Tumblr, the blogging platform is great for sharing thoughts and likes. Millions of users are part of this website, posting everyday things about diverse topics. You can do a ton of stuff on Tumblr regarding different types of media, like audios, GIFs, videos, and the most popular one, pictures. If you want to know how to find a Tumblr post from Image Url, this post is for you.
Tags are often used to make a popular post, and they can have a lot of range, even though you don’t follow the profile who shared it, as long as it matches your interests. As Tumblr posts can be shared on a lot of other social media, sometimes it can be difficult to find the source of something that caught our attention. If you are currently having this problem, the next article will be perfect for you.
How to find a Tumblr post from image URL
Although you can always try by searching up the picture through Google, the Internet is so big that the chances are very little. Try by doing the following:
METHOD #1
- Go to your browser and enter Google.
- Click on the Images section.
- Drag the picture to the searcher. We recommend you have it in a handy place on your desktop.
- It will show you similar posts, if you find the one you are looking for, open it and click on the website. Maybe it will take you to the source.
You can be lucky and find it that way. If that doesn’t work you will want to do this:
METHOD #2
- You’ll have to use a reverse image server. We recommend you use TinEye.com.
- Once you are on the website, it will show you a little window where you can paste the image or directly put the URL. You can also search it by clicking on “Upload” and selecting the picture from a folder.
- Wait for a few seconds and it will show you different websites when the picture is available.
- Scroll until you find one that has the website you are looking for, in this case, Tumblr. Or you can filter by website.
You can also try:
METHOD #3
- Maybe the URL isn’t working, so open it on your browser.
- When the picture shows up, download by clicking the right side of your mouse until the options appear.
- Save it in a handy place.
- Use the Google method we previously talked about or Uploaded to TinEye.
The problem with having only the URL of the picture is that it is connected to Tumblr’s image server, instead of the profile, so no matter how many times you paste the URL on your browser, it will always take you to the same picture on Tumblr.
How to copy a picture link from Tumblr
If you find a picture of which URL you would like to save, it is very easy to get it.
- Locate the post that has the picture.
- Right-click on top of the image. This should show you a menu of different options regarding the picture.
- Find the option that says Copy image URL and click on it.
- Paste the link whenever you want, it can be the browser to look for other websites that have it or a document.
Having the URL is helpful if you would like to download the image in better quality.
How to add a picture link to a Tumblr post
You can add a picture to a post even though you don’t have it on your device, as long as you have the URL. This method works better on the website:
METHOD #1
- Log into your profile as you would normally do.
- Tap on the pencil icon that is located at the top right corner and it will show you different options of media that you can post.
- Click on the red one with the camera on it.
- Select the right grey window that says Add images from web. It is easier if you have already copied it.
- Paste the URL.
- Click on the Insert button, and it will appear in the image. If you select the wrong picture, don’t worry, just tap on the red X button and it will delete.
- Once again you can add a description and some tags related to the post.
- Tap on the Publish button and it will show in your profile.
- You can also edit it after it was published by finding the post and selecting the pencil icon. Make sure you chose the right picture.
You can also attach the picture to your post this way:
METHOD #2
