Guides to downloading files from the web
Practical how-tos for saving images, documents and other files from web pages: in bulk, as a ZIP, into tidy folders, and with full control over every download. Each guide also shows how to do it without an extension, where that's possible.
- Download all images from a website at onceSave every photo on a page in one go, skip the icons and keep only the sizes you want.
- Download all PDFs and files linked on a pageGrab every PDF, spreadsheet, slide deck or archive a page links to, without clicking each link.
- Download multiple images as one ZIP filePack the images you pick into a single ZIP instead of dozens of separate downloads.
- Pause, resume and retry downloads in ChromeStop a big download for now, pick it up later, and restart the ones that failed.
- Save downloads into folders by site and dateKeep your Downloads folder tidy with a subfolder for every website and every day.
- Download background and lazy-loaded imagesFind the images that "Save image as" misses: CSS backgrounds and pictures that load as you scroll.
- Why you can't download YouTube videosStore rules forbid YouTube downloaders, and protected videos are off limits. Here is what does work.
- What a download manager extension doesWhat you get on top of the browser's own downloads, and when you actually need one.
