Use images from web pages ​

DL Image Tools adds an entry to the menu you get when you right-click an image on a web page.

Download an image ​

  1. Right-click an image on any web page.

  2. Point to DL Image Tools and select Download image.

The image is saved to your browser's download folder as it is, without changes.

Open an image in DL Image Tools ​

  1. Right-click an image on a web page.

  2. Point to DL Image Tools and select Open in DL Image Tools.

    A new browser tab opens with the extension's tools and the image already loaded.

  3. Use any tab as usual, then select Download.

In a tab, the tools use the wider layout. Unlike the popup, the tab stays open when you click elsewhere.

Good to know

To open the image, the extension downloads it again from the address the web page uses. This is the only network request the extension makes, and it only fetches the image; nothing is uploaded.

When an image cannot be opened ​

Some websites do not let other pages load their images. Then the tab shows Couldn't load that image (the site may block cross-origin access). Download it and import manually.

To work around it, use Download image, then open the extension and import the downloaded file with Choose image or by dragging it in.
