I'm looking for an automated tool, preferably online that I can paste a bunch on direct jpeg links into and it'll convert them into embedded html images.

So basically a normal link converted into this :
<img src="[your link to the image goes here]" />
Direct link https://s6.postimg.org/8nfgac4vl/Mountain_snowy_mist.jpg
After tool <img src="https://s6.postimg.org/8nfgac4vl/Mountain_snowy_mist.jpg" />
 
Do you have a bunch of links to images.

You want to paste those links.

Then the results should be all those links prefixed and post fixed with the html
 
Just use excel.
Column 1 is img SRC = (repeated)
Column 3 is end tag (repeated)
Column 2 is where you post the image links

Copy from excel and paste into text file. Will give you what you want

I was using Ms Word to remove unwanted tags from my previous image hosting provider, using the search and replace function but those were all in a bunch and the same for all the links.

How exactly would I do that with Excel, how do I paste the list of image links into Excel so that it outputs the desired format all in one go, not link by link

Yes but how!?

There must be an online tool that can automate this, paste, click, copy results done!
Something like the some awesome tools on this site:

I don't understand what you're saying.

Can you walk me through the process to use excel please, remembering I need to do say 20 pic links at a time not one by one?

Column 1 and 3 , each row is exactly the same except for row 1 where you have your html doc start tags
You paste your image URL into column 2

You might want to <br> at the end of column 3 and beginning of column 1

Then you copy the contents into a text file

Thanks, how do I paste 20 lines of links into excel and have each link parsed onto a separate line in the 2nd column?

Sorry I'm not so clued up in excel!

Just have each link on a new line.
Select first row in column 2 and paste the links in. They will each be in a different row
 
Excel? WORD, for godsakes?

I weep for any "developer" who can't convert a list of URL to <img> tag "src" attributes in less than 3 steps using a plain text editor: MS Notepad can do it.

Copy a line break.

Replace all line breaks with

" /> \n <img src="

Cleanup the broken first and last links. This is child's play, no need for Excel.

Ok smart ass, show me a online site that can do that automatically!

I'm not a dev, just a hack.

Can you post a sample of your image list?

Not in front of the desktop but it's just a stock standard direct jpg link "www.zzz/user/folder/imagename.jpg"

An example of a direct link is in the op, that snowy mountain pic.
"https://s6.postimg.org/8nfgac4vl/Mountain_snowy_mist.jpg"

The image list is one image per line.

Would you upload the links and send me a copy? I'll see if I can quickly do it for you in excel.

EDIT: Depends on the format you give it to me in of course.

Thanks for the offer but I need to do it regularly so I'd like to find a solution I can use as needed.
 
Send me the links I'll write you a php program tomorrow (not by a pc today)

Thanks guys, right click on virtually any jpeg you find on the Internet, select "copy link source" or similar and you will have a perfect example of a vanilla image link that will need the html tags I posted in the op.

No I want to send tou the 509 images you require first so you have that and then the program is there too for you to just drop the links in, unless you already converted the links out mentioned in the OP and just want the program for future reference.
