Reddit Download Button

The browser extension that I've always wanted for Reddit... download buttons for easily saving images within posts. It's exactly what a data hoarder needs! Does not require Reddit login.

Features

  • Adds buttons to Reddit posts and inside galleries for easy one-click downloads
  • Separate ZIP download button for downloading all images in a folder
  • Supports downloading single images, entire image galleries, and GIFs
  • Works on both the Reddit feed and individual post pages
  • Detects the highest resolution version of images for download

[!WARNING] 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.

Safari Doesn't work natively with Safari, but the Tampermonkey® extension (Safari v6-11) or the paid Mac App Store version (Safari v12+) could work. I have not tested either, though.

TODO

  • [ ] Figure out downloading m3u8 videos
  • [X] ZIP download option for multiple images
  • [ ] Add UI for extension settings
  • [ ] Include metadata in ZIP file for the downloaded images/post (title, author, comments, etc.)
  • [ ] Support downloading multiple inline images/videos from text posts

Changelog

1.3 - 2024-09-28

Added
  • Added ZIP download button for downloading all images in a post in cleaner way. (Unsure if this should be a separate button, default behaviour of the post download button, or if UI should be added to pick either option.)
  • Added lightbox download button to single image carousel. The 'zoomed' image looks the same as a gallery-carousel for multiple images, but it's slightly different, so the download button wasn't being added the same as lightbox. This button functions the same as the 'Download Image' button below posts for single images.
Changed
  • Consolidated post, lightbox and zip create button functions into one. Reduced lines.
  • Removed the sendNotification function. The downloads should be noticable enough.
Fixed
  • GIF posts were sometimes not recognized as single images and download button would not be created. Download button now uses text Download GIF for GIF posts.
