How to add pictures in the description (with pictures!)
Looks like some people are having problems adding pictures in the description of their plane. So here is a tutorial for Windows and Android.
Warning: I think it doesnt work under 200 points, but I'm not sure. Comment that you need some points and I will upvote your stuff untill you have 200 points (If you uploaded enough), then it should work
Windows
Step 1:
If you want a picture from google, just right-click and copy the picture adress, Then skip to Step 2.
If you want a own picture in your description, just make a picture of it and upload it somewhere. I prefer discord. If you uploaded your picture to discord, click on the picture and then click "show original".
Step 2:
Now your Internet Browser should open with that picture. Right click and choose "Copy picture Adress"
Step 3:
Now go to you simple planes post, press the arrow showing down and hit "Edit"
Step 4:
Now write in your post (where you want your picture) this:
![](paste_here_the_link_you_copied_without_spaces)
Important: Make all the brackets I made!
Now your picture should be in the description. If it isn't showing up, look that there are no spaces between all letters, copy the the picture adress and paste it into the (round) brackets again. Important: Make sure that you copied the picture adress, not something other!
Android
Step 1:
If you want a picture from google, just skip to step 2.
If you want a own picture, upload it somewhere. I use photos.google.com. If you have uploaded it should look like this:
Step 2:
Now just click long on the picture, until a (white) window comes. Now press "Open in new tab".
Step 3:
Now you have the picture in a new tab. If you uploaded your picture to photo.google.com, there should be a large URL in the white line. You need to copy the whole URL.
Step 4:
Now go to your simple planes post, press the arrow showing down, hit edit and write this without spaces, just like me in your description:
![](in_this_brackets_you_have_to_paste_the_URL_you_just_copied)
Paste the URL in the (round) brackets and then it should work! If it won't work, look that there are no spaces between all letters, look that you did all right and if you copied and pasted the right URL.
Important: It might not work under 200 points! So make sure to be over 200 points.
Have fun!

Edit: As you can see this post is 4 years old and i have no idea if it still works because i am very inactive on SimplePlanes right now
It work now, thanks dude :D
I have tried it and it seems like it requires 200 points
@SimonGlaser okay i will try to do it
@theNoobCountry2 well, i know you can upload a .gif the same way, but i think a .mp4 wont work
also i saw another post with a video. is it the same process as image?
figured it out actually.
@theNoobCountry2 it should theoretically work with any picture you can find online
does not work with third party images.
@Solent19 I have a NASA Supercomputer at home 💪🏻
Are you sure that you did all the pictures the exact same way? If you cant figure it out send me a link to that picture that doesnt work
i have 150 points and it let me upload one of the pictures that i had but not the other one...
BTW geez, that's a lot of tabs you have open at once
@Alex2300 You need to have a few points to upload pictures
@Alex2300 on pc
SimonGlaser help me what to do if it is not put picture?
@Tankbuster I dont have any IOS devices, so i dont know myself
What about with iOS? I am trying to add pictures and I can’t figure out how to.
@SimonGlaser ohh….
@Transair56 I dont know, I dont have any IOS devices
Now how do I do it on IOS?
I need some points plz man 🙏
@SimonGlaser Probably because i dont have 200 points yet
@SimonGlaser I dont know, all it does is to redirect to the image address or a new site, but doesnt seem to add the picture of it. The exclamation mark doesnt help at all
@AkifProDude2077 Hmm, You are sure that you put it the same way as me, right? Maybe look at other, newer tutorials from other users for your problem
@SimonGlaser Its "Inactive" for your information. But I still dont know how it works. The only thing it does is to redirect to another site
