Hi, All.

If I upload an image to my account web editor on P5js, is it safe for security? Maybe someone else can see it or use it without permission, right?

Thanks.  
Best,  
@bemoregt.

Hi @wonwoo,

If you upload an asset on the p5.js Web Editor, the url will look like this:

```nohighlight
https://assets.editor.p5js.org/{userId}/{uuid}.{extension}

# Like:
https://assets.editor.p5js.org/5a4921657054191d02e6dc16/66c2b5ac-5ec5-471f-a2a3-4cfb53b487ae.png

```

If you have the URL, you can access the resource. But finding a random [UUID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) that correspond to an existing image is very hard using brute force.

So I won’t say it’s secure (because there can always be a risk) but if it’s not sensitive material I would go for it. 😉

You can always look at the [source code](https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/tree/develop/server) if you find security risks 🕵️‍♀️
