Image Max URL

Website (https://qsniyg.github.io/maxurl/), userscript (https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/36662-image-max-url) and reddit bot (/u/MaxImageBot) to redirect images to larger/original versions.

For users

Either use the website or install the userscript, which redirects to larger/original versions of images when you open them in a new tab.

For developers

The userscript also functions as a node module:

var maximage = require('./userscript.user.js');
var bigimage = maximage(smallimage);
if (bigimage !== smallimage) {
  // larger image is available
}
