User reviews

Dezoomify is praised for its ability to extract full-resolution images from difficult sources, saving users from manual and tedious efforts. It is highly valued by educators, archivists, and professionals dealing with protected or obscured images. Users find it practical, efficient, and reliable.

As I desperately needed this photo to extract the Intel 1103 DRAM die photo at a high resolution so I can teach my students, this extension was a godsend when a website is silly enough to not provide a direct download link.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dezoomify requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Dezoomify has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
