Image Hoist for Obsidian

Stop worrying about heavy notes and broken images.

Image Hoist is the ultimate tool to keep your Obsidian vault light, fast, and 100% shareable. It automatically takes your local images, moves them to the cloud (ImgBB), and replaces them with links that work anywhere.

🌟 Why you need Image Hoist

• Save Massive Space: Stop hoarding gigabytes of images in your vault. Keep your storage for what matters: your ideas.
• Lightning-Fast Sync: Since your images are in the cloud, syncing your notes across devices (mobile, tablet, desktop) becomes instant.
• Share Without Friction: When you copy-paste a note to a blog, email, or another person, your images will actually show up! No more broken links.
• Zero Effort: Paste an image and forget about it. The plugin handles the upload and link replacement in the background.

🚀 Key Benefits

• Set and Forget: Enable "Auto-hoist" and every image you paste goes straight to the cloud. No local files, no clutter.
• Smart Uploads: Already uploaded the same image? The plugin is smart enough to recognize it and reuse the existing link instantly.
• Note Cleanup: Got an old note full of local images? One click and the whole note is "hoisted" to the cloud.
• Safe & Secure: Your images are yours. Your access keys are kept private and secure within Obsidian.

🛠️ Quick Start

1. Install: Add the plugin to your Obsidian vault.
2. Connect: Get a free key from ImgBB and paste it into the plugin settings.
3. Enjoy: Start pasting images or right-click any existing image to "hoist" it.

📖 How to use it

• Drag & Drop: Just drag an image into your note—it goes straight to the cloud (if enabled).
• Right-Click: See a local image? Right-click and select Hoist this image.
• The Magic Button: Use the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and run Hoist all images in current note to clean up an entire page at once.
