What is a shareable image link?
A shareable image link is a URL that opens a hosted image. It can be pasted into a message or used through Markdown, HTML or BBCode when the destination supports embedded images.
How to use the image link sharing tool
Create the hosted URL on the upload page, then copy the format that fits where the image will appear.
1Upload the image
Choose a supported image up to 5 MB and select retention.
2Copy an output
Use Direct URL, Markdown, HTML or BBCode.
3Paste and send
Use the link only where you have permission to share the image.
Use cases for image links
The best output depends on the platform receiving the image.
Chat and support
Paste the direct URL into a conversation or ticket.
Forums and README
Use BBCode for compatible forums or Markdown for GitHub documentation.
Blogs and web pages
Use HTML only when the editor accepts image tags.
Limitations, retention and privacy
Creating the URL requires uploading the image to the hosting service. The link may be accessible to anyone who receives it, and it follows the retention period selected before upload.
Check the destination before pasting an embed code. Do not use shareable URLs for private identity, banking, financial, confidential or rights-infringing material.
