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.
