Pixiv Direct Link

Posted under General

How do I find the direct link to an image on pixiv to add to the source of an image I want to upload? I know its somethign to do with the Fidn Artist thing, but how do I get the driect link to the image that is required rather than the link to the artists profile where the picture is displayed?

1. Click on the picture as it is displayed on the artist's page.

2. This should bring up another page with a slightly larger version of the picture. Click on the picture.

3. A new tab or window should open with the largest version of the image. Right-click on it and select 'View Image'. The URL at the top is the image's direct link. Does that answer your question?

Just to add example links.

Make sure the link say big not medium when uploading. Uploading mediums will just kill your ratio.

In the end if you did right+click + copy link location it would look like this:
