Free tier	No published total quota; per-post caps only. Effectively unlimited posts. unit unlimited; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Free viewing, but images are re-encoded and served via i.pximg.net with a Referer check that blocks hotlinking from other origins. Not a usable direct-link CDN.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	unknown wrapper-only
Tooling	No official public upload API. pixivpy works for read; upload requires session-cookie replay and 2FA-prone flows.
Composes with	Unlimited accounts x unlimited posts x 32 MB. The 32 MB per-illustration cap is generous for an image host.
Reliability	Referer-gated CDN means links are not freely hotlinkable, and re-encode is standard. Fails direct-link permanence.
Notes	No published total quota; per-post caps only. Effectively unlimited posts.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
Checked	2026-10-21 (inherited); stale on 2026-11-04
