Steemit - Tutorial - This is how to upload pictures/videos
xavier1 (42) in new • 2 years ago
For those of you that are new to Steemit, first of all welcome! If you just can't figure out how to upload pictures and video's, you're not alone. I've put together a quick tutorial, trying to make the process as quick and simple as possible.

Find an image hosting website. For our purposes we'll use https://imgsafe.org
Upload your image to the website. With imgsafe.org you can literally just drag a file from anywhere on your computer to anywhere on that webpage and it'll know what you want to do with it. You will see a thumbnail of your image, and just below that you'll find an "Upload button". Click that button, then you'll see a loading bar and when it disappears, you image has been uploaded.
Now simply click on the thumbnail, and you'll get a new page opened up with nothing but your picture on it. It should look like this:
Now simply highlight and copy the website address of the new page that has nothing but your image on it. Then paste it into the box on your Steemit post specifically for linking pictures.
Click the check mark and Taa-Daa. Your picture is now part of your Steemit post.
You may use an alternative image hosting website and repeat the same steps. You may not get the simplicity of being able to drag and drop though, depending on the particular site.

In regards to videos, simple copy and paste a link from youtube directly onto your Steemit post, where you normally enter text. In order to upload videos to Youtube, instructions can be found in this video

Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time with Steemit!

A promising alternative seems to be @blueorgy's Steemimg site, since other sites seem to drop links after a while.

I have never once seen anybody actually specify which hosting site they've used in their posts unless it's something like this. I've also never seen confirmed dropped image links either, just broken links to what appeared to be people trying to upload incompatible image formats, or them making another error in the process at some point. I don't know how you verified that this wasn't the case, and that they didn't use https://www.steemimg.com for the "dropped links" but either way https://www.steemimg.com seems like it's good, so I don't think you can go wrong either way. I acknowledge that https://www.steemimg.com was designed with Steemit in mind so I'm sure it's comparable in reliability to the Steem itself. Therefore it should be good.

that's why I called it "promising," as it was designed with Steemit in mind and from a community member. Time will tell, though :)

So you have to upload from YouTube? No way to upload directly from iPhone? Thanks for the info!

Thank you! Very helpful. I've uploaded pictures to photo sites, but never posted to a social media site before. Looks like Steemit will be my first.

Another one I like to use is https://postimage.org . It's good for quickly resizing your images as part of the upload process, though it doesn't have drag and drop.

Question! Every time I put a pic on the img safe site, it says [object Object] and doesn't click to another page. If I put a flower or other thing. If it has a person in it, it doesn't do that. Like my profile now has a cat in it. Anyway, thanks for the help. Just getting started here @xavier1

I remember once when I could easily upload a picture from my desktop. The changes they have now made are soo difficult, I can't upload one picture even going through this method.
