How to Post a Screenshot on Reddit (Image or Link)

Reddit lets you attach an image to a post, but you cannot upload an image directly into a comment or a reply on most subreddits. When you want to drop a screenshot into a discussion, the reliable answer is to share a link to it. Here are both routes.

Posting a screenshot as an image post

  1. Click Create Post, choose the Images & Video tab, and upload your screenshot.
  2. Add a title and pick your subreddit. Check the sub's rules first — some do not allow image posts.

Sharing a screenshot in a comment

Comments do not accept image uploads, so you need a URL:

  1. Open sshot.online and paste your screenshot with Ctrl/Cmd + V.
  2. Copy the share link.
  3. Paste it into your comment or reply.

The link opens a clean page with your image — no account needed for anyone to view it.

Tips for Reddit screenshots

  • Crop tight so the point is obvious in the thumbnail.
  • Redact personal info — usernames, emails, order numbers — before you post. See how to annotate a screenshot.
  • Use a link for edits — you can swap what a link points to more easily than re-uploading to a post.

The same link works anywhere else you discuss it — a Discord server, a ticket, or a doc. It is free and takes about a second.
