Not every image has that exact url form. But this trick still works! And it kicks the ass off having to go do it elsewhere before posting. I dropped an image in the text editor and it came up as "https://steemitimages.com/..." followed by a lot of other random crap and then the name of the file somewhere in there.
I simply added this before it "https://img1.steemit.com/300x800/" so that I now had "https://img1.steemit.com/300x800/https://steemitimages.com/..." and it worked!
Thanks for the awesome trick!
Enjoy.
just tried it - awesome. Saved so much download/resize/upload crap
That's exactly what I had been looking for for a while, thanks !
It didn't work when I tried. Had a "https://steemitimages.com..." picture file, but when adding the "img1", it didn't work. Anyone knows why?thanks
How to get the prefix? Does it apply for photos from other website?
