Imageye is one of the two largest image downloaders on the Chrome Web Store, with about 2 million users and a 4.8★ rating. It is a good tool, and its core downloading is free. People still look for alternatives, and the reasons in recent reviews repeat: file names with an imageye_ prefix, a folder created per image, thumbnails saved instead of the original, and images saved one file at a time.
PixLasso downloads every image on the page, or across all open tabs, into one ZIP.
