How to Find the URL of an Image in WordPress

Get the direct web address of a Media Library file.

Quick Answer

Open the media item and copy its File URL.

Step by Step

Sign in to WordPress admin.
Open Media → Library.
Select the image or file.
Find File URL or Copy URL to clipboard.
Copy and test the URL.

If That Doesn't Work

A CDN or optimization plugin may serve visitors a different URL while WordPress still stores the original attachment URL.
Changing domains may require updating old media URLs.
