Get the correct image URL

Byg needs the file URL, not the hosting website’s viewer page.
  1. Upload the image to an image host.
  2. Copy Direct link, Direct URL, or Image URL.
  3. Open the copied URL in a new browser tab.
  4. Confirm that the tab displays only the image. If it opens a page with buttons or comments, copy the direct link instead.
  5. Paste that URL into Byg Gallery or Markdown.
The URL should use https://. It may end in .jpg, .png, .gif, or .webp, but an extension is not required if the URL serves the image directly.

Free hosting and image CDN options

Free limits and policies change, so check each provider before relying on it for important images:
  • Cloudinary — image hosting, transformations, optimization, and CDN delivery. Its URL format is documented here.
  • ImageKit — image storage, optimization, transformations, and CDN delivery. See its CDN documentation.
  • ImgBB — simple free image hosting with direct links. Its official API also returns image URLs.
Do not upload private or sensitive images to a public host. Keep a copy of anything you may need to restore later.
