inkFrog Open · shut down June 1, 2026
inkFrog shut down. Here's what to do.
inkFrog Open has closed. If you ran your eBay business through it, your account, listing tools, and — the part that bites — the servers hosting your product photos went with it. The export inkFrog handed you is a CSV, and the clock is ticking on the images it points to.
What actually shut down
The inkFrog Open service, your login, and the listing manager are gone. inkFrog also hosted your listing images on its own servers (the i.frg.im domain). Many eBay listings hot-link those images, so when the hosting goes fully dark, the photos break — and you have no copy.
Why your photos are the urgent part
Your titles, prices, and descriptions are at least sitting in the CSV export. Your photos are not— the file only holds links back to inkFrog's servers. While those servers still answer, the images can be rescued. Once a link dies, that photo is gone for good. We recover well over 90% today; every day that number drops.
What to do right now
1. Find the inkFrog CSV export you downloaded. 2.Upload it to Newpad — we pull every product photo off inkFrog's servers before the links rot and rebuild your catalog, searchable. 3.If you never downloaded the export, there's honestly nothing anyone can do — that file was the only copy, and the download is gone.
Frequently asked
When did inkFrog shut down?+
inkFrog Open shut down on June 1, 2026. Logins and the listing tools went offline, and the image hosting is on borrowed time.
Can I still log in to inkFrog?+
No. The service is closed, so there's no way to log back in or re-download your export. Whatever CSV you saved before the shutdown is what you have to work with.
Will my live eBay listings break?+
If your listings hot-link images from inkFrog's servers, they'll show broken photos once that hosting goes dark. Rescuing and re-hosting your images is how you avoid that.
What is the inkFrog export?+
A large CSV file of your listings — titles, prices, descriptions, SKUs — plus links to your images on inkFrog's servers. The photos themselves are not inside it.
