Pixiv's image server, i.pximg.net, refuses to serve images to anything that isn't pixiv.net. Open an image link in a new tab, embed it on a forum or post it in a chat, and you get 403 Forbidden. Replace the domain with boetea.dev and the same link works everywhere.

Finding an image link
Open the artwork on pixiv, open the image you want, then right-click it and choose Copy image address. Links to artwork pages (pixiv.net/artworks/…) aren't images, so they can't be converted.
What works
- Original files (
/img-original/), resized images (/img-master/), thumbnails (/c/,/custom-thumb/), avatars (/user-profile/) and ugoira zips (/img-zip-ugoira/). - Every rating, including R-18 works.
- Images are cached, so links stay fast after the first load.
