The image is the link.

That little picture above is encoded entirely inside its own URL. No server stores it; no database; nothing to look up. The whole image rides along in the text of the link.

So it travels wherever a link can travel: a mesh radio chat (Meshtastic, MeshCore), a group thread, a sticker with a QR code. Paste px.camp/#… into any conversation and whoever taps it sees the picture.

Images are tiny on purpose: a few hundred bytes, small enough to fit one short radio message. Lo-fi by necessity, and we lean into it.

Load this page once with a connection and it keeps working with none. Decode links and (soon) make your own, fully offline.

Make your own: coming soon.

what is this?
The whole image is encoded inside this link: no server stores it. It travels wherever text travels (mesh radio, group chat, a QR code) and decodes right here in your browser, even offline. More.
