Have you ever wanted to download all images from your favorite website but couldn’t do it because of too much work involved in it? As a web developer even I often find it tiresome to grab icons or background images from the theme file. Using ‘Inspect element’ option from right click menu in Google Chrome and grabbing images from Resources tab is also a good option but often requires you to download images one by one. That’s too time consuming!!!
Of course,one of the very simple way to download images from a website would be clicking right mouse button and select ‘Save Image As’ option, but yet again this is not a practical or at least genius approach to the problem. Moreover, it is a time consuming errand. To give you respite, we’ve covered some useful tools to download multiple images from website more efficiently without wasting much time.

Following are some the tools that will let you download all images from a single page or website
Firefox users can take advantage of an already available add-on from the repository. It is just not a simple image downloader but a complete suite that will also let you download almost anything from the website. Whether you’re looking to download pile of images, music, videos or html file, DownloadThemAll! supports all of them.
Users will get an option in right-click context menu to Download all images, videos, music and html files. Even, users can select multiple items based on the file type. Such filters will remove the burden of grabbing useless files from the webpage. There’s an in-build advanced accelerator present which will increase the download speed up to 400%.
Features of DownloadThemAll!
DownloadThemAll! gives much more control over what you download. The preference options are pretty straight forward. Obviously, there are few more add-ons popped in the plugin store which works on the similar concept. To avoid including repetitive add-ons, we have covered only single add-on for each browsers—IE, Firefox and Google Chrome.
Pimpfish is originally designed to work with Internet Explorer or IE browser, but there is a latest beta version available which supports Firefox browser as well. There are two different versions available: basic and pro. Basic version has limited features but should be enough for daily usage of an average Joe. It not only works with normal website, but can also download videos from YouTube, Myspace and other sites. Users can also share their favorite links, content, pictures, movies and other embedded media via email.
Features of Pimpfish
Pimpfish is an ideal option for IE users. Pro version can perform perennial operations.
Until now we have covered add-ons or plugins for Internet Explorer and Firefox, now we’re left with Google Chrome browser (find out Google Chrome browser alternatives). Image collector is a Google Chrome extension which is distributed for free on Chrome store. Similar to above extensions, it can be used to download images and lot many things from a webpage. However, it works in different way. Users can directly download images to their Dropbox or Google Drive account. In order to download images to your Windows Pc, you need to install Cygwin. Linux and Unix system users would require to have wget and curl commands to download it to their PC directly.
Image collector has smidgen features compared to those of previous utilities, but if downloading all images from website is only purpose then it definitely serves the purpose. Support of Google Drive and Dropbox are added options for those who would like to sync their files directly to cloud server.
