Need to post an image on a forum, Reddit, or a message board? Learn how to get a direct image link in seconds with ImgLink. It's fast, free, and easy.

Sharing Images on Forums and Reddit Made Easy

Posting images on forums, message boards, and social platforms like Reddit is a great way to engage with communities. However, most of these sites require you to provide a direct link to an image, not a link to a webpage. If you've ever struggled with this, you're in the right place.

This guide will show you how to get a clean, direct image link in just a few seconds using ImgLink.

Step 1: Upload Your Image

There's no need to register. Just go to the ImgLink homepage and upload your image. You can: - Drag and drop your file anywhere on the page. - Click the "Upload" button to browse your files. - Paste an image directly from your clipboard (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V).

Our service supports a wide range of formats, including JPG, PNG, GIF, and even MP4 videos, with a generous 64MB file size limit.

Step 2: Grab the Direct Link

Once your upload is complete, you'll be taken to the image page. We provide several types of links, but for forums and Reddit, you'll want the Direct Link.

Look for the "Direct Link" field, which will look something like this: https://imglink.io/i/your-new-image.jpg

Click the copy button next to it. That's it! You now have the direct URL copied to your clipboard.

Step 3: Paste the Link on Your Favorite Site

Now, head over to the forum or Reddit thread where you want to share your picture. When composing your post, look for the "Insert Image" button or simply paste the link you copied.

Because it's a direct link, the platform will be able to embed the image directly into your post, so everyone can see it without having to click a link.
