How do I create a direct download link from a Google Drive URL?

Paste your Google Drive file link, click Generate, and copy the direct link. You can also output Markdown or HTML.

Does this work with multiple Google Drive links?

Yes. Choose Multiple mode and paste many links separated by spaces, commas, or new lines. Each becomes a separate direct URL.

Which Google Drive link formats are supported?

Common formats such as /file/d/ID, open?id=ID, and uc?id=ID are supported.

Why use Google Drive direct download links?

Direct links skip the Drive preview, reduce clicks, and take users straight to the download. Great for public sharing, landing pages, and README/HTML embeds. Permissions still apply—set files to ‘Anyone with the link’ if needed.

Why direct links?

Direct download links skip the Google Drive preview page and take users straight to the file download. This reduces friction, improves user experience, and avoids extra UI that can confuse non-technical users. If you’re sharing files publicly or embedding downloads in docs/websites, direct links are faster and cleaner.

Fewer clicks: One tap opens the download dialog.
Consistent UX: No Drive toolbar, comments, or preview distractions.
Better conversions: Perfect for landing pages and newsletters where every click matters.
Flexible output: Copy as plain URLs, Markdown for READMEs, or HTML for websites.
Privacy-friendly: Conversion runs in your browser—no uploads or servers involved.

Note: The file’s Drive share permissions still apply. For public sharing, set the file to “Anyone with the link.” Otherwise recipients may see a permission request instead of a download.
