I don't support uploading images to the test server at for example

https://davidcarlisle.github.io/latexcgi/run

However any server that makes use of this script can use available images in documents that are uploaded for example

https://davidcarlisle.github.io/latexcgi/test2#scottish-play

shows an image of Macbeth that is on the server and

https://www.learnlatex.org/en/lesson-07

shows use of example-image graphics that are available via texlive.

In the http post submission perl code I don't support any binary files or unpack any encoded files, the attachments are just stored as-is so basically just text/plain uploads.

It's not an unreasonable request but this is a free service offered with no user login, and I have to balance the risks.

The http post handler of course is open source and available from here so on your own server you are free to use a modified version that handles the content encoding of the multipart/form-data fields and unpacks binary files appropriately but I don't want to handle that at the open server running at texlive.net, sorry.
