Direct Download Link Generator

Turn a sharing link into one that downloads the file straight away, instead of opening a preview page.

    The links are rewritten here, from their text: nothing is opened or checked online. The file must be shared so that anyone with the link can see it.

    • No server-imposed size limits
    • No sign-up, no watermark
    • Free

    How to make a direct download link

    Frequently asked questions

    Why doesn't my link download?

    The file must be shared with "Anyone with the link". Large Google Drive files first show a page saying they can't be scanned for viruses, with a "Download anyway" button.

    Are the links checked online?

    No. They are rewritten from their text on this page; nothing is opened or sent.
