In newer version of Typora (≥ 0.9.9.32 on macOS or 0.9.84 on Windows / Linux), we added a “upload image” function to upload images to a cloud image storage via 3rd apps or scripts.
Its motivation is that, since markdown files is just plain text files, when you embed images, the markdown files does not “own” those images, but just keep a weak reference to used external image files. When you move or share markdown files, those images should also be moved or shared, which brings maintaince costs. But if those images are hosted online, you can move or share markdown files freely without maintaining the reference between text plain and the images it used.
Typora now supports apps like iPic, uPic, PicGo, etc, which is able to upload your images into Imgur, Flickr, Amazon S3, Github, or other image hosting services.
Before you use this feature, please notice that Typora does not own those image uploader apps or cloud storage services, they are all 3rd services, so please take care about their license, user agreement, privacy policy, service stability and reliability by yourself. By using this feature after enabled in preferences panel, Typora will pass the path of used images to those 3rd tools, then they will upload your images to a 3rd (or 4th) cloud image storage, Typora has no control or guarantee over this process, so please pick up a reliable service to ensure your data security. Besides the privacy and reliability issues, some service may have an expiration time for hosting your images, some service may not provide a “delete” function even after you uploaded sensitive images by accident, and service follows laws that is not in your country, banning certain type of images or users in certain country, etc. In short, please read their manual then choose the app and service for uploading images.
You can enable and config image uploader in preferences panel, we provide integrations with following apps / tools:
After select one option, you may need to download and installed the required app, do simple configuration of which cloud storage you want to host your images on that app, then click “Test Uploader” to test if Typora can upload local images using current service and configuration.
