Use this interactive demo to learn how to attach an image to a Jira issue comment.

Quick summary

Adding an image to a Jira comment lets teams share visual context directly on an issue, improving collaboration without leaving the platform. Use the comment toolbar's image icon to upload and attach visuals, then save the comment to make it visible to all stakeholders.

Steps

Open the Jira issue you want to add an image to by clicking on it from the board.
Click the image icon in the comment toolbar to initiate the image upload.
Select the comment field to activate it and access the full toolbar settings.
After adding your image, click 'Save' to post the image comment to the issue.
Your image comment has been successfully added to the Jira issue.

📌 Why this matters

Adding images to Jira comments gives development and project teams a fast way to share screenshots, diagrams, and visual bug reports directly within an issue — eliminating the need for external file-sharing tools. Visual comments reduce miscommunication by letting teammates see exactly what is being discussed, speeding up issue resolution. This feature is especially valuable for QA engineers, designers, and product managers who rely on visual evidence to document bugs or review work. Keeping all supporting visuals inside Jira ensures that issue history remains complete, searchable, and accessible to every team member.
