![Alt text]("enter image url of repositoryhere")
To me the best way is -
Hope this will help .
JUNE 3, 2020 : WORKING ANSWER-
add this to README
<div align="center">
<img src="/screenshots/screen1.jpg" width="400px"</img>
</div>
Much simpler than adding URL Just upload an image to the same repository, like:
![Screenshot](screenshot.png)
Markdown: ![Screenshot](http://url/to/img.png)
Then copy image source
Now add ![Screenshot](http://url/to/img.png)
to your README.md file
Done!
Alternatively you can use some image hosting site like imgur
and get it's url and add it in your README.md file or you can use some static file hosting too.
Add ![ScreenShot](screenshot.png)
in the readme markdown as mentioned by many above. Replace screenshot.png with the name of the image you uploaded in your repository.
But here is a newbie tip when you upload the image (as I made this mistake myself):
ensure that your image name does not contain spaces. My original image was saved as "Screenshot day month year id.png". If you don't change the name to something like contentofimage.png, it won't appear as an image in your readme file.
One line below should be what you looking for
if your file is in repository
![ScreenShot](https://raw.github.com/{username}/{repository}/{branch}/{path})
if your file is in other external url
![ScreenShot](https://{url})
I googled a few similar questions and did not see any answers with my problem and its quite simple/easy solution.
Here goes: like the OP, I wanted an image in my Github README, and, knowing the Markdown syntax for doing so, typed it in:
![My Image](https://storage.cloud.google.com/${MY_BUCKET}/${MY_IMAGE}
You need to complete the actual substitutions above (e.g. MY_IMAGE=image.jpg) for this to work.
But, wait...failure--there's no actual rendered photo! And the link is exactly as given by Google Storage!

- Anonymous ImagesGithub hosts your images anonymously, yay! However, this presents an issue for Google storage assets. You need to get the generated url from your Google Cloud Console.
I'm sure there's a smoother way, however, simply visit your given URL endpoint and copy the long URL. Details:
https
not gs
) into a new browser tab/windowHopefully this helps speed up and clarify this issue for anyone else.
The markdown syntax for displaying images is indeed:
![image](https://{url})
BUT: How to provide the url
?
So... you can use this awesome trick to make github host your image file. TDLR:

Method 1->Markdown way
![Alt Text](https://raw.github.com/{USERNAME}/{REPOSITORY}/{BRANCH}/{PATH})
Method 2->HTML way
<img src="https://link(format same as above)" width="100" height="100"/>
or
<img src="https://link" style=" width:100px ; height:100px " />
Note-> If you don't want to style your image i.e resize remove the style part
I found that the path to the image in my repo did not suffice, I had to link to the image on the raw.github.com
subdomain.
URL format https://raw.github.com/{USERNAME}/{REPOSITORY}/{BRANCH}/{PATH}
Markdown example ![Settings Window](https://raw.github.com/ryanmaxwell/iArrived/master/Screenshots/Settings.png)
Even though there is already an accepted answer I would like to add another way to upload images to readme on GitHub.
More details you can find here
With the images located in /screen-shots
directory. The outer <div>
allows the images to be positioned. Padding is achieved using <img width="desired-padding" height="0">
.
<div align="center">
<img width="45%" src="screen-shots/about.PNG" alt="About screen" title="About screen"</img>
<img height="0" width="8px">
<img width="45%" src="screen-shots/list.PNG" alt="List screen" title="List screen"></img>
</div>
First, create a directory(folder) in the root of your local repo that will contain the screenshots
you want added. Let’s call the name of this directory screenshots
. Place the images (JPEG, PNG, GIF,` etc) you want to add into this directory.
Android Studio Workspace Screenshot
Secondly, you need to add a link to each image into your README. So, if I have images named 1_ArtistsActivity.png
and 2_AlbumsActivity.png
in my screenshots directory, I will add their links like so:
<img src="screenshots/1_ArtistsActivity.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src=“screenshots/2_AlbumsActivity.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/>
If you want each screenshot on a separate line, write their links on separate lines. However, it’s better if you write all the links in one line, separated by space only. It might actually not look too good but by doing so GitHub automatically arranges them for you.
Finally, commit your changes and push it!
