About Downloader

Downloader is an open source browser extension that adds direct download links to wallpaper thumbnails on Wallhaven search pages. Hovering over a thumbnail shows the download link, so wallpapers can be saved without opening each image page first. The repository describes installs for Chrome and Firefox, a Safari app, and an Opera method that uses a Chrome extension add-on. The project is licensed under GPL-2.0.

The extension depends on Wallhaven's page layout and settings. Its changelog says it works with lazy-loading turned off in Wallhaven's preferences, although version 0.0.6.2 is the only entry that states this. The option to mark wallpapers as seen during download or preview requires a Wallhaven account and being logged in to Wallhaven in the browser.

Key features

  • Adds a direct download link to thumbnails on Wallhaven search pages

  • Detects the PNG indicator Wallhaven places on thumbnails (version 1.3.0)
  • Can mark wallpapers as seen when downloading or previewing, based on Browsing settings
  • Adds a one-click download button on Wallhaven wallpaper pages (changelog 0.0.8)
  • Released under the GPL-2.0 open source license
Best for: People who regularly download wallpapers from Wallhaven in a desktop browser and want download links directly on search result thumbnails.
Good for
  • Open source under the GPL-2.0 license, so the source code is publicly available

Watch out for
  • The mark-as-seen feature requires a Wallhaven account and being logged in to Wallhaven in the browser
  • Version 0.0.6.2 notes the extension worked only when lazy-loading was disabled in Wallhaven preferences
  • Opera support is described as a workaround that uses a separate Download Chrome Extension add-on
