Download Article
Do you want to link to a picture in code or do you want someone to be able to click a picture to see a website? With a single line of HTML code or some settings, you can add a clickable image nearly anywhere! Since an image is often larger than text, it offers a larger clickable area (increasing the chances that someone will follow your link!). This wikiHow article teaches you how to add a link to a picture with methods that you can use whether you're on a computer, phone, or tablet.
Things You Should Know
- To make a picture a clickable link, use the HTML code: <a href="https://www.wikihow.com"><img src="full-path-to-image.jpg"></a>.
- Web editors like WordPress and Wix as well as email programs and image platforms like Gmail and Canva have built-in functionality to add a link when you select your image.
- In Word, right-click the picture and select "Link." Finally, add the URL and click "Ok."
