[GUIDE] How do I post Images ? : The basics
![Duo37]( I have had people ask me, how do I post my own image/photo up on Duolingo.
And while I have, some years ago, posted some other advice on posting images, these do not seem to be explaining it adequately, to assist all people. Different explanations suit different people at different times.
So here is a new one that hopefully may help.
Let's say you wish to share a screen shot, such as the post here.

So to show your unique image up on a Duolingo forum, you need to put (host) this the image up on the web,
Currently I mainly use imgur.com . Though there are lot of others to choose from as well.
To read about other image hosting sites, perhaps check out : https://www.wix.com/blog/photography/20 ... ing-sites/
Or perhaps others would like to recommend some?
To copy an image to imgur
Step 1. Copy your image to your clipboard.
If you are using a Windows platform on Windows 10 :
- Hold down the "windows key" on your keyboard. ![](
- Plus/at the same time hold down your left hand shift key
- Plus/at the same time press the letter "s"
i.e. " ![]( " + "SHIFT" + "s"
This brings up the snipping tool, that you can then click and drag your mouse over the image you wish to save to your clipboard.

Step 2. Copy your image to imgur.com
With your image in your "clipboard" :
- Go to imgur : i.e.
https://imgur.com/upload
- Hover your mouse over "Drop Images here", and hold the "ctrl" + "v" key down. This should paste your image to imgur.
i.e. ![](
Step 3. Copy the imgur address for your image
Hover your mouse over your image, and press your right mouse button. This should give you a pop up window, which includes the option "Copy image address"
![pop up window](
Move your mouse over "Copy image address", and click
You now have the imgur internet address for this image in your clip board.
Now, open your comment in the Duolingo forums, where you want to share your image.
When you have the Duolingo Forum text box open, hold the "ctrl" + "v" key down. This should paste your clipboard imgur address to the text box.
It should look something like :
https://i.imgur.com/hiZTUjv.png
Though the address will be different code/numbers, that are unique to your post/image.Now, go to the start of this address, and add :
![](
And at the end of this address, add
)
Your address to reference your image should now look something like :
![][(https://i.imgur.com/hiZTUjv.png)
When you save your comment, the Duolingo text editor should now be able to render your image for others to see.
