About Image Saver
Image Saver turns any image on a page into a one-keystroke download.
Turn it on for the tab you're in, park your cursor over an image, and a small
preview card appears with the filename and a Download button. Click it, or just
press D. The file lands in your Downloads folder.
That's the whole extension. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking, and no access to
your browsing.
── HOW IT WORKS ──────────────────────────────
1. Click the Image Saver toolbar icon. A green "ON" badge appears and the page
confirms with a short toast.
2. Move the cursor over an image and stop moving. After a brief pause the
preview card appears.
3. Click Download, or press D.
4. Click the toolbar icon again to turn it off.
── FEATURES ──────────────────────────────────
• Rest-to-reveal, not hover-to-reveal
The card appears only once your pointer has actually come to a stop over an
image (about a fifth of a second at rest). Cards never flash at you while
you're just moving the mouse across a page.
• The card stays put
Once it appears, it stays anchored where it appeared instead of chasing your
cursor, so the Download button is always easy to hit.
• Move on, and it gets out of the way
Slide onto a different image and the old card disappears at once. Stop again
and a new card appears for the new image.
• Download with the D key
Whatever the card is showing, D saves it. The hotkey stays out of your way: it
is ignored while you're typing in a text box, and modified keystrokes are left
alone, so Ctrl+D / ⌘+D still bookmarks the page.
• Thumbnail preview before you commit
See the actual image the extension resolved, plus the filename it will use,
before you save anything.
• Finds images that are hard to right-click
Many sites bury images under transparent overlays, wrap them in link layers,
or paint them as CSS backgrounds — all of which break "Save image as…".
Image Saver searches upward from the element under your cursor through its
ancestors and picks up:
- <img> elements at any nesting depth
- responsive images (<picture> and srcset), using the variant the browser
actually chose for the current screen
- CSS background-image, including ::before and ::after backgrounds
- data: and blob: image URLs
It confirms the cursor is genuinely inside the image's rendered box before
offering it, so you get the image you're pointing at and not a stray banner
somewhere else on the page.
• Sensible picking
When an element holds several images, the largest one wins. 1×1 tracking
pixels and other invisible spacers are skipped. Page-wide <body> and <html>
backgrounds are ignored, since they'd otherwise match everywhere.
• Works on tabs that are already open
The extension injects itself into the page at the moment you click the
toolbar icon. Install it, or update it, and it works on the tabs you already
have open — no reloading, no restarting the browser.
• Off by default, and per-tab
Nothing runs anywhere until you switch it on, and switching it on affects only
that one tab. Other tabs are untouched. The "ON" badge tells you exactly where
it's live.
• Handles cross-origin images
Downloads are performed by the extension itself rather than the page, so
images served from a different domain than the site you're on save correctly.
If a site blocks the download, the card says so instead of failing silently.
• Clean filenames
The name is taken from the image URL and stripped of characters that don't
belong in a filename. Same-name downloads are numbered rather than
overwritten.
• Stays quiet
The card hides when you scroll, when you leave the page, and shortly after you
move away from an image.
