If you want to upload images to codepen you’ll have to upgrade to pro.
Codepen does not let you host your own images for free, so you have to upload them somewhere else and link to them. Many use Dropbox.
See this thread for more discussion:

upload it to google (photo or drive). click the photo than view image to other tab or copy image link location (right click mouse). copy the url to src img. it work but seems not right. may others have better solution than me. 
if you don’t want to upgrade to codepen pro( you shouldn’t, i would argue you should be using a local environment so you get experience working with a real life setup) you can put your assets, in this case, photos, in any cloud solution (dropbox, github, etc). The img scr attribute will be whatever the url of that photo is (right click + copy image address);
ok thanks everyone for your useful comments and help ,using google photos might work
happy face here

What I always use is a site like PostImage that never deletes your old images. If you want a site that lets you upload bigger images (up to 50MB), something like Mkerala might work, but Mkerala deletes images that have not been accessed in 1 month, so be careful if you use that one.
[EDIT]: Mkerala now deletes images after 120 days.
Hope this helps!
thanks there are several links once you upload the image which one should i use ? i appreciate your help
@Ulbio
Use the “direct link”. This is the direct link to the raw image file that you want.
it worked out , thanks a lot … : 
How come its not working for me 
Other people have already mentioned image hosting sites so my advice is applicable if you use GitHub (which you should as a web developer). If you have your project on GitHub as well as codepen you can just find the picture file on GitHub. Once you’ve found it, right-click and select “copy image address.” The copied address is what you put within the image href attribute.
I tried it man but the link expires after some days @XRinduDendam
Can you explain how this can be done using github thanks.
how do you put your project on github
PostImage works perfectliy with codepen, thx a lot
