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.

After every upload, you get five link formats:
