Sharing images online is only effective when your links are reliable, fast, and accessible. Whether you're a forum user, blogger, developer, or casual uploader, direct image links play a crucial role in how your visuals are displayed and embedded. Khelix makes generating these links easy and user-friendly, giving both guest and registered users the tools to share without hassle.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to create direct image links on Khelix, when and why to use them, and how they can streamline your image-sharing workflow across the web.

What is a Direct Image Link?

A direct image link, sometimes called a hotlink or direct URL, points directly to the image file itself, not a webpage or album.

For example:

  • ✅ Direct link: https://khelix.top/images/yourimage.jpg

  • ❌ Indirect link: https://khelix.top/view/yourimage123

When you use a direct link, the image will load instantly in any compatible environment—whether you're embedding in a blog post, forum, or HTML code. Khelix supports this for all users, making it perfect for quick and reliable sharing.

Who Can Use Direct Links on Khelix?

✅ Guest Users

Even as a guest, you can upload images and immediately access direct URLs. However, remember:

  • Upload limit: 5 MB per file

  • Storage: 100 MB total

  • File availability: 7 days only

✅ Registered Users

With a free registered account, you get:

  • 50 MB per image

  • 1 GB total storage

  • Unlimited image lifetime

This makes direct linking even more powerful and permanent when you're logged in.

How to Generate a Direct Link on Khelix

Creating a direct link is fast and simple. Here's how:

1. Upload Your Image

Go to Khelix.top and either drag and drop your image or click the upload box. You can upload JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WEBP, or JPEG files.

2. Wait for the Upload to Finish

Once uploaded, Khelix will generate several sharing options automatically.

3. Copy the Direct URL

Look for the “Direct Link” option (usually ends in .jpg, .png, etc.). This is the link you’ll use to embed the image wherever you like.

4. Use It Where You Need

You can paste the link:

  • In blog posts

  • Inside HTML code (<img src="yourlink">)

  • On forums with image BBCode

  • In emails, documents, or presentations

Best Practices for Using Direct Links

To make the most of your direct image links, consider the following:

  • 🔒 Don’t share sensitive images publicly unless you’ve password-protected them.

  • ⏳ Avoid using guest-uploaded links for long-term content, as they will expire after 7 days.

  • 📂 Organize your files in your Khelix dashboard to easily track where each image is being used.

  • 🧩 Use registered uploads for any professional or persistent content to ensure the links won’t expire.

When to Use Direct Image Links

Direct links are ideal for:

  • Embedding in forums where BBCode is used

  • Customizing website visuals without needing additional image hosting

  • Displaying images in newsletters or emails

  • Adding images to documentation or code samples

  • Replacing assets in apps or software UIs

They ensure fast, unbranded, and uncluttered access to your visuals.
