    not sure what context you are running your code, but something like this should work

    var uHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
var imgUrl = uHelper.TypedMedia(udiResult);
            string urlStr = imgUrl.Url;

    where udiResult = your weird string :) umb://media/d18bad45aa50445645564545654

    Hi Wilmar

    Is the Media Picker configurated to allow single or multiple images? The default Media Picker datatype instance allow to select multiple items.

    You can create a new datatype instance e.g. "Image Picker" and configurate this to not allow selecting multiple items (and maybe not folders?).

    Then the following should work:

    var profileImage = member.Value<IPublishedContent>("profileImage");
var url = profileImage?.Url();

    Otherwise you might try this:

    var profileImage = member.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("profileImage")?.FirstOrDefault();
var url = profileImage?.Url();

    I know if this is overkill but the only way i manage to serve the image from an IMember was like this

     public string GetMemberImageUrl(IMember contentOwner,string alias ="photo")
    {
        try
        {
            var image = contentOwner.GetValue<string>(alias);
            if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(image) && Udi.TryParse(image, out var imageGuidUdi))
            {
                var imageNodeId = Services.EntityService.GetId(imageGuidUdi);

                if (imageNodeId.Success)
                {
                    var mediaItem = _mediaService.GetById(imageNodeId.Result);

                    return mediaItem.GetUrl("umbracoFile", _logger);
                }
            }
        }
        catch
        {

        }

        return RANDOM_USER_IMAGE;
    }

    Why do you need to use IMember? You can get the member as IPublishedContent.

    If you logic in places inside a controller and don't need to set properties on members, you can use MemberShipHelper otherwise MemberService where you are dealing with IMember.

    Could you share a bit more of the code and the context?

    Thanks you solve my problem, I'm new to Umbraco so it's difficult to understand their setup
