IPad | How do I copy and paste an image link? Seems iPad's only option is to save the picture.

Is there a way to copy the picture's URL and paste it into my post?

1. Sure.

Open image in new tab; copy URL from address bar (select all/copy)

-or-

Save image, upload to imgur.com using imguruploader.

2. How do you open image in new tab if you don't know the URL of the image? (nt)

3. Yeah, that's pretty much the same question I had.

You need a way to get the picture's URL. If you could get that you wouldn't need to upload it anywhere.

4. I usually just click on the image to open in a new tab

Or if using Google image search, just highlight, copy and paste the URL from my search.

5. On iPhone/iPad?

Because that doesn't work on mine.

6. The first thing that came up was linked off imgur, but it's pretty funny, so ...

I'm using an iPad 1 and an iPhone 4S.

7. I think I figured it out.

If you click and hold on an image, you get two buttons: "Save Image" and "Copy." I always thought "Copy" was to copy the image itself, but apparently it copies the image URL.

So that should do it. Thanks.

8. I tried that on my iPad and it seems not to work

I clicked and held an image in a page opened in Safari.

I just tried a few times to paste it into a DU post window (like the one I am using to post this) but with no success.

Did you get it to work? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

9. See this image; sometimes pictures help when words fail me:

10. This reply is from my MacBookPro

In Firefox:

Right Click/Copy Image Location (gets the picture's URL onto my clipboard)

Left Click/Paste (pastes image URL)

11. This reply is from my iPad

I hover on the image and get two menu choices in a window otherwise like yours. I get Copy and Save Image. The options to Open, Open In New Tab, and Add to Reading List don't appear.

Anyway, I choose Copy.

Then I return to this post and hover in the window, get the magnifying glass, and select Paste.

Nothing happens.

12. Sorry I'm late to the thread, here's the answer...

Press on image. Select copy.

Open a new tab in Safari or go to a text program.

Paste and voila, you see the path for the image. Copy that text and paste it anywhere.

Dunno why you have to paste it somewhere first, but you do.

You can't copy an image's address and paste it straight into a post on DU.

13. Yes you can - not one click, but see my screenshot.

15. Yahoooooo!

16. The need to paste someplace else first is kind stupid, huh?

Maybe they'll fix that in the next OS release.

[REP]

18. It's fixed NOW on iPad as I've demonstrated ... at least "open in new tab" works just fine

14. Long touch to get that dialog in my screenshot

I don't have a special iPad!

Touch image until save/copy appear. Keep touching it until the dialog in my screenshot open.

17. From my iPhone:

1. Touch image.

2. Select copy

3. Open new tab

4. Touch address bar, select paste

5. Touch address bar, touch "select all", then "copy"

6. Close tab

7. Paste image URL where desired
