Images on Inkbreaker

Custom images are a Pro feature. Free and trial accounts use the image from your sign-in provider (Google / GitHub / Discord) for your profile picture, and have no upload UI. Paid Pro accounts can upload images for their profile, piece covers, world entries, and world covers. Everything you upload stays yours; if you downgrade to free, your uploaded images stay in your library and your profile reverts to the sign-in image until you re-subscribe.

Where uploaded images appear

• Profile image: replaces the small avatar wherever you appear (comments, feed, the writer page header).
• Piece cover: renders as a banner above the title on a piece's reading page, and as a thumbnail on community feed cards.
• World entry: character / location / faction / artifact portraits and reference galleries. See the worldbuilding image guide for the world-specific details.
• World avatar and cover: small portrait and large banner for a world's public page.
• Update cover: banner on a world update's feed card and standalone page.

Uploading

Every upload goes straight from your browser to Cloudflare's CDN. Inkbreaker doesn't store the original image file on its own servers; we only keep a small database row pointing at the CDN URL plus a few facts (size, dimensions, where it's used). That means uploads complete in seconds even on a slow uplink.

When you upload:

1. Pick an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF, up to 10 MB).
2. Frame it. Profile images use a circular square crop; piece covers use a 16:9 rectangle. Drag to reposition and use the slider to zoom.
3. Click Upload. The image goes to Cloudflare; Inkbreaker confirms and updates wherever it's attached.

If you replace your profile image, Inkbreaker asks whether you want to delete the previous one or keep it in your library.

Your image library

Open Manage → Images to see every image you've uploaded, regardless of where it's attached.

The filter tabs at the top let you narrow by purpose:

• All: every image you've uploaded.
• Piece covers: images currently or previously used as piece covers.
• World entries: images attached to characters, places, factions, or other entries.
• Unused: images not currently attached anywhere. Safe to delete to free up storage.

Click any thumbnail to see it full-size. Each card shows what the image is attached to ("Used in: …"), the file size, and a Delete button. Attached images can't be deleted from the library directly; detach them from the entry or piece first.

Storage quota

Pro accounts get 500 MB of image storage by default. The usage bar at the top of the library shows where you are. If you hit the cap:

• Delete unused images from the library.
• Or pick a smaller crop the next time you upload. The cropper downscales to 2000 px wide max, but the source you start with matters: a 12 MB phone photo cropped to a small square still ends up smaller than a 10 MB photo cropped wide.

Reporting images

If you come across an image (a profile picture, a piece cover, a character portrait) that violates community guidelines, use the report button:

• On a profile picture: from the user's profile page, choose Report user → image content.
• On a piece cover: tap the report icon on the piece reading page.
• On a world entry portrait or gallery image: tap the small flag icon in the corner of the image on the public entry page.

You'll be asked to pick a reason (hate speech, harassment, spam, misinformation, sexual content, violence, self-harm, or other) and can add a short optional note. Reports go to the Inkbreaker moderation team. You'll see "Reported" on the image afterwards; you can only report each image once.

Downgrading

If you cancel Pro:

• Your uploaded images stay in your library indefinitely.
• Your profile reverts to your sign-in provider's image.
• Piece covers, world entry portraits, world covers, and update covers stop rendering as if they were never set.
• You can't upload new images while on the free plan.

Subscribe again later and everything you've uploaded reappears where it was attached.
