Handy Utilities
Visitors are welcome to use these free utilities to anonymously share information like pictures, videos, files, and other media with others without disclosing any personal information such as would be revealed using email or a text message.
Case Study: You are involved in a car accident and need to share one or more images immediately with the other driver, insurance company, doctor, or police officer, OR, you have a private medical image to share with your doctor remotely. Sometimes, one or both parties may wish to remain anonymous, so how can image sharing be accomplished while maintaining confidentiality? Unlike with traditional email or SMS texts which may typically reveal the sender's and/or recipient's contact info, simply use one of these methods to send the pictures safely and securely to the other party, for free, without exposing either party's contact info.
