Image Fusker Utility - Free Fusker Tool
Ever needed to download 100 images from a website, but they're named pic001.jpg, pic002.jpg, pic003.jpg... and so on? Clicking each one manually would take forever.
A fusker (also called URL pattern tool) solves this problem. Instead of 100 clicks, you write one pattern: pic[001-100].jpg — and the tool generates all 100 URLs automatically.
This technique works for any files with sequential names: images, documents, archives, videos. If there's a number in the filename, you can probably use a fusker pattern.

A fusker pattern is a URL template with placeholders that expand into multiple values. The most common placeholder is a numeric range.
Basic syntax
Where:
- START — first number in the sequence
- END — last number in the sequence
Pattern examples
http://site.com/img[1-5].jpgGenerates:
- img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg, img4.jpg, img5.jpg
http://site.com/photo[001-100].pngZero-padded numbers (keeps leading zeros):
- photo001.png, photo002.png, ... photo099.png, photo100.png
http://site.com/pic[10-50:5].jpgWith step (every 5th number):
- pic10.jpg, pic15.jpg, pic20.jpg, pic25.jpg, ... pic50.jpg
http://site.com/gallery/[a-z].jpgLetter ranges also work:
- a.jpg, b.jpg, c.jpg, ... z.jpg
http://site.com/photos/{paris,london,tokyo}.jpgWord lists — specific values instead of ranges:
- paris.jpg, london.jpg, tokyo.jpg
http://site.com/[2020-2024]/month[01-12].jpgMultiple ranges (generates all combinations):
- 2020/month01.jpg, 2020/month02.jpg, ... 2024/month12.jpg
- (60 URLs total: 5 years × 12 months)
Direct Downloads vs Page Scanning
Fusker patterns can be used in two different ways, depending on what you're downloading.
Direct file URLs
When you know the exact URL pattern for the files themselves. The tool downloads each file directly.
→ Downloads 100 JPG files
Page scanning
When images are embedded in HTML pages. The tool visits each page, finds all images, and downloads them.
→ Scans 50 pages, extracts all images
Page scanning is especially useful for forums, blogs, and galleries where images are displayed on paginated HTML pages rather than having predictable direct URLs.
Real-World Use Cases
Forum threads
Download all images from a multi-page forum discussion. Many forums use URL parameters like ?page=1, ?page=2, etc.

Many photography sites name files sequentially. Look at a few image URLs to find the pattern.
http://gallery.com/album/2024/IMG_[0001-0500].jpgWebcomic archives
Download entire webcomic archives where each page/strip has a numbered filename.
http://comic.example.com/strips/strip-[0001-1500].pngWallpaper collections
Wallpaper sites often organize images by resolution and number.
http://wallpapers.com/4k/nature/wallpaper_[001-200].jpgScientific datasets
Research data, satellite images, or any numbered file series.

- Right-click → "Copy image address"
Look at the actual URL of an image. If it contains numbers, there's likely a pattern. - Compare multiple URLs
Copy URLs of the first and last image in a gallery. The changing number is your range. - Check for zero-padding
If filenames are img001.jpg (not img1.jpg), use [001-100] to preserve leading zeros. - Watch for gaps
Some sequences skip numbers. Use step parameter [1-100:2] for even numbers only, or let the downloader skip missing files automatically. - Try browser DevTools
Press F12 → Network tab → filter by "img". This shows all image URLs being loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is using a fusker legal?
Fusker tools simply automate downloading files that are publicly accessible. It's the same as right-clicking and saving each image manually — just faster. Always respect copyright and terms of service of the websites you download from.
What if some files in the range don't exist?
NeoDownloader automatically skips missing files (404 errors) and continues downloading the rest. You don't need to know the exact range — just estimate and let the tool handle gaps.
How do I find the URL pattern for a website?
Right-click an image and select "Copy image address". Look for numbers in the URL — that's usually where the pattern is. Compare URLs of the first and last images to determine the range.
What's the difference between free and premium versions?
The free version limits downloads to 100 files per project. No time limit, no watermarks, unlimited projects. The premium version ($29, one-time) removes all limits and adds HD/4K video support.
