Accessing Unsplash Photos When Writing a Draft on Medium
For all newcomers — did you know you can access Unsplash photos within your draft?
As an Editor for The Lark, Writers Daily, Flicks TV Hound, Lifestyle Today, Skinny is Best, and Hotspot Travellers, I see many newcomers using Unsplash photos without stating where they came from in the image caption. Many don’t know how to access Unsplash photos within their draft. So, I thought I would share it here for newcomers and anyone else who doesn’t know about this tool.
Unsplash photos are free to use and share. Medium allows you to access these photos within your draft. This is easy to do once you know how to do it and it will also place the owner’s name and link in the image caption for you.
Instructions on how to access Unsplash photos
Follow these instructions:
- Click on a space within your draft (see the below picture where I have clicked on a space).
- A plus sign will appear (see photo below).
3. Click on the plus sign.
4. A list of options will appear (see photo below).
5. You will need to click on the second option (shown above).
6. Once you click on it, a search bar will appear (shown in the photo below).
7. Search for what you are looking for in a photo ie. for instance search for Ireland (see below).
10. You will see that after typing in the search bar a list of photos will appear. Choose a photo.
11. You will see from the above photo that Unsplash photos have placed the name of the person who owns the photo with a link in the image caption.
12. If you want to choose your own photo, do the same but click on the first sign of options, not the second one that appears (as shown in the photo below).
13. A pop-up window will appear with a list of your photos from your computer for you to choose from.
I hope this helps everyone and all newcomers on Medium. Now everyone can access Unsplash photos without making a mistake when submitting their stories to publications.
