How to fix Imgur not working
Imgur is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach imgur.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Imgur.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While Imgur is down: what to use instead
- The web version If the app will not load, open the same image or gallery in a mobile browser and sign in there; it can get you to your uploads when the app alone is failing.
- ImgBB Use it for a quick share link when the service will not take an upload, since it gives you a direct image page you can pass along.
- Postimages It suits forum posts that need a simple image link.
- Google Drive Upload the file and set sharing to anyone with the link when you need a stable download page instead of an image host.

How we track Imgur
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Imgur, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Imgur, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Imgur doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
