# Add Image From URL | Website Manual

**Add Image From URL**

WordPress can show an image from another website's address instead of uploading a copy.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

WordPress can show an image from another website's address instead of uploading a copy. It is quick, but the picture then depends on the other site. If that site moves or deletes the file, your page shows a broken image.

Using someone else's image also needs their permission. For anything important, get permission and upload your own copy.

### You needed to change one thing. Now you are learning the editor again.

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
