Custom Domain ​

Custom domains let you replace the default domain in PicGo Cloud file links with your own — for example, turning https://picgocloud.com/m/xxx.jpg into https://{img.yourdomain.com}/m/xxx.jpg.

INFO

This feature can only be configured on the cloud.picgo.app web portal (Profile page). There is no custom domain UI in the GUI app.

Prerequisites ​

  • Your plan is Starter or higher (Free does not support custom domains).
  • You own a domain and can edit its DNS records.
  • You're logged in to cloud.picgo.app.

Setup steps ​

  1. Log in to cloud.picgo.app and go to the Profile page.
  2. Find the custom domain section.
  3. Enter the domain you want to use (e.g. img.yourdomain.com).
  4. The system will show the DNS records you need to add (may include CNAME and/or TXT records), with the record name and target value.
  5. Go to your domain registrar's DNS management (e.g. Cloudflare, Aliyun, Namesilo) and add the records.

DNS verification ​

After adding the DNS records:

  1. Wait for DNS propagation (anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours, depending on your registrar and TTL settings).
  2. Go back to the Profile page on cloud.picgo.app and click "Verify".
  3. Once verified, the status updates accordingly.

TIP

DNS records typically take about 5 – 10 minutes to propagate after configuration. If verification keeps failing, double-check that the DNS records are correct and give it more time. Some registrars are slower to propagate.

After verification ​

  • Your file links will use the custom domain.
  • PicGo Cloud automatically provisions an SSL certificate for your custom domain (via Cloudflare) — no manual HTTPS setup needed.

Removing a custom domain ​

You can remove the custom domain from the Profile page. After removal:

  • File links revert to the default domain.
  • Any previously shared links using the custom domain will stop working.

Things to keep in mind ​

  • Each account can bind one custom domain at a time.
  • Wildcard domains (e.g. *.yourdomain.com) are not supported.
  • If your account enters the frozen period, the custom domain is automatically disabled by the system. After you renew, it's automatically re-enabled — unless you removed it yourself during the frozen period. See Subscription lifecycle for details.
