Overview
Share images on Reddit with a direct link
Reddit supports native image uploads in many posts, but comments, cross-posts, and some communities still need an external image URL. imgtree gives you a direct hotlink or Markdown snippet you can paste anywhere Reddit accepts links.
Guest uploads work with no account — upload a screenshot or photo, copy the link, and paste it into your post or comment.
Upload
Upload your image
Drop a file on the imgtree home page or use the Chrome extension to capture and upload a screenshot in one step.
When the upload completes, open the image page to copy the direct URL, Markdown, or HTML embed code.
Posts
Link posts and text posts
For a link post, submit the imgtree image page URL or direct file URL as the link target, depending on what the subreddit allows.
In a text post, paste the Markdown or direct URL inline. Check the subreddit rules — some restrict external image hosts or require native uploads only.
Tips
Subreddit rules and hotlinking
Always read subreddit rules before posting external image links. Some subs block non-approved domains or require OC tags for original content.
imgtree is intended for screenshots, diagrams, and photos you have the right to share. Do not upload copyrighted or illegal material — see our terms of service.
Also works on
Forums, Discord, and more
The same upload includes BBCode for forums and HTML embeds for websites. See the BBCode guide if you post on bulletin boards that require [img] tags.
Comments
Paste a link in comments
For comment threads, copy the direct image URL from imgtree and paste it into your Reddit comment. Reddit often auto-embeds image URLs on desktop and mobile.
If auto-preview does not appear, use Markdown format from the image page:  — Reddit’s comment editor supports this in many clients.
