When you upload an image as a guest on AR Host, it stays available for 7 days. After that, it’s automatically deleted to save space and maintain performance. But what if you need that image again or forgot to register before uploading?
Don’t worry! In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily re-upload expired images on AR Host—this time with longer storage and better features. 🛡️
📉 Why Guest Uploads Expire
Guest uploads are designed for quick, temporary sharing. Since no account is linked, AR Host deletes them after 7 days to maintain privacy and free up server space.
🕒 What Happens After 7 Days?
- Image is permanently deleted.
- Direct link stops working.
- No option to recover or manage the image.
That’s why re-uploading is important if you still need the image!
📁 Step-by-Step: How to Re-Upload Expired Images
Here’s how to re-upload an image that was previously uploaded as a guest and has expired:
1️⃣ Find the Original Image File
Make sure you still have the image saved locally on your device.
2️⃣ Log In or Create an AR Host Account
Registered users get:
- Permanent storage
- Larger uploads (up to 50MB)
- Password protection
- Full image management
3️⃣ Upload the Image Again
Use the upload button, drag-and-drop, or copy-paste.
4️⃣ Use Features Like Password Protection
Want to keep your image private? Set a password while uploading!
5️⃣ Get Your New Direct Link
Copy the new image URL and share it via email, social media, or embed it on your site.
🚀 Why Re-Upload as a Registered User?

📝 Final Thoughts
