User Reviews

Users praise the add-on for ease of use, right-click integration, and bulk image saving with minimal permissions. However, reliability is a recurring issue: it often fails to download on some sites and may require manual config (altClickSave) to function. It also cannot bypass site restrictions and can save files without correct extensions. Overall, it's handy for saving many images but has notable compatibility and consistency limitations.

Pros

Easy to use and works via a right-click option.
Very effective for saving lots of images quickly.
Minimal permissions required.

Cons

Does not work on many sites / downloads nothing.
Requires manual configuration (about:config) to enable, not intuitive.
Cannot bypass certain download restrictions (e.g., referrer-based checks).
Saves images without proper file extensions.

Doesn't work. "Cant read or change data on this site" for every site I've tried. I also have browser.altClickSave set to true. Still doesn't work.

Is Save Image to Downloads Safe?

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.

Save Image to Downloads requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
