How to Easily Get Imgur Links on Computer and Phone

In today's digital age, sharing photos and videos has become an integral part of our online lives. However, some platforms, like Reddit, don't offer a built-in option for uploading and sharing media. That's where Imgur comes in. Imgur is a popular photo and video hosting service that allows you to easily add images and videos to your posts, forums, or any other platform. In this article, we will guide you through the process of getting Imgur links to any image or video, whether you're using a computer or a phone.

How to Upload and Get a Link to an Image/Video on Imgur

Imgur offers unlimited free image and video uploads. Once you've uploaded your media, you can easily get a link to share it with anyone on any platform.

On Computer:

1. Open the Imgur website on your preferred browser and click on the “New post” button at the top left corner.
   

2. On the pop-up window, click on the “Choose Photo/Video” option and select the files you want to upload. You can select up to 50 files.
   

3. Once uploaded, all the selected photos/videos will be added to a gallery/album.

4. To get the link to a specific image/video, hover over it and click on the “Copy link” option.
   

5. You can now share the copied link anywhere. When opened, the link will take users to the Imgur page displaying only the selected image/video.

6. To get a link to the entire gallery/album, click on the “Grab link” button in the right sidebar. Then click on the “Copy Link” button in the pop-up window.
   

7. Share the copied link anywhere you want. Opening this link will display the Imgur page with all the images/videos in the gallery/album.

On Phone:

1. Open the Imgur app and tap on the “Upload” icon in the bottom bar.

2. Grant the app permission to access your media if you haven't already. Then select the images/videos you want to upload and tap on the “Next” option at the top right corner.
   

3. On the next page, tap on the “Post/Upload” button to upload your media.

4. Once uploaded, tap on the “Profile” icon and select the uploaded post.

5. To share a single image/video from the uploaded content, tap on it and then tap on the “Share” icon (arrow icon) at the bottom.

6. Select the “Copy Link” option, available on both iPhone and Android devices.

7. If you want to share the entire album, tap on the “Share” icon from the album page and then click on the “Copy Link” option. This link will redirect users to the entire album instead of a specific media file.

How to Copy Links to Old Images/Videos or Albums

If you want to copy a link to a media file you uploaded some time ago, the process is slightly different. Make sure you're signed in to your Imgur account for this to work.

On Computer:

1. Open Imgur on your browser and sign in to the account where you uploaded the media. Click on your username at the top right corner and select the “Posts” option from the drop-down menu.
   

2. Open the gallery or album where you uploaded the files.

3. Hover over the photo/video in the gallery and click on the “Copy link” option to copy its link.

4. To copy the entire album link, click on the “Grab Link” button in the sidebar and then click on the “Copy Link” button in the pop-up window.
   

On Phone:

1. Open the Imgur app and tap on the “Profile” icon (person icon) in the bottom bar.

2. Here, you'll find all your uploaded albums. If your album isn't visible, tap on the “Public” or “Hidden” option at the top and then select “All”.

3. Open the album and tap on the photo/video you want to copy the link for.

4. Tap on the “Share” icon (arrow icon) at the bottom and then tap on the “Copy Link” option to copy the link to that specific photo/video.

5. To share the link to the entire album, tap on the “Share” icon at the bottom of the album page and select the “Copy Link” option. Paste the link wherever you want to share the image/video.

How to Get a Direct Link to Any Image/Video on Imgur

By default, when you copy a link using the methods above, you're copying the link to an Imgur page that hosts only the selected image/video. However, if you prefer to copy the direct link to the image or video itself (not the webpage), there are a few workarounds.

Simply open the image/video you want to get the link for, right-click on it, and select the “Copy image address” or “Copy video address” option. This will copy the direct link to the image or video.
