One of Khelix's most powerful features is how easily it lets users share uploaded images across different platforms. Whether you’re posting on a forum, embedding on a website, or sending via email, Khelix provides multiple ready-to-use link formats—each suited to different use cases. But for new users, it can be confusing to know which option to use.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the Direct, BBCode, and HTML link sharing options Khelix offers, when to use each, and how they help simplify your workflow.

🔗 What Happens After You Upload an Image on Khelix

Once you've uploaded an image—either as a guest or a registered user—Khelix generates a set of links for sharing. These links include:

  • Direct Link (URL)

  • BBCode

  • HTML Code

These sharing formats are automatically generated for every image and accessible from your upload page or user dashboard.

Let’s break down each one, where it’s commonly used, and best practices for applying them.

1. 🌐 Direct Link (URL)

The Direct Link is the actual web address of the image itself.

Format:

https://khelix.top/uploads/imagefilename.jpg

When to Use:

  • Sharing via messaging apps (WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram)

  • Posting on social media

  • Sending in emails or documents

  • Uploading to platforms that accept image URLs (e.g., Shopify, Notion)

Why It’s Useful:

  • Loads only the image (no Khelix UI)

  • Fastest loading

  • Universally supported

2. 🧩 BBCode

BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) is used primarily in forums, message boards, and community platforms like Reddit clones, PHPBB forums, and older platforms.

Format:

[img]https://khelix.top/uploads/imagefilename.jpg[/img]

When to Use:

  • Posting images in forum threads

  • Adding images to your forum signature

  • Embedding images in online communities that only allow BBCode

Why It’s Useful:

  • Simplifies formatting on BBCode-only platforms

  • Maintains native forum compatibility

  • Easy to paste and use without HTML knowledge

3. 💻 HTML Code

HTML links are essential when embedding images into websites, blogs, and newsletters.

Format:

<img src="https://khelix.top/uploads/imagefilename.jpg" alt="Description">

When to Use:

  • Adding images to WordPress, Blogger, or custom websites

  • Inserting images into emails or newsletters

  • Embedding images in online marketplaces or custom product listings

Why It’s Useful:

  • Full control over presentation (alt text, dimensions, etc.)

  • Works seamlessly in web environments

  • Ideal for web developers and bloggers

🧠 Pro Tips for Efficient Link Usage

  • Always copy the correct format for your target platform. For example, forums usually reject HTML and prefer BBCode.

  • Add descriptive alt text in your HTML for better SEO and accessibility.

  • Shorten the direct link with a URL shortener if sharing on platforms with character limits.

  • Preview before publishing to ensure the image renders correctly in your post or page.

🔐 Do These Links Respect Privacy Settings?

Yes! If your image is password-protected or set as private, even the generated links won’t display the image unless the viewer has the correct password or access.

This means you can confidently share sensitive or restricted content using the same link formats, knowing Khelix respects your privacy settings.

🧾 Guest vs Registered Users: Link Access

While both guests and registered users receive all three link types after uploading an image, registered users have added benefits:

  • Permanent links (no image expiry)

  • Link management via dashboard

  • Link replacement or deletion anytime

Guests, on the other hand, can still access and use these links, but their images expire after 7 days and can’t be managed later.

Final Thoughts

The ability to choose between direct links, BBCode, and HTML makes Khelix incredibly versatile. Whether you’re a casual user sharing memes, a forum regular posting tutorials, or a blogger embedding product photos, there’s a format that fits your needs.

Understanding these link options not only helps you share smarter—it ensures your content is always compatible, professional, and easy to access. Take a moment to explore all the formats Khelix offers, and choose the one that works best for your next post, listing, or page.
