What is ThingLink?ThingLink offers a web platform and iOS mobile app for creating and sharing interactive images. This allows teachers or students to add content inside any image- including photos, videos and audio players, web links and more- that appear in the image when shared and viewed.

You can also install a simple piece of code to a blog or webpage in order to display the image.
