The browser extension that I've always wanted for Reddit... a download button for grabbing all the images within a post. It's exactly what a data hoarder needs! Does not require Reddit login.
Note
Currently the extension doesn't work on videos due to some m3u8
shenanigins I couldn't get to work. Please feel free to help with an issue or pull request.
- Adds a download button next to the share button on Reddit posts
- Supports downloading single images, image galleries, and GIFs
- Works on both the Reddit feed and individual post pages
- Detects the highest resolution version of images for download
Note
The extension is primarily designed for Chromium-based browsers. Functionality in other browsers outside of these may be limited or require additional configuration.

Not added to the Chrome Web store or Firefox Add-ons yet, but may be in the future.
