The Patreon Downloader Chrome extension streamlines the process of downloading media and attachments from Patreon posts directly to your computer. It allows you to save all attachments quickly into a folder of your choice, making content collection more efficient.

While most videos are excluded, the extension excels at grabbing images and other attachments. When used on a Patreon Post page, it automatically generates a zip file named with the creator's username and post title for easy organization (e.g., johnsmith-these-are-some-of-my-favourite-things.zip). It downloads up to 3 files concurrently to speed up the process and continues downloading even if you close the extension window. Ideal for Patreon supporters who want offline access to their favorite creator's content.
