Here’s a list of 5 image downloader extensions for Google Chrome which you can use to easily download images from websites. When you want to download a lot of images at once it’s a good idea to use a image downloader instead of downloading them one by one. There’s a lot of image downloaders available at the Chrome Web Store, so we decided to take it upon ourselves to test them out and see which ones are the best.
Here are our findings.

You will be offered with a list of all the detected images, with a list of their thumbnails to be more precise. Select the ones you want to download and click on the Download button to start the download.
