hover. click. done.
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.
-
the actual file
Not the 240px version the page is showing you. The one that got uploaded, at the size it was uploaded at.
-
names you can search

carousels come down whole
Ten-slide post, one click. You get all ten, numbered in order, including the ones you have not swiped to yet.
-
the whole page at once
Open the popup, hit Save all, and every image and clip on the page comes down together.
-
it remembers what you have
Every save lands in a local library you can search. Click any entry to reopen the post it came from, months later.

no more photo (3).jpg
Grabbit checks that library before it downloads, so you stop collecting three copies of the same thing.
-
no server in the middle
Nothing gets uploaded or queued somewhere else. Your browser can already see the page. Grabbit just asks it properly.
grabbing a lot, without getting yourself blocked
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.
- Skips anything already in your library, so a second run is cheap
- Pause or stop it at any point
- Tells you what saved, what you already had, and what failed
nothing leaves your browser
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.
- No account, no email, no signup
- No analytics and no telemetry
- Access to eight sites, not to every site you visit
- Every line of code ships in the package
read the privacy policy, which is short because there is not much to say.
what it will not do
Two things, said plainly, so you are not disappointed after installing.
-
no youtube
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.
-
some video is streamed
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.
