Auto‑Upload Images in Typora on Windows Using PicGo

PicGo Server Setup

PicGo version 2.2.0 or later is required. From this version PicGo includes a built‑in HTTP server (PicGo‑Server) that other applications can call to upload images.

Enable the server

Open PicGo → Settings → Server and toggle the Enable Server switch. The server listens on http://127.0.0.1:36677 by default; the port can be changed in the same panel.

Typora Configuration (Windows)

Typora version 0.9.84 or later is required.

Link PicGo executable

In Typora choose File → Preferences → Image . Set the Custom command (or Image upload command ) to the full path of the PicGo executable, for example: C:\Program Files\PicGo\PicGo.exe Leave the argument field empty; Typora will invoke the local PicGo‑Server automatically.

Verify the connection

Click the Test Upload button. If the server is running, Typora displays the URL returned by PicGo.

Using Typora with PicGo

Drag‑and‑drop : Drag an image file onto the editor; Typora calls PicGo‑Server and inserts the returned image URL.

Keyboard shortcut : Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the insert‑image dialog, select a file, and let PicGo upload it.

Copy‑paste : Copy an image (or take a screenshot with a tool such as Snipaste) and paste directly into Typora. If the image is not uploaded automatically, click the “Upload Image” button once.

All uploaded images are stored in PicGo’s gallery and can be accessed from the PicGo UI.
