The short version

Bulk Image Downloader and Imageye are both Chrome extensions in the same category: you open a webpage, scan it for images, and download the ones you want in one batch instead of saving them one at a time.

This page sticks to what we can actually verify or what's already documented on our own site. We don't have independently verified information about Imageye's specific features, data handling, or privacy practices, so rather than guess — or pad this page with a comparison table we can't back up on their side — we're keeping this short and pointing you to their own listing for that.

What Bulk Image Downloader offers

  • Smart Detection of hidden originals. Many pages only display small thumbnail or preview images while linking to full-resolution originals behind them. Bulk Image Downloader surfaces both, so you can choose the high-resolution version instead of the compressed preview.
  • Filter by size, format, or source. Once a page is scanned, you can narrow the results down before downloading anything.
  • One-click scan, batch download. Click the extension icon or its floating widget to scan the current page, select what you want, and download it all at once.
  • Real file size and type, not an estimate. File size and format are read from the actual response headers of the preview Bulk Image Downloader already loads, rather than guessed from the image's pixel dimensions.
  • Lazy-loaded images without disturbing your page. When a page only mounts images as you scroll, Bulk Image Downloader triggers that loading in a hidden, offscreen copy of the page — your own scroll position never moves.
  • Complete sprite-icon SVG assembly. Inline SVG icons built as a sprite reference (<use href="#icon">) are assembled with their referenced shape resolved in, so the downloaded file isn't a blank square.
  • Local, offline processing. Image detection and downloading happen entirely in your browser. The extension works offline and doesn't send data about the pages you scan to an external server.
  • No account or sign-up required. There's no login step anywhere in the install or use flow.

Which one should you use? We'd rather you decide based on what you actually need than take a one-sided pitch — including this one — at face value. If the things listed above (hidden-original detection, local-only processing, no account) are what matter to you, Bulk Image Downloader covers them. For anything about Imageye specifically — its exact feature set, data handling, or privacy practices — check its own Chrome Web Store listing directly rather than relying on a competitor's page to describe it for you.
