I have no clue how to post an image from my photo library onto a Reddit post and I'm using the website, not the app. Anyone know how?

Same here. I’m not a past picture poster to Reddit, and I can find no help in posting a photo.

The majority of people will use Imgur[1] to post images and will then create a link post that links to the URL of the picture you just uploaded to Imgur.

1: https://imgur.com/upload

Reddit also recently added native image uploading[2] so that you can upload images directly to Reddit.

For GIFs/MP4s people use Gfycat[3] and, like with Imgur, will make a link post to the URL of what they uploaded.

3: https://gfycat.com/upload

When making a link post to an image Reddit will automatically create a thumbnail and preview image (also known as expando) for you.
