Quick tips!

• To get a githubusercontent link for an image, drag and drop the image into any issue, and copy/paste the url from the code that is automatically generated. Example code: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16319829/81180309-2b51f000-8fee-11ea-8a78-ddfe8c3412a7.png)

• If anyone knows of a very easy to use (preferably browser based, client side) app that converts a link an image in a repository to a githubusercontent/raw link, please comment with the app url

• There is no way to change the size of an image if the markdown format is of the form []() - so stop looking right now! - you must use <img> instead

• Another useful summary of conventions that do and don't work here

I tried. The exact same thing like about a week ago, but it didn't work on some images. I might be doing something wrong. I'll double check. Not sure if it might be the image extension (my images were png) and this ones jpg. Thank you!

I 100% agree! I use loom (CMD+SHIFT+2) shortcut to create a link from clipboard.. but i'd love a tool that does that w/ github!

Then I can create image links and put them directly into the commit messages while working in terminal

Thanks! I'm not led down a wild goosechase anymore

no way to change the size of an image if the markdown format is of the form []()

However it's still unfortunate that such is the case. The reason I even explored this topic was because using the <img src="" width=""> tag causes the images to not scale properly on small screens (eg mobile) or windows.

Kinda defeats the notion of markdown if I have to markup stuff to get it to work right, otherwise my images will have to be full-size.

for me in github <img> is more convenient than ![]().
This is I frequently use while working with pictures, the best part is that picture captions is easy to add

Wish GitHub would generate something simple with a prefix like StackOverflow does for us already.

My oversized phone pictures in yquake2/yquake2#1130 are ending up with a private-user-images.githubusercontent.com url, which requires a unique access token. I ended up having to use <details> to collapse it, since <img> wouldn't work.

This info is missing here.
