Add images with Markdown

Written by Benjamin Dell

You can display an image in a HeySummit field that explicitly supports Markdown. The image must already be available at a public, direct image URL.


Before you start

  • Use Markdown only when the field's help text says it is supported or the editor shows a Markdown option.

  • Use an https:// image URL that visitors can open without signing in.

  • Make sure you have permission to publish the image and add useful alternative text for accessibility.


Add an image

Use an exclamation mark, alternative text in square brackets, and the image URL in parentheses: ![Event workbook cover](https://example.com/workbook-cover.jpg). Replace the example URL with the direct URL of your own image.


Optional variations

  • Add a hover title: ![Event workbook cover](https://example.com/workbook-cover.jpg "Download the workbook")

  • Make the image clickable: [![Event workbook cover](https://example.com/workbook-cover.jpg)](https://example.com/workbook.pdf)


Check the image before publishing

  • Preview or save the content and confirm the image renders.

  • Check the page while signed out so you know the image is publicly accessible.

  • If the image is broken, verify that you used the direct image URL rather than a private share page.


To add a normal text link, see Add links with Markdown.
