    Hey, it's a "franchise," and a "crossover" into real life, right? This position seems a bit below Rarity's dignity, but it's not the Worst Possible Thing, speaking from experience. She could be in back doing dishes.

    Tutorial For Submitting to Our Compiler - Computer

    First off, our events where pictures are involved require the use of our compiler which can accept links from deviantArt, tumblr, FurAffinity, or any other hosting site as long as you can grab the image URL.

    A tutorial for grabbing the URL of an image can be found below.

    If you can't use our compiler for whatever reason, either you can't use an online hosting site or our compiler is blocked in your country, please send your submissions to [email protected] for inclusion into the gallery.

    A tutorial for grabbing the DIRECT URL of an image can be found below:

    (Note: Imgur is recommended if you are new to this, but plenty of others allow you to grab direct URL)

    In Firefox select "Copy Image Location" after uploading your image then right clicking on it:



    In Chrome select "Copy Image Address" after uploading the image then right clicking on it:


    This will give you a direct URL. It must end in ".png" or ".jpg".  Example for what it will look like:


    Paste your URL Here:


    Mobile Users - 

    For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:

    Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, or wherever try this: Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below:
    Chrome: Copy link address
    Safari: Copy

    If that doesn't work, you can Touch and Hold an image, open it in a new tab and the URL of that tab should be what you're looking for.

    Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!
