Bulk Image Downloader

Bulk Image Downloader or, in short, BID, provides a fast method to download full-size images with minimum effort and configuration. With its help, you can download entire web galleries in just a few simple steps.

Using Bulk Image Downloader is convenient, as the array of supported websites is quite impressive. It works with all the popular image hosting websites (e.g., Flickr, ImageShack, DeviantArt, etc.), as well as social media sites. In other words, you should be able to download entire image galleries from Facebook, Twitter or another similar site.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg. With BID, you can grab images included in the search results of all the major engines. What’s more, it can also download thumbnailed video files, providing support for popular formats, such as MP4, AVI, MPEG, MOV, and so on.

Working with Bulk Image Downloader is quite easy, as the interface features a clean look and a simple layout. First, you have to paste the URL of the image or the video gallery page in the designated field. Alternatively, you can use the BID drop box to forward links to the application.

All the other settings and options are pretty intuitive. The application enables you to set the destination folder where the images will be saved, with or without generating subfolders automatically.  For your convenience, Bulk Image Downloader can also rename the downloaded images to match a user-defined pattern.

Bulk Image Downloader scans the URL to load all the available frames and allows you to preview the images and video thumbnails. All the links are carefully analyzed and, once completed, the download is started. The speed depends on your Internet connection but, during our tests everything went smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that Bulk Image Downloader features browser integration. Once you install the browser extensions offered to you in the last step of the installation wizard, sending URLs to BID is much easier.

Downloading an image from a webpage usually requires you to right-click on the image and click “save as...”, which is time consuming. With Bulk Image Downloader, you get to grab online images without all that hassle, in just a few clicks. Its major advantage is that it provides support for a plethora of websites, meaning you can forget about switching between different tools to get the images and videos you need.
