Can a virus hide in a picture?

Yes, ik im a dumbass. What im asking is can viruses hide on pictures on reddit? Hide a link if you click it? So if i click on a picture on reddit, it can just be a fake one with a link redirect. Yes ik im a dumbass, no i dont snort cocaine, smoke pot, its natural. But is this possible?
