The browser extension that I've always wanted for Reddit... download buttons for easily saving images within posts. It's exactly what a data hoarder needs! Does not require Reddit login.
- Adds buttons to Reddit posts and inside galleries for easy one-click downloads
- Separate ZIP download button for downloading all images in a folder
- Supports downloading single images, entire image galleries, and GIFs
- Works on both the Reddit feed and individual post pages
- Detects the highest resolution version of images for download
Warning
Currently the extension doesn't work on videos due to some m3u8 shenanigins I couldn't get to work. Please feel free to help with an issue or pull request.

Not added to the Chrome Web store or Firefox Add-ons yet, but may be in the future.

1.3 - 2024-09-28
- Added ZIP download button for downloading all images in a post in cleaner way. (Unsure if this should be a separate button, default behaviour of the post download button, or if UI should be added to pick either option.)
- Added lightbox download button to single image carousel. The 'zoomed' image looks the same as a gallery-carousel for multiple images, but it's slightly different, so the download button wasn't being added the same as lightbox. This button functions the same as the 'Download Image' button below posts for single images.
- Consolidated post, lightbox and zip create button functions into one. Reduced lines.
- Removed the
sendNotificationfunction. The downloads should be noticable enough.
- GIF posts were sometimes not recognized as single images and download button would not be created. Download button now uses text
Download GIFfor GIF posts.
