Tips for using links from popular image hosting sites

Inline images can be hosted by a third-party site like Tumblr or Flickr.

If you use Google Photos, please note that their links expire after a certain timeframe: they may work for a while but will not work long-term.

We use embed.ly to embed images on our website. We can only embed images from the providers that embed.ly supports. Click here to see the list of supported providers.
You can Test your URL to ensure that your image will post. Add your URL and click the arrow link to the right. If you find an error in the “type” field, your image URL will not post properly, and you’ll want to make sure you have the correct link.

Using links from Tumblr?

If you are using photo links from Tumblr, right-click on your image, click "Copy Image Address," and insert that URL into the link field of your post.

Using links from Flickr?

If you’re finding the message “Invalid Media” you can grab your URL and Test your link. Scroll down to where you find “URL” and copy the longer URL. Add this to the link field of your post.

Instagram

Sharing images from Instagram? Make sure your account is not marked as private. Images on private accounts aren’t shareable in posts as they are meant only for your approved Instagram followers.
