Image Picka

An image downloader built with webextensions

Image Picka is a versatile Chrome extension designed for seamless image downloading. Built with modern webextensions technology, it allows users to quickly download images via drag-and-drop or keyboard shortcuts. Users can batch download images from the current tab or multiple tabs with advanced filtering options based on minimum width, height, file size, or URL patterns.

Additional features include customizable filenames with invalid character handling, copying image URLs, and transforming URLs through find-and-replace functions. Although a known bug currently affects downloading images from cache, ongoing development addresses this issue. For more details and updates, users can visit the GitHub repository.

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.

Image Picka requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
