How to add the Upload to Imgur option to right-click menu in Chrome [Tip]

Imgur is a great site for hosting images. You can use it to quickly upload your JPEG and PNG images and even your animated GIFs. As a matter of fact, it hosts most of the images posted on Reddit. So whether you’re an avid Reddit user or you simply want a quick and easy way to “transload” your images to Imgur, then go ahead and read on.

How to add the Upload to Imgur option to right-click menu in Chrome

  • In your Chrome web browser, go to the Web Store then download and install the “imgur Uploader” extension.
  • Once the extension is installed on your browser, it will add a new option to your browser’s image context (right-click) menu. However, it won’t add any shortcut icon to your browser’s omnibox so if you want to update its options, you’ll have to go to your browser’s page for tools and extensions.
  • Moving on, you may open a new tab and search for any image that you want to host on Imgur.
  • Place your mouse cursor over that image and then right-click on it.
  • On the right-click menu, select “Rehost Image”.
