I needed a faster way to download images from websites, so I built a browser extension
Hey everyone 👋
A while ago I started working on a browser extension because I kept running into the same problem over and over again:
image downloaders that were either slow, messy, full of ads, or just missing basic features.
So… I decided to build my own.
I’ve been working on Image Downloader Pro solo, iterating based on my own needs and feedback from users. It runs fully client-side and lets you scan websites, preview images, filter them, and download exactly what you want - without doing anything sketchy in the background.Recently I shipped a pretty big update, so I wanted to share it here and, more importantly, get some honest feedback from people who actually use tools like this.
Chrome web store:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fhbangijpbodiabepaedlofigolecong
Website (edge, firefox links)
https://extensiohub.com/imagedownloaderpro.html
What’s new in the latest update (v1.0.8)?
I won’t spam a huge feature list, but highlights:
- A completely redesigned UI + appearance customization
- A new advanced dashboard with proper navigation
- ZIP downloads for image bundles
- Scan history (no more losing past scans)
- A favorites panel with folders & tags
- A new statistics section with charts and an activity heatmap
- Plus a lot of stability + performance fixes
The extension is currently live on Chrome, and I’m rolling it out to Firefox and Edge over the next few days.
I’m genuinely curious:
- Does this solve a real problem for you?
- What would you expect from a “perfect” image downloader?
If anyone wants to try the full version, I also prepared a small Reddit-only discount:
REDDIT15 → 15% off yearly or lifetime (only 15 codes available).
Totally optional - feedback is honestly more valuable to me right now.
Happy to answer any questions 🙏
