direct-img Embed images anywhere with direct-img.link URLs, where https://direct-img.link/orange+cat returns an image directly. For finding or embedding images, photos, gifs or illustrations in chat, markdown, HTML, docs or web pages, and free.direct-img.link for public domain / CC0 images.

direct-img.link

https://direct-img.link/<query> returns an image found by searching for <query>. It works anywhere an image URL does.

URLs

  • Words are joined with +: https://direct-img.link/golden+retriever+puppy
  • Literal . and / are rejected; encode them as %2E and %2F. Other special characters are percent-encoded as usual. Max 200 characters; case and extra spaces are ignored.
  • ?i=N (1–20, default 1) returns the N-th working image for the query. Each i is a different image.
  • A URL keeps returning the same image for 90 days, then may return a different one.
  • With no result or an invalid parameter, a placeholder bad image is returned.
  • Any URL can be downloaded and viewed to see what it returns.

Free images

  • https://free.direct-img.link/<query> returns only images marked public domain or CC0, from Openverse, then Wikimedia Commons. No credit is needed. It has far fewer images than the main host.
  • ?src=openverse or ?src=wikimedia limits it to one source. src and i combine in any order.
  • License labels come from those sources and can occasionally be wrong.
  • Images from the main direct-img.link host belong to their owners and aren't licensed for publishing.
