# Image to URL

> Turn a copied image into a shareable link, ready to paste into any LLM chat.

**Image to URL** (internally, *Uplink*) turns the image on your clipboard into
a shareable URL, ready to paste into any LLM chat that accepts image links.

## Open it

Press <kbd>⌃</kbd> <kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>U</kbd> from any app.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy an image">
    Copy an image — or set the image source to a screen region instead (see
    Options below).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Press the shortcut">
    Press <kbd>⌃</kbd> <kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>U</kbd>. The image is uploaded to the
    image service.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the link">
    The returned link is **copied to your clipboard** and shown in a toast.
    Paste it anywhere.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Options

Settings → Tools → Image to URL:

* **Image source** — *Get Image from Clipboard* (default) or *Get Image from
  Screenshot* (draw a region on screen when you press the shortcut).

## Notes

Links **expire automatically after 90 days**. The image only leaves your Mac
on the keypress — there's no background clipboard watching.
