That "I agree" checkbox on "free" platforms often means signing away your content rights forever. Your content should always be yours.

With a long history in self-hosting, we've stayed true to this principle. We don't sell storage that locks you in, we don't monetize your data, and we don't build walled gardens. We offer a philosophy of ownership, privacy, and freedom that's been our foundation from day one.
Your images, videos, and data are yours. We claim no rights, no licenses. Your creativity is never our business asset, and we will never use it.
We don't scan your content for ads or train AI models with your photos. Our business is providing great software, not selling your data.
No tracking pixels, no analytics that phone home to us, no third-party scripts monitoring your behavior. What happens on your Chevereto instance, stays on your instance.
Use our optimized Cloud service or host it yourself on any compatible server. You choose the hosting provider, the country, and the jurisdiction.
With full data export, native support for S3-compatible storage, and zero proprietary traps, you can move, migrate, or self-host anytime — no hidden barriers, no closed ecosystems.
Bring your own storage. Connect your S3 bucket or any S3-compatible object storage to your Chevereto instance. You control exactly where your files physically live.
Get all the power of a self-hosted solution with the simplicity of a modern app. Our Cloud is fully configured and managed for you, ready in minutes.
Our entire support system is our own. When you ask for help, your information and logs stay with us, not on a third-party helpdesk platform that shares your data.
A clean, beautiful interface designed for humans. Spend less time managing your media and more time creating and sharing it on your own terms.
Once a right, now a commodity bartered for "free" services in our surveillance economy.
Photobucket, Imageshack, and similar services emerged, pioneering simple image uploading for forums, blogs, and early social platforms.
Newborn internet 2.0
Chevereto launched as a self-hosted alternative with a simple principle: Your images should remain truly yours.
Empowering self-hosting
Major platforms updated their terms to claim perpetual, irrevocable rights to all user content. Most users clicked "agree" without understanding the implications.
Not just yours anymore
Platforms began aggressively harvesting and monetizing user data. The Cambridge Analytica scandal exposed how personal information was weaponized for profit and manipulation.
Free wasn't really free
AI companies harvested billions of personal images to train their models, creating commercial products from user content. Without consent or compensation.
You share, they train
Chevereto Cloud combines the simplicity of managed hosting with true content ownership. No predatory licenses. No data harvesting. No compromises.
Empowering everybody
We don't track you. We don't own your data. And we never will. We believe the internet should still be a place where your content belongs to you, no exceptions.
Start your media sharing platform in seconds. No setup, no hassle.
