I have put up a couple of torrents and can't figure out how to add a pic to torrent.
If any one can help me plz..

Go to a site like  www.goodreads.com/ that has a picture of the cover, Hover the cursor over the image and click "enlarge cover." On the image that pops up, right click and then click "Copy image address," or whatever the equivalent is on your browser. Paste this into the relevant section of the upload page.

Good luck.

Though you have been answered by Nox but I'd give you another approach to do the same. I generally get covers from Amazon's links, coz, they are updated & looks great. I use chrome and uses an extension named Hover Zoom, After installing this app just hover you mouse to the image and you'll get better and bigger cover.

Just try it on my recommendation.

I use Goodreads mostly but here is additional help/info:

Many sites have some sort of HTMLcode over the center of the picture these days so right-click near the top or bottom of the picture then select the "copy image location" option. Paste that in the "Image location box" when submitting your torrent.

Amazon sometimes has very long picture locations (hundreds of characters) which won't post on the ABB. You have three options:

a. Right-click the image and select "View Image Only," Then Right-click and "Copy Image Location." (Sometimes this gives you a shorter location but not always).

b. Get your picture from Goodreads.com. Goodreads.com is where I get most of my pictures. Barns and Noble works too.

c. Save the image to your PC (right-click and "Save-As"). Rename the picture then upload it to Imgur.com or your favorite photo site. Imgur.com is free, easy, it works, and has no limits as of 1-2015. (Hint: use "direct link" when copy/posting location)

Also, you can't link to GraphicAudio site images so do item "c." above.

Some other sites will change their picture into an Ad after so many "hits" so be careful using them.

Here's a question do you think it's safe using Audible's images?

By that I mean Is it likely to draw the wrong attention from audible, although you could say the same for Amazon considering they oqn Audible now.

IDK it was just something I was always a little wary about.

Thoughts?

Here's a question do you think it's safe using Audible's images?

I think it's a bad idea in general to hot link an image to a publisher's server, which is what copying the URL does.
Their webserver can track any webpage that uses it.
And some, like Graphic Audio, will then give you a different image entirely.

I don't post much here, but I just copy the image to a free image host and use their link.
There are many of these,  e.g.:

Code:

http://ultraimg.com/
http://lookpic.com/
http://imgur.com/

Some you can paste in the Amazon or whatever URL and it will fetch and mirror it.
Or just copy to your desktop temporarily and upload to the imagehost.

Is it a bit late for you worry about stuff like that, seeing as they have perfect (avatar) picture of you to help them track you down?   

Hmmm...  was that a bit cheeky for my first forum post?

I originally wanted to add to this topic https://audiobookbay.lu/forum/faqs/torrents-how-to-add-graph-audio-covers-to-your-torrent/ (which is probably a known fact, and I simply overlooked)

At Graphic Audio Site, Right-click image, "Save Image As", save to computer.

If you'd remove the image suffix (not the extension) before saving, you'll get the full resolution image from each amazon (audible/goodreads) domain:

Code:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511OrgyX6PL._SL300_.jpg
