In this section, we will discuss a possible image hosting platform (Imgur) and explain how to retrieve the image url.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private server<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The best option is to upload the images on a private server (e.g. from a hospital or research department).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Imgur<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to use Imgur. This is a free image hosting website. Compared to Google, there are more adds and it is not possible to create albums. However, uploading photos to Imgur is pretty straightforward and easy. You can create an account <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/register?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2F\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to upload photos to Imgur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>imgur.com<\/strong> in your web browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you are logged in. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to your user name and click on <strong>Images<\/strong> and then <strong>Add Images<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>browse<\/strong> to upload images from your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select your photos and click on <strong>open<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Imgur-photo-import.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>Video on how to upload photos to Imgur.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to retrieve an image address from Imgur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on the <strong>image<\/strong> of which you want to retrieve the image address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right-click<\/strong> the image to open the context menu, and select &#8220;<strong>Copy image address<\/strong>&#8221; (or the equivalent option in your browser).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paste the image address<\/strong> into the question settings in your m-path dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Imgur alternatives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tested Imgur alternatives for uploading and sharing images are listed below. These platforms do&nbsp;<strong>not require a login<\/strong>, making them simple and quick to use for sharing visual material in your m-Path studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/postimages.org\/\">Postimages.org<\/a><\/strong><br>Postimages is a free and user-friendly image hosting service. You can upload single images or batches, and it automatically generates direct links, forum codes, and thumbnails. You can choose how long the image stays online (from 1 day to permanent). After uploading, simply copy the provided direct link to share or embed your image wherever needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/litterbox.catbox.moe\/\">Litterbox (Catbox.moe)<\/a><\/strong><br>Litterbox is a temporary upload service from Catbox.moe. Files uploaded here are&nbsp;<strong>automatically deleted after a chosen time period<\/strong>&nbsp;(1 hour, 12 hours, 1 day, or 3 days). It\u2019s ideal for sharing temporary images or files you don\u2019t need to keep long-term. If you need a permanent link, you can instead use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/catbox.moe\/\">Catbox.moe<\/a>&nbsp;directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know of other simple,  image hosting services that provide direct links, please share them with us so we can expand this list for future use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article explains how to create questions with images.
