GIF Downloader - Download GIFs from Any Website

GIF Downloader is a powerful, lightweight, and user-friendly Chrome extension designed to help you scan, preview, and download GIF images from any website in just a few clicks. Whether you are browsing blogs, social media, forum sites, or portfolio pages, GIF Downloader makes capturing your favorite animated images effortless. KEY FEATURES: 1. Automatic GIF Detection: As soon as you open the extension popup, it automatically scans the active webpage to find all active GIFs, including standard img tags, responsive srcsets, lazy-loaded data attributes, and CSS background images. 2. Infinite Scroll Scanning: Equipped with a smart MutationObserver, the extension keeps detecting new GIFs in real-time as you scroll down infinite-scroll pages. 3. Bulk & ZIP Downloading: Download individual GIFs or download all of them at once! To prevent Chrome from dropping parallel downloads, the extension bundles all your selected GIFs into a single, organized ZIP archive instantly. 4. Download from URL: Have a direct link to a GIF? Simply paste the URL into the "From URL" tab to download it directly without even loading the web page. 5. Local Favorites Library: Save your favorite GIFs locally within the extension to access, preview, or download them again anytime later. 6. Customizable Settings & Dark Mode: Change your preferred download folder name, toggle automated background scans, and switch between Light Mode, Dark Mode, or System Theme seamlessly. 7. Toolbar Badge Counter: See how many GIFs are available on the current page at a glance via the badge count on the extension icon. HOW TO USE: 1. Navigate to any webpage containing GIFs. 2. Click the GIF Downloader icon in your extension toolbar. 3. Browse the detected GIFs in the "Current" tab. 4. Click the download icon on any individual GIF, or select multiple GIFs and click "Download All" to save them as a ZIP file. 5. Use the "Favorites" tab (heart icon) to bookmark GIFs you love. PRIVACY & SAFETY: We value your privacy. GIF Downloader does not collect, track, or transmit any of your personal data, web history, or downloading activity. All operations, settings, and favorites are stored locally in your browser's local storage. NOTE ON DYNAMIC SITES: This extension detects standard .gif images. Some major platforms (like Twitter, Giphy, and Tenor) serve animations in video formats (MP4/WebM) for performance. This extension is optimized for actual GIF image formats.
