Nab

Click and drag any image. It's in your Downloads folder. Built for social media managers by a Head of Social Media. (and anyone else who saves forty images before lunch.) Right now this is you: Right-click, wait for the menu, find "Save image as," confirm the dialog — that's four steps and a few seconds, every single time. Do it forty times a day and it adds up to real minutes you'd rather spend on the work itself. Nab does this in ONE MOTION. HOW IT WORKS Click and hold any image. A blue outline appears. Drag, and the outline glows as you go, then turns green. Release and it downloads. Changed your mind? Press Escape, or let go before the outline turns green. BUILT FOR VOLUME • Works on images from any source, including the CDN-hosted ones most sites use • Filenames come out clean — photo.jpg, not photo.jpg?w=800&q=75&fit=crop • Tells you when a download fails, and why, instead of failing quietly • Stays out of the way: a normal click on a linked image still follows the link • No setup, no options page, no account WHAT IT DOESN'T DO Background images set through CSS, inline SVG, canvas elements, won't work. Video, too. PRIVACY Nab collects nothing. No analytics, no telemetry, no server, no storage permission. It watches for a drag on an image and hands that image's URL to Chrome's download manager. Nothing else leaves your browser. Open source, MIT licensed: https://github.com/theinstantwin/nab WHAT'S NEW IN 2.1.0 • Cross-origin images now download properly instead of opening in a tab • Notifications report the real result rather than assuming success • Clicks on linked images work again — Nab no longer intercepts them • Filenames strip query strings; SVG and JPEG extensions come out right • Downloads fire immediately, with a 300ms delay removed
