Kepkezelo.com was a minor Hungarian image hosting service that seems to have been in operation between 2008 and 2021. It was quite unreliable and had several bugs.
Closure
In 2021, some time between July 8th and November 6th, kepkezelo.com started to redirect to kepkuldes.com, which seems to be a different, already existing image hosting website. Links to kepkezelo.com, for which you can find examples below, seem to have ceased working.

Archiving
user:bzc6p made a discovery using the "random picture" function of the site in January 2015, and downloaded the discovered pictures. Here is the archive ~45,000 images downloaded, ~17 GiB total. It looks like the archive has been ingested into the Wayback Machine, so most of the pictures uploaded between July 2014 and January 2015 should be avaialble in the Wayback Machine if you enter some kind of URL to the image.
After that, the "random image" button did very rarely show newer pictures, and even Google search showed only few of them, so discovery wouldn't have been effective, so the archiving couldn't really be continued. This kept being the status until the closure, so only the images mentioned above were archived proactively. A sporadic coverage of other images, as part of the Internet Archive's web crawl, is also possible.
