What is A Clickable Image?

A clickable image is basically a link that will allow anyone to be taken to a specific page of your choosing.

When you hover over an image, a little hand will appear indicating the image is clickable.

How to Make an Image Clickable

With just some basic knowledge of HTML coding, you can create your very first clickable image within minutes.

There are several ways to do this, however, this is the easiest copy and paste method.

Manually Writing the HTML Code

You will need two pieces of information in order to create your HTML code:

1. The landing page URL. The web address (URL) of the page/post/site you want the user to land when they click on the image.

2. File URL of image. This is the URL specifying where the image is located (or hosted) online.  There are several sites that you can host your images (free and paid sites), such as, Photobucket, Google photos,  Flickr, Dropbox and ImageShack to name a few.If using a WordPress blog, you can upload your images and obtain the file URL by opening the media file, locating photo and copying the file URL.

Here the basic HTML code you will use when making your image clickable:

<a href=”http://LandingPageURL.com“><img src=”http://FileURL” /></a>

With the 2 pieces of information, simply swap out the bolded URLs above with that information. Just paste the URLs between the quotation marks.

Be sure NOT to accidentally delete the quotation marks in the process, nor duplicate the http://. 

 To make the link open in a new window, you would simply add target=”_blank” to the first piece just before the first >. like so:

<a href=”http://LandingPageURL.com” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://FileURL” /></a>

Now you have a completed HTML code.  Copy the entire HTML (from the <a href… to the </a> and everything in between) and paste it wherever you want the clickable image to appear (such as your blog post or sidebar).
