## Description

imgding is a powerful Chrome extension designed to streamline the process of downloading images from multiple popular image hosts. When active on any webpage, it automatically searches the current tab for links to images hosted on supported platforms such as ibb.co, imagebam.com, imgbox.com, and many more. Users benefit from automatically downloading images into a dedicated sub-folder within their default download directory, simplifying organization.

With support for numerous image hosting sites including hotflick.net, pimpandhost.com, pixhost.to, and turboimagehost.com, imgding stands out as a versatile tool for users who frequently download large numbers of images. Note that users should set their default download folder properly to avoid repeated prompts when downloading multiple images, especially if Firefox's "Always ask where to save files" option is enabled. Overall, imgding saves time and effort by automating image downloads across various hosts efficiently.
