I’d like to save a few clicks when I add a hosted, public image in a doc or entity. For example, we write a lot of schemas using PlantUML. I edit the schema online using [http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/SyfFKj2rKt3CoKnELR1Io4ZDoSa70000](http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/SyfFKj2rKt3CoKnELR1Io4ZDoSa70000) I get an image URL like [http://cdn-0.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80](http://cdn-0.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80) I’d like to simply paste this URL in the page and get the option to embed the image. Or to type some markdown like `![](http://cdn-0.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80)` At the moment I have to open the image in another tab, and copy/paste the image. Plus I lose the URL, so I have also to copy/paste the URL as an image caption. Note : not my need, but some would probably appreciate a similar feature with video URLs such as [Coder un bouton avec un effet "after" en HTML et CSS - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEa9sSGC8_I&ab_channel=Laminutedecode) That’s one the last things I miss after the migration from Notion. ---

Does the image not show up when you paste the url and press return? ---

It seems that you need to tell Fibery the file type for it to render the url as an image. If I paste the following: [http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80.png](http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80.png) and press return, it is automatically converted to an inline image. I don’t know how you get the url from plantuml, but perhaps there is a setting to append `.png` to the url. Otherwise, I guess you have to manually type it each time ---

That’s a good workaround, thanks ! ---

Hi there, I was reading this post and noted that you wrote: > It seems that you need to tell Fibery the file type for it to render the url as an image. > If I paste the following: > [http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80.png](http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/png/SoWkIImgAStDuNBAJrBGjLDmpCbCJbMmKiX8pSd9vt98pKi1IW80.png) > and press return, it is automatically converted to an inline image. I have tried what you are suggesting and the image does not unfurl, or offer to unfurl for me. I tried with and without markdown, and I included the file type. Also, I have tried pasting Youtube videos - actually your own fibery youtube videos that you show embedded in your user guide - and I can only get the link to show. Hoping you can offer some assistance. Amazing product! ---

If you paste a URL, it won’t work (but you can force it to): ![firefox_kY0Ej42hKN](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/f/ffb1a212374a2430b70ad6a6cc3a593dd106a09e.gif) ---

Hi, thanks for your reply. So I did a bunch of testing with it and got it working, although it was a bit tricky. For instance if I simply copy and paste the URL you sent me it doesn’t work, but if I right-click choose copy link and paste, it works! Can you tell me how to do Youtube videos (if that’s possible) I still can’t figure that out. ---

I got it working and youtube too. Thanks so much. I don’t know what in the world I was doing wrong with youtube. I really appreciate your help.
