*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.

Reviews of photos direct link:
I love how it just saves the URL with just a click. Saves me a bunch of time in my workflow. Awesome app!
It works like a charm to me. Here is what I did. 1. Install the extension. 2. Enable the extension in the incognito mode as well. 3. Upload the picture to your Google Photo in the non-incognito mode. 4. In Google Photon, go to the folder to which your picture was uploaded. Choose Share | Get link. 5. Launch another Chrome browser in the incognito mode. Paste and run the link you just got. 6. Once you see the folder with pictures shown, click any pictures you like. 7. Click the new reloaded picture. 8. You should see the message "Image URL copied to the clipboard" shown on the bottom of the chrome window. That's it.
I did have to restart Chrome. (I rebooted actually.) It didn't work immediately after adding the extension, but it works now. Super helpful! Thanks.
