The Imgur plugin allows users to upload images to Imgur directly from Obsidian, helping to reduce the size of local vaults. It supports both anonymous and authenticated uploads, giving users the option to link images to their Imgur account or keep them private. Users can upload images by pasting from the clipboard or dragging files into their notes. The plugin supports animated GIFs during drag-and-drop uploads and makes it easier to share notes with images, as only a single file needs to be shared. By uploading images remotely, users avoid cluttering their vault with image files and can also reduce the size of cloud backups or git repositories. This is particularly useful for users who frequently add screenshots or images to their notes, such as students or researchers.

The Enhanced Image plugin enhances image management in Obsidian by providing advanced context menu options for both local and remote images. It simplifies image-related tasks like copying, renaming, deleting, and moving images directly from the context menu. Users can copy images as Markdown links, reveal image locations in the file tree, and access batch operations for bulk management. The plugin also includes features like image previews for specific formats like HEIF/HEIC. Its goal is to make handling images in Obsidian more intuitive, efficient, and powerful, especially when dealing with local and remote images within Markdown files.
