The open-source, S3-native file hosting platform.
Image bed, file sharing, and backup — powered by S3, deployed anywhere.
ZPan is a lightweight file hosting platform built on top of S3-compatible storage. Files upload directly from the client to S3, bypassing server bandwidth entirely.
Three scenarios, one platform:
- Image Bed — Upload via PicGo / ShareX / API, get a URL instantly
- File Sharing — Upload files, generate share links, distribute to anyone
- File Backup — CLI agent syncs local directories to S3/R2
One-click deploy with zero server management. Free tier covers personal use.
docker compose up -d- Zero bandwidth bottleneck — files transfer directly between client and S3
- Zero ops option — deploy to Cloudflare Pages for free, no server needed
- Self-host friendly — Docker deployment with any S3-compatible storage
- Tool ecosystem — works with PicGo, ShareX, Flameshot out of the box
- Open source — free forever for self-hosted users
