Discord Image Link Preview Tips

Discord automatically embeds many image URLs as previews in channels and DMs. Here is how to get reliable previews with imagetourls.com. ## Use the direct Link format After upload, open **Embed Post** and copy **Link** (direct URL). Paste into Discord — you should see a thumbnail preview.

## Prefer common image formats Discord previews work best with JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Very large files may fail to preview on slow connections. ## When preview does not appear 1. Confirm the URL starts with `https://` and opens in a browser tab. 2. Re-copy **Link** from Embed Post — not HTML or Markdown. 3. Wait a few seconds; Discord caches previews. 4. Check file size — extremely large images may not embed. ## Markdown vs Link on Discord Discord does **not** render Reddit-style Markdown image syntax in chat. Always paste the **direct Link** for previews. ## Privacy note Anyone with the link can open the image. Free anonymous uploads auto-delete after 7 days. Upload on imagetourls.com, copy Link from Embed Post, and paste into your server or DM.
