How to download pictures in batches in the browser

Many users download images from websites to add to their desktop backgrounds, create slideshow screensavers, and many other reasons.Most major web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, have a "Save Image" context menu option for users to download images.These options limit users to downloading one image at a time.

It would be even better if the user could select multiple images and download them all at once.You can use the Image Downloader, Imageye, and ImageAssistant browser extensions to batch download images.Here's how to download images in batches using a browser plug-in.
