How to download all images from a website

Right-clicking "Save image as…" works for one picture. For a product page, a gallery or an article with 80 photos you want everything at once — at full size, not thumbnails. Here are three methods, from zero-install to one click.

Method 1: Chrome or Edge DevTools (no install)

  1. Open the page and scroll all the way down so lazy-loaded images actually load.
  2. Press F12 (or Ctrl+Shift+I, Cmd+Opt+I on Mac) and open the Network tab.
  3. Click the Img filter, then reload the page and scroll again.
  4. Right-click the request list → Copy → Copy all URLs. Paste into a text file.
  5. Download the list with a download manager, or with wget -i urls.txt.

Limits: you get whatever size the page displayed (often thumbnails), CSS background images are mixed with icons, and WebP files stay WebP.

Method 2: Command line (whole sites)

To mirror every image on a site you own or have permission to copy:

wget -r -l 2 -nd -H -A jpg,jpeg,png,webp,gif -e robots=on https://example.com/

This follows links two levels deep and keeps only image files. It does not run JavaScript, so images inserted by scripts or loaded on scroll are missed.

Method 3: A browser extension (fastest for pages you're viewing)

An image-downloader extension reads the page you have open — including what JavaScript loaded — and saves everything in one go. When choosing one, check that it:

I built PixLasso to tick all of these: open the page, click the icon, untick what you don't need, and download a ZIP. Click Deep scan first on long pages. It's free for up to 30 images per download; scanning all open tabs is included. Pro (one payment) removes the limit and adds batch JPG/PNG conversion and custom file names.

Why am I getting thumbnails?

Many sites show a small copy and load the big one only when you click. Look for an extension option like "full-size originals", or open one image in a new tab and check whether the URL contains size hints such as -300x200, _600x, /236x/ or ?w=400 — removing them often gives the original.

Is it legal?

Downloading images you can already see is technically trivial, but copyright still applies. Use downloaded images only where you have the right to — your own content, licensed stock, public-domain works, or fair use where applicable.
