- If you aren't signed into Imgur on your phone, first tap sign in and enter your email address and password.

Select a photo. Your camera roll photos are displayed on this page; tapping a photo will select it.
- If prompted, first allow Imgur access to your phone's camera and photos.
- You can tap multiple photos to select each of them.
Tap Next. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. On some versions of Android, you'll tap a checkmark here instead.
Enter your post's title. You'll do this in the "Post Title (required)" field near the top of the screen.
Edit your photo if need be. You can add a description or tags in the grey field at the bottom of the screen.
- You can also tap Add Images below your photo to select more photos to add to the post.
