- Has Imgur stopped giving direct links? 3 answers
It was possible to get the direct link some months ago but now, since Imgur was updated, I am unable to find the direct link. See:

Some imgur alternatives that support direct links: imgoat.com, kek.gg, tinyimg.io, catbox.moe, imgtc.com, magaimg.net. – Ohad Schneider Oct 27 '17 at 20:17

@OhadSchneider yeah though if you see my answer webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/84535/… you see I show a way to get the direct link – barlop Oct 27 '17 at 22:21

@barlop I am aware, but people are reporting it is not reliable: webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/95883/… – Ohad Schneider Oct 28 '17 at 1:53

@OhadSchneider method i mentioned alwasy wroks for me, sometimes one has to do it 3 times but doing right click and clicking image address up to 3 times (copy image link, paste to check it take it or try copying image link again etc),, takes less than a few seconds. – barlop Oct 28 '17 at 10:36

@barlop even so, I would not rely on it. imgur officially don't support it, and they could block it tomorrow. – Ohad Schneider Oct 28 '17 at 10:56

Imgur does not provide a direct link to images any more.
Still. You have a couple of alternatives:
Alternative 1
Right-click on the image and choose Open Image in New Tab
Once the image is opened, copy the image address
Alternative 2
Right-click on the image and choose Copy Image Address
Alternative 3
After you uploaded the image click on the little arrow on the top right corner of the image and go to Get share links
Once there get the BBCode link surrounded by the [img] tag.

This seems out of date. imgur have gone out of their way to stop you having a direct image link. They now turn images into videos and you have to embed JavaScript to post them. It really sucks. – Jez Dec 6 '16 at 10:04

1@Jez Funny you should say that. I just tried both of Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 and they work just fine. I really cannot see any issues there. Am I missing something? – marikamitsos Dec 16 '16 at 11:21

1Yes, you are missing something, marikamitsos. As Jez stated, imgur has gone out of its way to hide any way to direct link images. It used to be readily accessible. Option #1 posted above is no longer available. – Guest Feb 22 '17 at 21:47

1@jahroy Because "That link works, but it is NOT a direct link", you have to apply one of the alternative solutions as desribed on the answer, to get the direct link "to just the image, without any of the imgur nonsense". You really do NOT need the direct link feature. – marikamitsos May 21 '17 at 6:46
