## Description

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](https://github.com/eight04/image-picka).
