ImageGrab – Click to Download

About

ImageGrab is the easiest way to download any image from any website — no more digging through DevTools or right-clicking endlessly.

Simply click the ImageGrab icon, then click any image on the page. A preview pops up instantly, and you can download it with one click.

── WHAT MAKES IMAGEGRAB DIFFERENT ──

Most image downloaders only work on simple <img> tags. ImageGrab goes deeper:

✓ <img> tags — including lazy-loaded and srcset images at full resolution
✓ CSS background images — images set via background-image in stylesheets
✓ Canvas elements — grab rendered graphics and game frames
✓ Shadow DOM — works on modern web components and custom elements
✓ Next.js & React apps — detects images inside framework wrappers
✓ YouTube thumbnails — automatically downloads at max resolution
✓ Lazy-loaded images — detects data-src, data-lazy-src and similar attributes

── HOW IT WORKS ──

1. Click the ImageGrab icon in your Chrome toolbar
2. Your cursor turns into a crosshair
3. Hover over any image — it highlights in real time
4. Click the image
5. A preview modal appears with the full image
6. Hit Download — done

Press ESC at any time to cancel.

ImageGrab will never ask for more permissions than it needs.
