How to add Pictures and GIFs to Steemit posts

in #steem-help10 years ago

If you are new to Steemit, Welcome!!! In this post I’ll show you how to add pictures and GIFs.

• Create a folder on your desktop to store your pictures /GIFs
• Got to http://imgur.com/ and click new post

• Next drag your picture, GIF over to the box.


• Move your mouse cursors over the picture / GIF and copy the URL.

• When you are ready to post, paste the URL and add .gif for GIFs and .jpg for pictures like I have in the box below. I hope this helps!

When you click post this is what it should look like.

This was amazing! It works like a charm. The techchat team will be using this tool from now on! ❤️

Great GIF! :D "so you're tellin me there's a chance"

I'm new to steem it and was trying to figure out how to add an image.
Glad I found your post!

Your post is very helpful to get me started to add picture to my first post. However, the last point isn't quite clear to me. So, I just pasted the url (with .jpg added for my picture) onto the body of the post where the preview of text is located. But nothing happened. Then I tried another approach. I clicked on the image icon in the editor box, then pasted the url into the rectangular box that appeared. After that I clicked on the check mark beside it to submit and the picture appeared in the preview body where I wanted it to go. But when I got ready to post it gave me an error message that reads "An image in this post did not save properly".

Well, once again I had to search for solution. Again, some were helpful but still got me nowhere until I stumbled around and got it solved.

Thanks for the very useful, easy to follow and helpful directions.

How do I know where to get GIFs that are free to share?
