## Review summary

Users praise Batch Image Downloader as a powerful, feature‑rich tool that catches images other tools miss and offers many configurable options. Repeated complaints: it can grab thumbnails instead of full‑size images, has a confusing UI, lacks easy download‑folder and filename persistence, and can be intrusive or resource‑heavy; bulk/tab scanning also sometimes misses or adds unexpected images.

### Pros

- Feature-rich and powerful — many users find it the best image downloader and rely on it long-term.
- Can catch images other downloaders miss (handles “null”/hard-to-detect images).
- Rich, configurable download controls (delay, thread number) and many options/status views.
- Works on a wide range of sites (several users report success on sites like Instagram).

### Cons

- Often grabs thumbnails or misses the full‑size/linked images (especially from search results).
- Confusing or non‑intuitive UI with a steep learning curve; some users can’t figure out how to start downloads.
- Cannot easily choose download folder or persist filename/naming patterns (defaults to system download location).
- Performance and intrusive UI elements/popups reported to slow the browser.
- Bulk/all‑tabs functions sometimes miss images or include extra images not visible on the page.
