Description

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

*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.

This extension is open source and can be found in https://github.com/ddo02/GooglePhotosDirectLink

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.
