Photos Direct Link

Allow you to copy a direct link, with extension, from Google Photos.

What is Photos Direct Link?

"Photos Direct Link" is a Chrome extension that permits its users to copy direct links, inclusive of image extensions like .jpg, from Google Album Archive or Google Photos. This tool is advantageous for those posting images on forums or blogs, where an image extension is necessary. It also enables configuring the selected image's size. One potential limitation is that the created URL from Google Photos may cease functioning after some time. However, to circumvent this issue, support for Google Album Archive has been added.

Summary

Analyze keywords

*Extension changed the name/icon to accomplish Google trademark rules.

Allows you to copy a direct link, with extension (.jpg), from Google Album Archive (https://get.google.com/albumarchive) and Google Photos (https://photos.google.com).

Google Album Archive and Google Photos doesn't allow you to get an image direct link (with image extension [like png or jpg]). This Chrome extension is very helpful to post images in forums or blogs, where the file extension is mandatory. Is possible to configure the desired image size too.

IMPORTANT: Apparently, the generated URL (from Google Photos) stops working after some time. In my tests, some URLs stopped working after one day and others still working. WORKAROUND: Added support to Google Album Archive (http://get.google.com/algumarchive).

Usage instructions: Open an image and just click (left click) over the image. A message is shown at the page bottom.

Simply does not work - provides no r. click option on images in https://photos.google.com on Chromium-based Vivaldi 6.1 which uses Chrome extensions. Sorry.
