Transform images into powerful tracking gateways.
Unlock the Power of Image Links
What are Image Links?
Image links are a specialized redirection tool that disguises a destination URL behind a compelling visual card. Instead of sharing a raw, unattractive link, you share a custom image that, when clicked, instantly transports the user to your target website, video, or article.
Why are they Important?
Visuals drive engagement. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Discord rely heavily on Open Graph (OG) tags to generate previews. By controlling the image, title, and description, you can drastically increase your Click-Through Rate (CTR) compared to standard text links.
How to Use Image Links Effectively
- Upload High-Quality Visuals: Use our built-in cropper to ensure your images are perfectly optimized for social media (16:9 ratio).
- Write Compelling Descriptions: The text appearing below the image is your "hook". Make it action-oriented (e.g., "Watch Full Video", "Get 50% Off").
- Bypass Filter Bubbles: Social algorithms often suppress links to external sites. A rich media card behaves like a native photo upload, often garnering more reach.
