Image hosting for Thunkable projects
If you’re building an app in Thunkable, you know how important images are: from splash screens to product photos and icons. But managing where those images are stored and how they load inside your app can be tricky. That’s where Img.vision comes in.

Why you shouldn’t upload all your images directly to Thunkable
Thunkable lets you upload media files into your project, but there are a few downsides:
- 📦 Limited storage: your app project can quickly fill up, especially with large or many images.
- 🐢 Slower load times: images stored inside your project increase your app size, making it slower to load and update.
- 🔁 No easy updates: if you change an image, you must re-upload it and republish your app.
- 🌐 No link sharing: you can’t use the same image easily in different apps or pages.
A dedicated image hosting solution like Img.vision solves all of these problems.
Hosting images externally with Img.vision
Img.vision lets you upload all your app’s images to a secure, high-performance cloud. You’ll get fast-loading, shareable URLs for every image that you can paste directly into Thunkable blocks or data sources.
When you add images to your app using a URL source, Thunkable simply loads them from Img.vision’s global CDN, ensuring:
- ⚡ Faster loading times for your users
- 🧩 Smaller app size (since images aren’t embedded in the project)
- 🔄 Easy updates: just replace the image in Img.vision without touching your app
- 🔗 Centralized image management: one dashboard for all your visuals
