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.
- Adds buttons to Reddit posts and inside galleries for easy one-click downloads
- 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 inline videos due to some m3u8 thing I couldn't get to work. Please feel free to help with an issue or pull request.

| Browser | Requires |
|---|---|
| Firefox | 127.0.2 |
| 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. |
Not added to the Chrome Web store or Firefox Add-ons yet, but may be in the future.
- Install Tampermonkey for your browser
- Click on this link to open the script in Tampermonkey: Reddit Download Buttons Script
- Click on the "Install" or "Update" button
- The script should now be active on Reddit
- Figure out downloading m3u8 videos
- 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
- Add download buttons to single images in comment sections.
[!NOTE]
- ZIP file creation not working when run from Tampermonkey. Issue #2
1.3.5 - 2025-04-22
- #7 Fixed images not being downloaded at highest resolution due to incorrectly identifying the zoomable element. Downloads overall seem to be faster now with these changes (fingers crossed).
- Preview download button and others downloading from
i.redd.iturls now usesGM_xmlhttpRequest(Tampermonkey only, unpacked extensions through chrome doesn't support or play nice with this) to bypass CORS. - #6 Fixed images not having their correct extension when multiple extensions are present in the post. Like a
.gifand a.png, default.pngwould be used for both. - Not sure how or why, but maybe file previews in macOS are back to normal since we're downloading form the
i.redd.iturls? Not even sure if this was script issue or a problem for other OS as well.
- Removed the installation instructions for manual "load unpacked" method. It doesn't play nice with the CORS policy of
i.redd.iturls or theGM_xmlhttpRequestfunction used by tampermonkey. It's just not the best way to use it. - #2 Removed the ZIP download functionality because it's broken right now and I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe will be added back if I add UI. Reduces tampermonkey script size by ~100kb, so that's a plus. Reference to #2.
