Photos Direct Link

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

Photos Direct Link: A Google Photos Link Generator

"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.

User reviews

I get the following message from Google that Album Archive is no longer supported: "Since July 19, 2023, Album Archive is no longer available." Will your extension be updated to use another album location? I'm trying to create my own map icons and need a link to the jpg files. It sounds like your extension would have been ideal.

It would have been cool if it worked.
