Upload Images and Get Direct Links
Upload Images and Get Direct Links
Need a quick direct link to an image? ImgLink is the fastest way to upload any image and get a permanent, CDN-delivered direct URL - in under 10 seconds.
Three Ways to Upload
Drag and Drop
The most intuitive method. Simply drag an image file from your desktop or file browser directly onto the ImgLink upload zone. Drop it and you're done.
Clipboard Paste
Took a screenshot? Just press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) anywhere on the ImgLink page. Your clipboard image is uploaded instantly. This is incredibly useful for sharing screenshots in real-time.
Click to Browse
Click the upload zone to open your system file browser. Select one or more images and click Open. They're uploaded immediately.
Batch Uploads
You can upload up to 20 images at once:
- Drag multiple files onto the upload zone
- Or select multiple files in the browse dialog (hold Ctrl/Cmd to multi-select)
Each image gets its own unique direct link, viewer page, and embed codes.
Your Link Options
After every upload, you get five link formats:
| Format | Example | Best For |
| Direct Link | https://imglink.cc/cdn/abc.png | Embedding anywhere |
| Viewer Page | https://imglink.cc/i/abc | Sharing with context |
| Markdown | !img | GitHub, Reddit, docs |
| HTML | | Websites, blogs |
| BBCode | [img]url[/img] | Forums |
Each format has a one-click copy button. Click it and the link is in your clipboard, ready to paste.
