is there any free bulk image download tool?

I've been trying DownThemAll ! ImageGrabber... all the extensions are similar. They can download a lot of images at the same time

but they COULD NOT download images linked by thumbnail images in a website, they could only download thumbnail images (smaller dimension, poorer resolution usually)

Is there any bulk image download too that is free ? Please advise a name of the freeware

Bulk Image Downloader is good but it's not free

 

I use Internet Download Manager (it's not free though) and it has that option to download everything and it can download any streaming video

been using it for years and its worth every penny IMO

I advice you to try the demo

PS: and no, I don't work for them or get commission if that's what you're thinking

 

I've used "free download manager" before and it worked fine, although I was only bulk downloading archived pdf's. I'm not sure if its what you are looking for.

Without knowing what site - no one can test to see if their download software can bulk download to give recommendations.

 

If the thumbnails are linked to the images you need through HTML links (href=URL), you might have better luck with another batch download tool.

If the operation is achieved via javascript, general purpose download tools won't work.


If you know basic javascript programming, recognizing the URL pattern should be trivial.

 

I would like to find one that works with IMGUR as it`s hard to download hundreds of wallpapers some members post.

Code:

startPosition=1
postsToDown=10


linkLst=[]
linkLstRaw=document.getElementById("likes").getElementsByTagName("a")
for(i=0;i<linkLstRaw.length;i++) {
    if (linkLstRaw[i].href.startsWith("http://imgur.com/gallery/")) {
        linkLst.push(linkLstRaw[i])
    }
}

console.log(linkLst.length)

iframesLst=[]
for(i=startPosition-1;i<linkLst.length && i<startPosition+postsToDown-1;i++){
    ifrm = document.createElement('iframe');
    iframesLst.push(ifrm)
    ifrm.setAttribute('src', linkLst[i].href);
    document.body.appendChild(ifrm)
}

////// wait for frames to load

imgsArr=[]
postTitleArr=[]
for(i=0;i<iframesLst.length;i++) {
    innerDoc = iframesLst[i].contentDocument || iframesLst[i].contentWindow.document
    imgsArr.push(innerDoc.getElementsByClassName("post-images")[0].getElementsByTagName("img"))
    postTitleArr.push(innerDoc.title)
}

document.body.innerHTML=""
for(i=0;i<iframesLst.length;i++) {
    console.log(postTitleArr[i])
    console.log(imgsArr[i].length+" images")
    titleEle=document.createElement('div')
    titleEle.style.fontSize="1.5em"
    titleEle.style.color="#000"
    titleEle.style.background="#8f8"
    titleEle.innerHTML=postTitleArr[i]
    document.body.appendChild(titleEle)
    for(j=0;j<imgsArr[i].length;j++) {
        //console.log(imgsArr[i][j].src)
        img=document.createElement("img")
        img.src = imgsArr[i][j].src
    img.style.maxWidth="128px"
    img.style.maxHeight="128px"
        document.body.appendChild(img)
    }
}

Run the stuff until the "wait for frames to load" line. The console.log will tell you how many posts are detected. Wait for the newly created frames to come up. Then run the rest. Save the resulting web page.

"startPosition" is the first post to download (starting from the latest one), "postsToDown" is the number of posts to download at a time. Don't try to cover too many at once.

All images are in original resolution, just resized in this view:
