How to Upload Images and Get the URL

This guide explains how to upload images to Blogger and get the URL. Image URLs are needed for creating product posts in KuToko, VioToko, and LinkMagz templates.

Why Do You Need Image URLs?

Online store templates (KuToko, VioToko, LinkMagz) use a special format for product posts. This format requires image URLs, not direct uploads like regular posts.

Good News

You can use Blogger as a free image hosting! Uploaded images will be permanently stored on Google's servers.

Steps to Upload Images

Step 1: Create a New Post (As Upload Location)

1. Open blogger.com and login
2. Click New post or + New post

TIP

This post is only used to upload images. You can delete it later — the images will remain safely stored.

Step 2: Upload Image

1. In the post editor, click the Insert image icon (landscape picture icon)

   

2. Select Upload from computer

3. Click Choose file and select your product image

   

4. Wait for the upload process to complete

Step 3: Set Image Size

After the image appears in the editor:

1. Click on the uploaded image
2. Select Large or Original size

Important

Don't select Small or Medium size — product images will look blurry/pixelated.

Step 4: Copy Image URL

1. Right-click on the image
2. Select Copy image address

3. The image URL is now copied to your clipboard!

Step 5: Save the URL

Paste the URL to a safe place, for example:

• Notepad
• Google Keep
• Directly to the product code generator tool

Example Blogger image URL format:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/xxxxx/s1600/image-name.jpg

Additional Tips

Upload Multiple Images at Once

You can upload multiple images in one post:

1. Upload all product images to one post
2. Set all to Large size
3. Copy URLs one by one
