How to Copy a Direct Image Link from Any Website
To download an image using a link, you need the direct URL pointing to the image file rather than the HTML webpage URL. Here is how to locate it on common platforms:
- Desktop Chrome / Edge / Firefox: Right-click on the image and select 'Copy Image Address' or 'Copy Image Link'.
- Safari (macOS): Right-click on the image and choose 'Copy Image Address'.
- Mobile (iOS / Android): Long-press on the image in your browser and tap 'Copy Image' or 'Open Image in New Tab' to copy the URL bar.
- Social Media & CDNs: If an image is inside an embedded player, right-click and choose 'Inspect' or look for image sources ending in .jpg, .png, .webp, or .avif.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download an image using its URL?
Simply paste the direct URL of the image into the input field above and click 'Fetch Image'. Our tool will retrieve the image, show you a full preview with dimensions and file type, and let you download it in your chosen format (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF).
Can I convert the image from the link to another format?
Yes. Once the image is fetched, you can convert it to JPG, lossless PNG, WebP, or AVIF with a single click. You can also adjust the compression quality slider to reduce the file size.
Why does an image link sometimes fail to load?
If an image link fails to load, it usually means the link points to an HTML webpage instead of a direct image file, the image has expired or requires authentication/login, or the server blocked automated requests. In such cases, right-click the image, choose 'Save As' to download it to your device, and drop it into our 'Upload File' tab.
Can I resize the image before downloading it?
Yes. You can select standard resolution presets (1080p Full HD, 720p HD, 480p, 1:1 Square) or keep the original dimensions. The aspect ratio is automatically preserved.
Is this tool safe and private?
Yes, Targetroot processes your images client-side in your browser. We do not store, catalog, or share your images or URLs on any database. Your work remains 100% private.
