Photos Direct Link: A Google Photos Link Generator
Extension stats
Ranking
Extension summary
*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.
