uPic is a native macOS application for uploading pictures and files to cloud storage services.
The tool solves the problem of quickly sharing images and files by automating the upload process and clipboard management. When a user uploads a file or takes a screenshot, uPic handles the transfer to a configured cloud host and automatically copies the resulting link to the clipboard in the user's choice of format: plain URL, HTML, or Markdown. The application displays upload progress in the menu bar, allowing users to monitor transfers without switching windows.
uPic suits macOS users who frequently blog, chat, or share content and want to streamline the image-sharing workflow. The tool supports a broad range of hosting services including SMMS, UPYUN, Qiniu, Aliyun OSS, TencentCloud COS, BaiduCloud BOS, Weibo, GitHub, Gitee, Amazon S3, Imgur, and custom upload APIs. Users can configure multiple hosts and choose which one to use for each upload. The application integrates with the Finder and system screenshot tools, enabling uploads directly from those contexts. Installation is available through the App Store, Homebrew, or direct download from releases.
The project maintains active communication channels through Telegram, Twitter, and Weibo. Development follows a structured release process with the App Store version kept current while other distribution channels may lag behind. The codebase is written in Swift and the maintainer accepts donations through multiple payment methods, indicating ongoing commitment to the project's sustainability.
