Add a Hugging Face Channel

What You Need Before You Start

You only need three things:

Requirement	Purpose
Hugging Face account	Used to generate an access token and own the repository.
Hugging Face User Access Token	Used by ImgBed to access the Hugging Face API, create repositories, and upload files.
Repository name	You can enter only the repository name, for example image.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Sign in to Hugging Face and Create an Access Token

1. Sign in to Hugging Face.
2. Click your avatar in the upper-right corner and open Settings.
3. Open Access Tokens from the left sidebar.
4. Create a new token.
5. Give the token a recognizable name.
6. Select write permission.
7. Copy and save the token immediately after it is created.

Step 2: Fill in the Hugging Face Channel in ImgBed

After selecting Hugging Face in Upload Settings, fill in the fields as follows:

UI Field	What to Enter
Channel name	A name you choose, such as hf-primary.
Repository name	Either a short repo name such as image, or a full path such as username/image.
Access Token	The Hugging Face User Access Token you just created.
Private repository	Turn on or off based on your needs.
Remark	Optional, for example Primary upload channel.

Step 3: Save the Channel

After filling in the fields, click Save.

The system will then handle these details:

System Behavior	Description
Short repository name	ImgBed identifies the current Hugging Face account and expands the value into a full repository path.
Full repository path	ImgBed uses the username/repository path exactly as entered.
Repository check	If you use the current personal account path, ImgBed tries to create the repository when it does not exist. If you enter a full path manually, ImgBed uses that path directly.
Repository type	This channel uses a dataset repository.
Public/private state	The repository visibility is synchronized according to the current switch.
