The actual file
Not the 240px version the page is showing you. The one that got uploaded, at the size it was uploaded at.
Social networks ship a shrunken copy to your screen and keep the real file on their servers. Screenshot it and you have made a photo of a photo. Grabbit goes and gets the original.
There is no interface to learn. Put your pointer over any picture or clip and a small button shows up in the corner. Click it and the file is in your Downloads folder before you have moved the mouse away.

Ten-slide post, one click. You get all ten, numbered in order, including the ones you have not swiped to yet.
Open the popup, hit Save all, and every image and clip on the page comes down together.
Every save lands in a local library you can search. Click any entry to reopen the post it came from, months later.
Grabbit checks that library before it downloads, so you stop collecting three copies of the same thing.
Nothing gets uploaded or queued somewhere else. Your browser can already see the page. Grabbit just asks it properly.
Scroll a profile, hit start, and Grabbit works through what has loaded. One file at a time, with a pause between each. If the site starts pushing back, it waits longer, and if it keeps pushing back, it stops and tells you instead of hammering away.
There is a ceiling on every run. That is deliberate. The tools that promise to vacuum up an entire account in one go are the ones that get your account throttled, and you are the one who pays for that, not the tool.
Most free downloaders are a funnel. You paste a link, their server fetches it, and now they have a list of everything you have ever saved. Grabbit has no server, so there is no list.
Read the privacy policy, which is short because there is not much to say.
Two things, said plainly, so you are not disappointed after installing.
Their terms do not allow it, and extensions that try get pulled from the store. Better to ship something that stays up than promise something that vanishes.
A few players never hand the browser a complete file. Where that happens Grabbit saves the cover frame and tells you that is what it did, rather than handing you a broken file.
Grabbit is in review for the Chrome Web Store. This page goes live before the listing does, so the button below is not wired up yet.
