Image Sharing: quick guide
A photo on your phone or computer has no web address until it is uploaded somewhere others can reach. An image host stores the file and gives you links in different forms: a direct link (ending in .jpg or .png) that apps, forums and the Excel IMAGE function can show, a share page for sending to people, and ready-made HTML, BBCode or Markdown code.
Anyone with a link can open it, so treat links as public. Strip location data before sharing, choose an expiry if the image is only needed for a while, and keep your own copy: free hosts remove images under their own rules.
