Alt-Click Image Downloader: One-Click Save, Convert & Batch Download

About

Save images instantly with Alt+Left-click. No context menus, no clutter—just a fast, low-overhead, optimized helper that does one job really well.

What it does:

-One-gesture save: Hold Alt and click any image to download.
-Under-the-hood support: Handles direct, data:, and blob: image URLs.
-Original URL extraction: Tries to unwrap common CDN/proxy wrappers to avoid low-res thumbnails (when the page exposes the source).
-Respects Chrome settings: Uses your default download location and file prompts.

Why users choose it:

-Fast & lightweight: Minimal code path, low CPU/memory overhead.
-Privacy by design: No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking pixels, no logs.
-No dark patterns: No nags, ads, popups, or “rate me” loops.
-Predictable behavior: Doesn’t hijack right-click or inject heavy UI.

Permissions & privacy:

Only the permissions needed to detect images and trigger a download.
No remote calls, no user data collection, and nothing leaves your browser.

Notes & limitations:

-Can’t bypass paywalls/DRM/login walls.
-If a site only exposes a small thumbnail (no link to the original), you’ll get the visible size.
-Some single-page apps regenerate blob: URLs; reloading the view may be required.

Quick Q&A:

Q: Will it rename or batch images?
A: It focuses on a single, reliable Alt-click save. (No batch/rename—by design.)

Q: Does it work on social feeds and galleries?
A: Yes—where images are present as direct/data/blob URLs and the original is exposed.

Q: Any analytics or hidden network calls?
A: None. No metrics, no third-party scripts, no logging.

Troubleshooting:

-If nothing happens, ensure the image isn’t a CSS background; try opening it in a new tab and Alt-click again.
-Some extensions that modify clicks can interfere—temporarily disable conflicting add-ons to test.
