I find this to be a more convenient way to upload images to Imgur. You need:

By using the app you can still edit/delete the image. Videos aren’t supported by the shortcut. It’s a super simple shortcut, but using it means you can upload the image/s via share sheet and automatically get the url in your clipboard.

FYI: TIL of 2 privacy friendly imgur alternatives

Seen on Suggesting: Embedding images and files : privacy

This first one integrates with ShareX (AFAIK it's Windows only):

    Genuine question: since the images are public either way, what’s the main concern regarding privacy? Having the app on your phone? Imgur getting information about people viewing the image?

    (...) Imgur (...) shares user and usage data with the worst existing advertising companies, which makes it in little less than spyware.

    It’s definitely more convenient, especially if you don’t want to grant Imgur access to your entire photo library (which I don’t). It’s super annoying how many apps still require that, even when there’s a system image picker available that‘s better in every way.
