Step-by-Step Guide

2. 2

   Step 2: Make sure you're viewing the original version of the image.

   If you get the URL now, you'll only be getting the URL for the thumbnail.
   
   Make sure the full-size image is loaded in your browser.
   
   For example, the images in this LifeGuide Hub article are actually thumbnails.
   
   To see the full-size version, you'd need to click the image to open the full-size version in a new window. , Once you've found the image that you want to get the URL for, right-click on it if you're using a computer or press and hold on it if you're using a mobile device.
   
   If you're using a Mac with a one-button mouse, hold Ctrl and click the image to open the right-click menu.

   - "Copy image address" Chrome (mobile)
   - "Copy image URL" Internet Explorer
   - "Copy" Safari (iOS)

   This only works if the image is not a link.
   
   If the image is a link to another page, you cannot get the URL using Safari for iOS) Safari (OS X)
   - "Copy image address" Firefox
   - "Copy Image Location"
   
   Once you've copied the image URL, it will be copied to your device's clipboard.
   
   You can then paste it anywhere you'd like, such as a message, document, or a browser's address bar.
   
   If you copy something else before pasting it, the copied URL will be overwritten with whatever you copied last.
