How to Migrate Gitee Image Hosting to Cloud Servers Using the PicGo Plugin
This guide explains why Gitee's new anti‑hotlinking measures break image links in blogs and provides a step‑by‑step tutorial for migrating those images to cloud servers using the PicGo plugin, ensuring your articles remain accessible and backed up locally.
Recently many programmers who write blogs have been frustrated because Gitee's image hosting added anti‑hotlinking, causing previously uploaded images to disappear.
Similar to earlier changes on other free image hosts, the new restrictions can break hundreds of images in existing posts, making manual replacement tedious.
The author recommends migrating images to a cloud server (e.g., Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud) where free monthly traffic is sufficient.
The migration can be done easily with the PicGo plugin picgo-plugin-pic-migrater . First, configure your preferred image bed in PicGo.
Then install the migration plugin via PicGo's plugin settings, restart PicGo, and select the folder containing the markdown files you want to process.
PicGo will scan the files, upload the images to the new host, and replace the markdown image links automatically. Wait for the upload success messages, and the migration is complete.
Finally, the author hopes Gitee's change will not dampen the enthusiasm for blogging and encourages keeping local backups of blog content.
