Force image link download I have an image path like http://example.com/sites/default/files/image.jpg.

I have a download link like:

&lt;a href="http://example.com/sites/default/files/image.jpg"&gt;Download&lt;/a>

So on clicking on the download it opens the image in the browser. Instead I want when I click on the Download link, it should download that image.

Is it possible?
You can use DownloadFile module. This module provides display formatter, for images, file etc, that uses downloadable links(of type: /download/file/fid/[fid]) and should be compatible with older browsers.

Note: 


If you are doing custom coding, you can use file id (fid) to create your download link.
You must upload the image, so that it can be assigned a file id.
