How do I stop images from linking to media file?

Hey all. I’m having the most frustrating issue that I literally cannot find an answer for.

Every time we upload a new image to our site, it adds a link to the image in our media library by default. As in, a reader can click the photo and it will open the link to the photo (/wp-content/).

I can manually disable this by removing the link for a photo, but it’s extremely annoying having to do this on every single photo we upload to the blog.

Is there a setting somewhere that will set the default to “no link”? Or a snippet of code I can insert?

There’s gotta be a way. I’m pulling my hair out lmao. Thank you!
