Catbox

About

Catbox is a free, proprietary online file hosting service originating from the United States. It offers 100% free file hosting without ads, throttling, or download limits, allowing users to upload files up to 200 MB and keep them indefinitely. The platform supports NSFW content and provides options for users to track uploads with an account or remain anonymous, emphasizing a privacy-focused and lightweight experience with no registration required and a dark mode feature. Beyond file hosting, it also offers URL shortening. While praised for its simplicity and effectiveness for sharing direct links, user reviews highlight a somewhat poor UI, issues with remembering filenames, and login persistence. Some users also note slow download speeds for larger files (e.g., 15MB+ GIFs or AVIFs), making it less ideal for hotlinking very large media.
