    I am working on creating an image which contains a url. I want to hyperlink that url if possible, however the trick is that I need the image to be a png or jpg in order for the site I want to put it on to be able to support it.

    I know this probably isn’t possible, however I thought it would be cool if the url were clickable.

    I do not currently have InDesign, but if it can do this, I plan to get it.

    So you want just the url in your image to be hyperlinked, but not the entire image?

    You can accomplish this in Photoshop using slices.

    I did not know that! Thank you!

    And the link will stay even if I save it as a jpg or png?

    When you slice it, it’s just what it sounds like. Your single jpeg will get sliced into several smaller jpegs, like pieces of a puzzle. Then when you Save For Web, you can assign a url to the slice that has the url. Also, when you’re in the Save For Web dialog, you want to generate the html that will position your slices on your page. (I’m on my phone and not looking at PS, so I’m going by memory, so you’ll have to poke around in the Save For Web dialog to see how to generate the code.) It’s pretty straightforward though.

    And yes, you can save as a png-24 in the Save For Web dialog.
