When you finish uploading you're brought to a full webpage with the image embedded in it like this:

https://imgur.com/a/SzSKW5M

You want to right-click on the image and select 'open image in new tab' which gives you this:

https://i.imgur.com/GFTwYm3.jpg

(if you're on mobile first select 'desktop site' from the browsers options or you'll get a low quality .webp version from the open image button. It'll work, but many ppl hate it)

Finally format it like this to embed it in a post/comment:

![](https://i.imgur.com/GFTwYm3.jpg)

(I added backslashes to the front of that to prevent it embedding the link as an image and show you the formatting instead)

Thank you! This helps
