You can enable or disable direct linking for your whole account at the update account page.

You can enable or disable direct linking for a specific gallery in the advanced view of the edit gallery page.

If you disable direct linking, images that have already been linked to will still show up for a little while before they are updated. All other images are blocked from direct linking immediately.

Paying PBase customers can direct link to their own public images as long as they have direct linking enabled on the image's parent gallery. If you try to direct link to images that are non-public or password-protected, it will fail.


The steps below show how to disable direct linking at the account level. From your profile page, click the "edit your account settings" link. Scrolling down, you will see the "Account Settings" section. Here, you can disable direct linking to your images by unchecking the checkbox by "Allow direct linking from other sites, such as forums and blogs".

To get the direct linking URL for an image, view the image and add .jpg or size.jpg to the end of the URL. This works just like linking to an image page but append .jpg to the end of the URL. example: www.pbase.com/image/image number.jpg example: www.pbase.com/image/image number/size.jpg Note: to direct link to a .gif, use the .jpg extension also.

See direct linking.

With direct linking, you can link to your PBase photos from other places.

Direct linking is the use of a particular image or multimedia file on another website by linking directly to it on another web host's server.

An easy way to find the direct linking URL for your images is to go to the edit image page and see the 'direct linking URL' at the top right of the screen.
