How to Get a Thumbnail URL

Best image hosting services to get a direct image link for your post cover

6 steps
1

Use FastPic.org (Recommended)

FastPic is a fast, free image hosting service. Go to fastpic.org, upload your image, and copy the "Direct Link" (ends in .jpg/.png).

https://fastpic.org
Right-click the uploaded image → "Copy image address" to get the direct link.
2

Use ImgBB

ImgBB is another popular option. Upload your image at imgbb.com and copy the "Direct Link" from the upload result page.

https://imgbb.com
3

Use Blogger / Blogspot

If you have a Blogger account: create a new post, insert the image, save as draft, then right-click the image in the post → "Open image in new tab" to get the direct URL.

Blogger images are served from Google infrastructure, so they are very reliable and rarely go offline.
4

Use Postimages

Go to postimages.org, upload your image without signing up, and copy the "Direct link" from the result.

5

Verify the URL Works

Paste the URL into the Thumbnail field in the post editor. A small preview will appear immediately below if the link is valid.

Never link directly to images on Google Images, Pinterest, or social media — they block hotlinking and your cover will appear broken.

Recommended Image Size

For best results, use a portrait image with a 2:3 ratio (e.g. 400×600 pixels) or a 16:9 landscape for non-movie content. JPEG format at high quality is preferred.

For movies and software, download the official poster or box art from Wikipedia or the official website for the best quality.
