I got tired of right-clicking Reddit galleries, so I built a free, local, open-source downloader

The Problem: The "Right-Click, Save As" Fatigue We’ve all been there. You find a great thread on Reddit with 20+ high-quality images. To save them, you have to: click, right-click, save, and repeat 19 more times. It’s tedious. I looked for existing Chrome extensions, but they were either closed-source or literally charged a premium fee for a basic utility. The Solution: Reddit Picture Gallery Downloader I built a lightweight, Manifest V3 extension that does one thing perfectly: Adds a native "Download" button to Reddit posts. How it works under the hood: Instead of scraping the DOM (which breaks constantly), the extension intercepts the post's underlying JSON. ✅ Highest Resolution: Fetches the uncompressed media URLs. ✅ Smart Naming: Files are auto-numbered (e.g., Post_Title_01.jpg ) so galleries stay in order. ✅ Text Extraction: Automatically creates a clean .txt file for text-heavy posts. ✅ 100% Local: No remote servers, no tracking. Everything runs on your machine. Why I made it Ope
