How do I embed a single photo from my Google photo album to a website now that Picasa embed has been disabled?

Best Answer

It's not as straightforward as one would like, but you can do it this way:

  1. Find the photo in Google Photos you want to include
  2. Open the "Share" menu and click "Get link"
  3. Either click the link that is created or click "Copy" and paste that address into a new browser window
  4. That'll bring you to a new shared album with just that photo in it; you need to get the filename of the image
  5. Click the image so that it's zoomed in
  6. Right-click the image and choose "Copy image address" (or whatever your browser's equivalent is)

You now have the URL for the "public" image that you can use on your page. You'd probably use it in an image tag similar to:

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/NWfbsppj..." />

The URL for the image is incredibly long, but should work just fine, like this one I picked somewhat at random:
