Can you embed images in a Reddit post?

I want to create a post like this one with the images embedded in the text bidy not simply links to imgur etc.

How do I post a picture on Reddit without Imgur?

Searched for a solution but couldn't find it, only out-of-date posts saying it wasn't possible, and mention of Reddit's own image hosting but without an explanation.

Is it a Premium feature only?

I primarily use the Reddit iOS app if that's a barrier at all.

TL;DR: We’re adding the ability to upload and embed images/gifs/videos into text posts. Let us know what you think.

Currently, it’s not easy to display an image in your post, even though that would be super useful in a lot of instances (think, the DIY conversion post in r/vandwellers). If you want to include an image in your text post, you first need to upload it elsewhere or to a private subbie, then copy the url into your post. This is not intuitive and confuses a lot of people.

In a couple of days, we will be turning on the ability for you to include images and gifs within your text posts. You can even add a description/caption to them. We will be following that up with adding the ability to embed videos.

A cool caption

Embedding images and gifs in text posts is new functionality for the Fancy Pants editor which is only available on the redesign. Users browsing Reddit on the redesign will see your images fully embedded throughout your text post. We will be adding support for inline media posts to our native apps in the coming months. The current site and other platforms will show inline links, similar to how users use image links within their text posts today. If someone used a caption under the image, the image will be linked from the caption text. If there’s no caption, then it will show the image link.

Here’s an example of how a post would show up on the current site:

What it looks like on the current site

We're excited to see how redditors apply this new functionality to all the creative content they're making every day—without having to deal with awkward tab-switching and a cumbersome posting flow.

What does this mean for subreddit settings?

Texts posts with media will abide by the current subreddit settings around media posts. If your community allows text and image posts then you’ll have this new functionality. If you allow text posts and images, but no videos, then users will only be able to embed images in their text posts. Vice versa if you allow videos, but no pics.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

EDIT (3/7): The ability to embed videos has been released 🎉

that's reddit's own image hosting at work (it's actually not a text post). clicking the link will take you to the comment section on any link post that has the i.redd.it or v.redd.it domain.

go to the submit link page of a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/trekbooks/submit

under url you'll be able to upload an image that will be hosted by reddit with the i.redd.it domain

depends on if you are using mobile or desktop.

in desktop their is a button for it, on mobile you have to do one or the other, or post a link to an image site.

The "add an image" button hasn't been working for me for a while now.
If I switch to a different account it works though.

This bug has been reported already, let's see if they fix it soon.

They’re called “text” posts for a reason. Just include a link to an image hosting site like Imgur.

Easiest is click image post. You’ll still be able to write text—title and comments
