Your work, findable. Credited. Earning.
Feeds bury your work in a day. An index keeps it findable for years.
Last updated July 15, 2026
Why upload
Every image you upload is auto-tagged, captioned, and OCR'd, then searchable by meaning, keyword, and the text inside the image. Someone hunting for “that one comic about self-custody” finds it years after every feed has buried it.
Readers tip images with Lightning zaps — Bitcoin micropayments. Tips accrue to your account balance — minus a 10% zap fee that funds spam resistance — and are withdrawable over Lightning whenever you like. No wallet is required to start: sign in with an email magic link, add Lightning later if you want the tips out.
You keep your rights
You keep ownership of your work. Uploading grants MemeStack only a non-exclusive license to host and serve it — spelled out in the license. Your name and profile link appear on every card and every image page.
Attribution travels with the image: every API listing names you, and AI tools that pull from our index receive a ready-made citation — a credit and a link back.
Your work is not used to train AI. The vision model tags images so search works; nothing trains on your uploads — that commitment is written into the terms.
The Verified Creator tier
For established creators of original visual work — and for anyone sitting on an archive of their own back-catalog — there's a hand-verified tier: a Verified Creator badge and avatar ring, uploads that skip the review queue, and a 5,000-per-day cap you'll never hit.
Creator uploads get the strongest rights treatment on the site: full copyright, all rights reserved — and every citation served to AI tools is marked with a required credit plus a backlink to your own website (or your MemeStack profile when none is set). Platform behavior — review, content rules, deletion — is spelled out in the terms.
Have a back-catalog?
Search rewards archives. Evergreen work keeps getting found — and tipped — long after the feed moved on. If you have a decade of your own cartoons, charts, or comics in a folder, that back-catalog is exactly what this index is for.
(If you curate other people's work: build public collections of images already on the platform instead — uploading work that isn't yours is against the rules.)
How to get verified
Email contact@memestack.ai — include a few links to your work — or DM @Ed_Relight on X. Every request is read and answered personally.
You can start uploading on a regular account right now — verification adds the badge and the skip-the-queue treatment on top.
Questions
Is my work used to train AI?
No. The AI tags images so people can find them; nothing trains on your uploads. Your copyright stays yours.
What's the catch?
None hidden. Delete your work anytime — we don't keep a copy (the sole exception is retention required by law). Your rights never transfer.
I already post on X — why here?
X is a feed; this is an index. Someone searching “that comic about self-custody” two years from now finds it — with your name and link on it.
