Photos Direct Link Extension

*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
