How to Add An External Image to A Github post

Question

I want to add an image which is hosted on an external source to Github, but I see only link when I confirm it to be posted.

![Image](https://ibb.co/kOnOrb)

I use this format but it does not work. I click on the link that is created and I see the message Non-Image content-type returned.

can you tell, how you are trying to upload the image and where it on github? — Amit, Jan 05 '18 at 08:47

The problem was, the link you provided wasn't the image itself. It was the link to a website that contained the image.
By clicking on the image and copying the adress of the image you get the url of the actual image.

This should work for you:
