go to the page with your image
long-press until a menu pops up
select 'open image in new tab' (or new window)
go to the url
delete the _d and anything after that
replace with .jpeg
(yes it has to be jpEg, not jpg)

Nothing pops up telling me to select image in new tab.
I also don't see _d in my url. Back to the drawing board.

so apparently its browser-specific
on my android it works using the 'carbon' browser
it doesn't work using 'samsung internet' browser
what're you using?

Actually, the image extension can be any of '.gif', '.jpeg', '.jpg', '.png' (and probably more). These all work:
https://i.imgur.com/t5wC8Hg.gif
https://i.imgur.com/t5wC8Hg.jpeg
https://i.imgur.com/t5wC8Hg.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/t5wC8Hg.png

The important thing when copying an image url is that the link you're copying must refer to an 'image address' (ie, with an 'image extension' as above), not something else like a 'link address'.

Btw, the direct Imgur url to an actual image begins https://i.imgur.com... ('i.' signifying it's an image link, I suppose).

I have an android AS 21 T-Mobile phone. This is as far as I am going to play with stuff. I joined this site to discuss mathematics not to learn about browsers or url problems or cookies, or uploading issues etc.

Can you please show me by uploading a picture here (any picture) and showing me the step by step process? Is there a YouTube channel that explains how to do this? I learn best through video clips.

Sorry, I can't give any practical help because I only have a PC and laptop, not a smartphone.

Try this search on YouTube: "How to copy image url on android". That brings up many tutorials, and hopefully you'll find one that suits.

However, that will take some doing! Some have presenters with very strong accents, some in non-English, some with awful music and no vocals, some with irrelevant introductory content to ignore...etc, etc.

I couldn't find a really good video tutorial, but here are two of the better ones (though not all that easy to follow!):

how to copy Google images into url in android (many positive comments from posters)
How To Copy Image Link From Google In Mobile (positive poster comments, but one said this: "Well but you don't need to open image in new tab you can simply press on preview image and copy the link")

I found the first one easier to understand, but for your purposes, it really starts at the 1:00 minute mark. You'll probably need to watch it several times. Also, you may need to pause & replay some sections where the presenter's too quick, so that you can see the particular action she's performed on her phone.

I had thought that amnkb's tutorial would've got you over the line...

I found the following instructions on Google Support (here), and adapted them for Imgur + Android:

This is the URL of the image: https://i.imgur.com/t8F77rc.png

Note that it starts with https://i.imgur.com and ends with an image extension (png, in this case).

I will search YouTube for a video lesson. Let me see if I can solve this problem once and for all.

I read into your post that you've worked out how to obtain an image link, and to paste it, with your Android! Correct?

If so, all that's left now is for you to enclose the url in img tags to display the image...like so:

[img]image url[/img]

You said:

Can you show me what you mean by enclose the url in img tags? Which img tag specifically?

Here is my url: https://i.imgur.com/t8F77rc.png

Like this:

and here is your pic , Bob

Enclose that to show me what you mean.

Thanks.

Bob,

Here is my url:

I was told to place between the following:

When I do that, there is no picture.

Hi harpazo1965;

By clicking on the 'Quote' button in the bottom right-hand corner of someone's post (you must be logged in first), you can find out how the poster incorporated certain content in their post: eg, material using BBCodes, of which there are several categories.

Two things:

1. Image tags and the url within the image tags can't contain spaces, but yours do, and must be removed. I've marked the offending spaces with a red x:
(a) before and after the url: xhttps://imgur.com/gallery/4Gh1VYyx
(b) in the opening tag: [ximgx]
(c) in the closing tag: [x/ximgx]
Note: Image tags are a BBCode formatting option that must obey a specific syntax for them to work. See example here: BBCode (near the bottom of the 'Links and images' box).

2. The url is to a webpage, and although that page contains the image (+ other stuff), the url must be to the image itself.

See the following...

And from the image in my post #14:
"Tip: The URL starts with https://i.imgur.com, and ends with an ‘image extension’ (eg, ‘gif’, ‘jpeg’, ‘jpg’ or ‘png’)."

Your https://imgur.com/gallery/4Gh1VYy doesn't start with https://i.imgur.com, and doesn't end with an image extension...
