  description

  HoldPick is a faster way to copy or download images from web pages.
  
  Hover over an image, press and hold, and a glowing selection ring appears. When the hold completes, choose Copy or Download. No right-click menus, no “Save image as…”, no drag-and-drop conflicts with the page.
  
  One gesture. One image. One action.
  
  ═══════════════════════════════════════
  
  ★ HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Hover over an image.
  2. Press and hold for 0.8 seconds.
  3. Release when the glowing selection ring completes.
  4. Click Copy to copy the image to your clipboard, or Download to save it.
  
  The long-press gesture is deliberate, so it does not interfere with normal clicks, scrolling, or page interactions.

  ★ WHY LONG-PRESS?
  
  Right-click menus are slow. Keyboard shortcuts are hidden. Drag-and-drop often conflicts with the page.
  
  Long-press is familiar from mobile devices — HoldPick brings that simple gesture to desktop web.

  HoldPick is the fastest way to grab an image from any web page. Just press and hold — a selection ring traces the image like a lightsaber, and an action menu appears with Copy and Download. Inspired by Apple's "Touch and Hold Subject," rebuilt for desktop web.
  
  No right-click menus, no "Save image as...", no drag-and-drop fights with the page. One gesture, one action.
  
  ═══════════════════════════════════════
  
  ★ HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Hover over any image.
  2. Press and hold for 0.8 seconds (adjustable).
  3. A glowing border traces the image — release when it completes.
  4. Click Copy to put the image on your clipboard, or Download to save it.
  
  The long-press gesture is deliberate — it never interferes with normal clicks, drags, or page interactions.

  ★ PERMISSIONS

  • storage: remembers your settings between sessions.
  
  ═══════════════════════════════════════
  
  ★ WHY LONG-PRESS?
  
  Because a right-click menu is slow, a keyboard shortcut is hidden, and a drag-and-drop fights with the page. Press-and-hold is muscle memory from your phone — we brought it to the desktop.
