Media Grabber — by Panielix LLC

Media Grabber surfaces every downloadable image and video on the page you're looking at — sorted highest quality first, with file size probed in the background — so you can grab the version you actually want with one click. ──────────────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ──────────────────────────────────────── 1. Hover any image or video — a small ⬇ button appears at the top-right corner. 2. Click it — see every variant Media Grabber could find, ordered highest quality first, with dimensions, format, and file size. 3. Click a row — the file saves to your Downloads folder. Done. You can also right-click any image or video and pick "Download image" or "Download video" without opening the picker. ──────────────────────────────────────── WHAT IT FINDS ──────────────────────────────────────── • <img> elements — including srcset, currentSrc, and common lazy-load attributes. • <picture> elements with multiple <source> candidates. • <video> and nested <source> elements. • CSS background-image declarations on any element. • Elements inside open Shadow DOM roots. • Higher-resolution variants that aren't in the DOM, via built-in CDN upgraders for Unsplash, Cloudinary, Imgur, Wikipedia thumbnails, Twitter/X, Reddit, Discord, and Pinterest — plus a generic ?w= / ?width= upgrader. • blob: URL images on same-origin / CORS-allowed pages, recovered via a canvas re-render. ──────────────────────────────────────── THINGS YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE ──────────────────────────────────────── • FILENAME TEMPLATES. Use {filename}, {host}, {date}, {timestamp}, {alt}, and {title}. Put forward slashes in the template to organize into subfolders. Set per-domain overrides. • CUSTOM CDN TRANSFORMS. Add your own regex → replacement rules in Advanced settings to cover any CDN the built-ins don't. • THEMES. Dark, Light, Midnight, Sepia, or Auto (follows your OS's prefers-color-scheme). • QUICK DOWNLOAD. Skip Chrome's Save As dialog by default — files go straight to your Downloads folder. • HOVER OVERLAY. Toggle the ⬇ button off if you'd rather only use the toolbar popup and right-click menu. • RECENT DOWNLOADS PANEL. Last 10 extension-initiated downloads with Open, Show in folder, and Re-download buttons. ──────────────────────────────────────── PRIVACY (TL;DR — there is none to worry about) ──────────────────────────────────────── • NO TELEMETRY. NO ANALYTICS. NO REMOTE LOGGING. Media Grabber does not run a server; we receive no events of any kind from your browser. • NO USER ACCOUNTS. You don't sign in. We cannot identify you. • The only outbound network requests the extension makes are: – HEAD probes directly to the media URL to read file size and content type. These go with credentials: "omit", so your cookies are NOT sent to third-party CDNs. – The download itself, via Chrome's native chrome.downloads API, which fetches the file directly from the media URL. Neither of these passes through any Panielix server. • Settings live in chrome.storage.sync — your Chrome profile, not our servers. • Full notice: https://www.panielix.com/extensions/media-grabber/privacy ──────────────────────────────────────── WHAT IT IS NOT ──────────────────────────────────────── To set expectations honestly: • It is NOT a YouTube / Instagram / TikTok downloader. Streaming services that deliver video via HLS or DASH manifests are out of scope — Media Grabber scans what's in the DOM and applies generic CDN transforms; it does not reconstruct adaptive streams. • It does NOT bypass DRM, paywalls, or login walls. If a page has not rendered the media to you in the browser, Media Grabber cannot see it. • It does NOT scrape cross-origin iframes or closed Shadow DOM. • HEAD size probes are best-effort — some servers omit Content-Length, in which case the size column shows a dash. ──────────────────────────────────────── SUPPORTED BROWSERS ──────────────────────────────────────── Any Chromium-based browser supporting Manifest V3: A Firefox port is not currently planned. ──────────────────────────────────────── PERMISSIONS — WHY EACH ONE ──────────────────────────────────────── • activeTab — to read the DOM of the tab you are currently on so we can find images, videos, and CSS backgrounds. • downloads — to save the file you pick. Without this we cannot write to your Downloads folder. • storage — to persist your settings and the Recent downloads list. • contextMenus — to add the "Download image" / "Download video" entries to the right-click menu. • scripting — to inject the hover overlay and variant picker into pages on demand. • Host permission <all_urls> — to run on whatever site you are on. The extension only READS page content; it never modifies the page or its data. ──────────────────────────────────────── LEGAL & SUPPORT ──────────────────────────────────────── • Privacy notice: https://www.panielix.com/extensions/media-grabber/privacy • Terms of use: https://www.panielix.com/extensions/media-grabber/terms • Data deletion: https://www.panielix.com/extensions/media-grabber/data-deletion • Open-source notices: https://www.panielix.com/extensions/media-grabber/licenses • Support: contact@panielix.com Made by Panielix LLC · Wyoming, USA.
