About Mork
Mork shortens links and hosts images, video and audio, in one place and without an account. This page sets out what the service actually does with your files, how long anything is kept, and how to reach someone when something goes wrong.
What Mork is for
Sharing something usually means picking a tool per file type: one site for a long URL, another for a photo, a third for a clip. Mork does the four in one place, and gives each of them the same controls — a password, a deadline, a view limit — so that the way you protect a link does not depend on what is behind it.
No account is required for any of it. Signing in adds capacity and moves your records off this browser and onto the account, but nothing is held back behind a sign-up.
What happens to a file you upload
- Location data is removed before the file leaves your device Photos usually record where they were taken. Mork strips EXIF, GPS and XMP in your browser, so the original never reaches the server. JPEG and PNG are re-encoded; GIF has its non-picture blocks removed one at a time, so the animation survives.
- Redaction destroys the pixels When you mosaic something out in the editor, those pixels are destroyed before the file is written — not covered by a layer that someone could peel off afterwards.
- Files go straight to storage, not through the site Uploads are sent directly to object storage with a short-lived signed URL, and are served the same way. The bucket is not public: without a valid signature there is no address that works.
- Views are counted per person The same visitor opening a link twice still counts once, which is what makes a view limit behave like a real limit rather than a rough guess.
How long anything is kept
A deadline can be anywhere from one minute to 30 days; signed in, you can choose no deadline at all. A view limit can be set up to 1,000. Plain short links store no file, so the 30-day ceiling does not apply to them. The full detail — every field recorded, and every third party involved — is in the privacy policy, last revised Aug. 14, 2026.
One thing worth saying plainly: when a link expires or you delete it, the link stops working immediately and nobody can open it — but the file itself stays in storage. There is no automatic purge yet. It is something being built, and until it exists, not uploading something is a better protection than deleting it afterwards.
If you need a particular file actually removed, ask and it will be done by hand.
Reporting something
Anonymous uploads mean the service can be misused, so there is a way to report it from the content itself.
- Report a problem — on the page itself Every image, video and audio page carries a Report a problem button. It opens a form with the address of that page already filled in, so you do not have to copy anything.
- By email Write to [email protected] — this is also the route for asking that a file be deleted, or for anything about your own data.
- The feedback form The feedback form is for questions and suggestions about the service rather than reports about a specific link.
If a report is about a password-protected link, please include the password — without it the link cannot be opened to check.
Getting in touch
The quickest routes are the Facebook page and a direct message; email reaches the same people. Partnership proposals of any kind are welcome, and the arrangements already in place are described on the Partners page.
