if it doesn't have an extension, it's not a image, it's a website that displays a image. – user2267175 Dec 25 '16 at 16:24

Open it in firefox and do rightclick on it. If it shows a dropdown "Inspect Element" click on that and extract the src... – Jonas Wilms Dec 25 '16 at 16:41

Quick & dirty solution with php: use `file_get_contents` and `file_put_contents` – chtz Dec 25 '16 at 17:56

You can use file_get_contents($url) in order to retrieve the contents of any remote file if you have allow_url_fopen enabled in your PHP configuration.
Once you download the image into memory, then you can save it with
file_put_contents($img, $imgcontent)
Example might look like this:
$url = 'https://www.google.com/abc/files/AwAh20isBECxwscp4JiT';
$img = '/my/folder/flower.gif';
file_put_contents($img, file_get_contents($url));
If you don't allow remote URLs to be opened by fopen(), then you have the option of using the cURL functionality to grab files remotely.
$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/image.php');
$fp = fopen('/my/folder/flower.gif', 'wb');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
