The browser extension that I've always wanted for Reddit... download buttons for easily saving images within posts. It's exactly what a data hoarder needs! Does not require Reddit login.
- Adds buttons to Reddit posts and inside galleries for easy one-click downloads
- Separate ZIP download button for downloading all images in a folder
- Supports downloading single images, entire image galleries, and GIFs
- Works on both the Reddit feed and individual post pages
- Detects the highest resolution version of images for download
Warning
Currently the extension doesn't work on inline videos due to some m3u8 thing I couldn't get to work. Please feel free to help with an issue or pull request.

| Browser | Requires |
|---|---|
| Firefox | 127.0.2 |
| Safari | Doesn't work natively with Safari, but the Tampermonkey® extension (Safari v6-11) or the paid Mac App Store version (Safari v12+) could work. I have not tested either, though. |
Not added to the Chrome Web store or Firefox Add-ons yet, but may be in the future.
- Clone this repository or download the ZIP file and extract it
- Open your Chromium-based browser and navigate to the extensions page (e.g.,
chrome://extensions) - Enable "Developer mode" in the top right corner
- Click "Load unpacked" and select the directory containing the extension files
- The extension should now be installed and active
- Install Tampermonkey for your browser
- Click on this link to open the script in Tampermonkey: Reddit Download Buttons Script
- Click on the "Install" or "Update" button
- The script should now be active on Reddit
- Figure out downloading m3u8 videos
-
ZIP download option for multiple images - Add UI for extension settings
- Include metadata in ZIP file for the downloaded images/post (title, author, comments, etc.)
- Support downloading multiple inline images/videos from text posts
- Add download buttons to single images in comment sections and ones opened in new tabs.
- For some reason the gallery-carousel on Reddit is keeping all the images as visible ("visibility: visible") when clicking forward/back. This is causing all images up to the index you've clicked to be downloaded. Only other method I can see right now of knowing the index is the translate3d value of the gallery-carousel. It's going up/down based on the window width.
- The preview download button doesn't work I believe because of the CORS policy.
1.3.3 - 2024-12-12
- Fixed issue where single image downloads from inside gallery carousel would not work and user would get "Error: Could not find post content" or "No media found to download" alert. Caveat: Reddit seems to have a bug with the gallery carousel where it's keeping all the images as visible ("visibility: visible") when clicking forward/back. This is causing all images up to the index you've cliked to be downloaded.
