in the server and your token for you.

Hotkeys

These are the defaults. Change or turn off any of them in the app's Settings.

You can also right-click any file in Explorer and choose Upload to Catgirls Pics (on Windows 11 it's under Show more options).

Download the menu bar app

A small native app (macOS 13+) that lives in your menu bar. It works on Apple silicon and Intel.

Move it to Applications and open it

The app isn't notarized by Apple, so the first time you open it, right-click → Open (on macOS 15+, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway).

Connect it to your account

Click the button with the app running. It fills in the server and your token for you.

Allow screen recording

On the first capture, macOS asks for Screen Recording permission. Turn it on for Catgirls Pics and restart the app.

Hotkeys

These are the defaults. Change or turn off any of them in the app's Settings.

You can also drag files onto the menu bar icon, or use Upload File….

Run the installer

This installs catgirls-upload to ~/.local/bin and saves your token in ~/.config/catgirlspics. It works on X11 and Wayland (sway, Hyprland, GNOME, KDE).

Install a screenshot backend if needed

The installer tells you what's missing. Typical setups:

Bind hotkeys

Point your desktop's custom shortcuts at these commands:

Install catgirls.pics as an app

Open this page in Chrome on your phone and tap the button. If there's no button, use Chrome's ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen (or Install app).

Share to it

In Gallery, Photos, your screenshot preview or any other app, tap Share → catgirls.pics. It uploads straight away and copies the link. Photos, videos, files and text all work.

Stay logged in

Uploads use your login in Chrome. If you log out, sharing asks you to log in and then finishes the upload.

Copy your upload token

The Shortcut asks for it while you add it. Don't share it with anyone.

Add the Shortcut

On your iPhone, tap the button. Shortcuts opens and asks two questions: keep the server as it is and paste your token.

Share to it

In Photos, a screenshot preview or any app, tap Share → Upload to catgirls.pics. The link is copied when it's done. Photos are converted from HEIC automatically.

The first time, iOS asks whether the Shortcut may connect to this site; choose Always Allow. Don't see it in the share sheet? Scroll to the bottom, tap Edit Actions… and add it to your favourites.
