Free Image Hosting for Reddit
Free Image Hosting for Reddit
Reddit supports image uploads natively, but external image hosting gives you more control - permanent links, no compression, and compatibility with all subreddits including those that don't allow direct uploads.
Why Use External Image Hosting for Reddit?
Works Everywhere
Some subreddits disable image/video uploads. External links always work in comments and text posts.
Markdown Support
Reddit uses Markdown. ImgLink gives you ready-to-paste Markdown embed codes.
Permanent Links
Reddit image links are tied to posts. If a post is deleted, the image may become inaccessible. External hosting keeps images available regardless.
Comments
You can't upload images directly in Reddit comments (without Imgur integration). External hosting solves this.
