Copy an image link from Imgur is straightforward, though the exact method depends on whether you re using a computer, a mobile browser, or the app. Here’s a breakdown for each:
On a Desktop Computer (Browser)
Right-Click Method (Direct URL): This is the fastest way to get the direct link to the image file (usually ending in .jpg, .png, etc.). Simply right-click on the image and select "Copy image address" (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on your browser, like "Copy image link" or "Copy image URL").
Using the Post Interface (Share Links): If you are looking for other formats like HTML or BBCode (for forums), hover your mouse over the image. Click the "…" (three dots) button that appears, then select "Get share links" to choose the format you need.
On the Imgur Mobile App (iOS/Android)
Long-Press Method: When viewing an image in the app, simply press and hold your finger on the image until a menu pops up. Select "Copy link" from that menu.
On a Mobile Browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari)
Using the Menu Button: Open the image you want. Look for the "…" (three dots) button located near the top-right corner of the image itself (not the browser is menu). Tap it and select "Copy link".
A Quick Tip on Image vs. Post Links
Direct Image Link: This points directly to the image file (e.g., https://i.imgur.com/YourImageID.jpg). You get this by right-clicking and selecting "Copy image address."
Post Link: This points to the Imgur webpage where the image lives (e.g., https://imgur.com/gallery/YourID). The "Copy link" options on mobile usually copy this type of link.
