# Obsidian Pinata Image Uploader

![](https://blobs.farfield.systems/blobs/bafkreidlmofhpt2afiu2obhnt6gmfm2tf2nnuqxqloq5xlgs47xgh5w2qm)

[REPO](https://github.com/iammatthias/obsidian-pinata-image-uploader)

A plugin for [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) that uploads embedded images to [Pinata](https://pinata.cloud/). The plugin replaces both local and remote image references in markdown with `ipfs://` URIs, and handles gateway proxying for image display.
