FAQ15 - How do I find an image URL? by Gasara on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
Information
- URL (uniform resource locator) refers to the specific location of an item on the internet. It is also referred to as a web address and is used to identify and link to specific pages and content.
- In order for your image to display you must make sure you use the URL of the image, not the page that it is on. This mistake is the most common cause of errors when using images.
- Image URLs will always end in an image file type (PNG, JPG, GIF) whereas web pages will end in a web extension (HTML, ASP, PHP).
Instructions
The option for copying an image URL varies slightly between browsers though the method is the same. If you are using a Mac then you you need to Ctrl-click instead of right-click to bring up the menu. All of these options automatically copy the URL so you simply have to paste it into your image HTML code.
Chrome / Opera / Safari Right-click on the image and click on Copy Image Address.
Firefox Right-click on the image and click on Copy Image Location.
Microsoft Edge Right-click on the image and click on Copy Picture.
