ImgBB Downloader: Every Image of an Album at Once
Save an ImgBB album on your computer in one go. NeoDownloader takes every image the album holds as the full file ImgBB keeps for it, not the thumbnail the album page shows, and names each one the way ImgBB titles it.
How to Download an ImgBB Album
An ImgBB album has no download button: its page is a grid of thumbnails, and each image's own page offers a direct link to one file. For the whole album, three steps:
One-time setup: download NeoDownloader and install it. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The steps below are what you repeat each time.

Copy the Album's Link
Open the album and copy its address: ibb.co/album/ followed by the album's code. Typed by hand, it works without https:// in front too.

Choose a folder and click Create project. The images come down in full size, however many pages of thumbnails the album spreads them over.
ImgBB Album Downloader That Keeps the Titles
ImgBB titles an image after the file it was uploaded as, and NeoDownloader keeps that title as the file's name, adding the image's ImgBB code in brackets: the same code its own link ends in. Two images with one title never overwrite each other, and any file leads back to its page.
The folder is named after the album's owner and then the album, so albums from different people stay apart on your disk.
Download Full-Size ImgBB Images from Forums and Other Sites
ImgBB, like many other image hosts, lets people embed their pictures on other sites: a post in a forum thread, a blog, a listing. What such a page shows is a thumbnail linking back to the image's page on ImgBB, and the full-size file sits behind that link.
To download full-size images from those thumbnails, paste the address of the thread or page into “New project”. Where the wizard asks “Where do the files come from?”, choose “Forum thread” for a thread, or “Gallery or album” for any other page of previews. NeoDownloader follows each preview to its ImgBB page and saves the full file, not the thumbnail.
A plain link to an ImgBB page, with no preview around it, is not followed: NeoDownloader collects what the previews lead to.
When ImgBB Is Busy
ImgBB turns some requests away when many arrive at once. NeoDownloader asks again for each file it was refused, a few times over; an image that still failed is named in the project's “Journal”, and running the project again brings it down.
A ImgBB Downloader That Runs on Your Computer
Your addresses go straight from your computer to ImgBB, with no third-party server in between and no ads on the way. NeoDownloader takes the whole set in one project and, the next time, only what has been added.
ImgBB Downloader FAQ
How do I download a whole ImgBB album?
Copy the album's link, ibb.co/album/ and its code, and paste it into “New project”. Gallery Downloader saves every image in the album to one folder.
Does it download ImgBB images in full size?
Yes. Each image comes as the full file ImgBB stores for it, the one its page links as the direct image link, not the thumbnail from the album's grid.
How do I save a single image from ImgBB?
Open the image's page and use its direct “Image link”: it opens the file itself, which your browser can save. NeoDownloader is for an album, where that would be one click per image.
Why did an image of an ImgBB album fail?
ImgBB refused it several times in a row, which happens when the site is busy. The rest of the album is saved; run the project again later and the missing image comes down too.
Can I download ImgBB images embedded in a forum thread?
Yes. Paste the thread's address into “New project” and choose “Forum thread” when the wizard asks where the files come from. Each ImgBB thumbnail in the posts is followed to its page, and the full-size image is saved instead of the preview.
Is there a free ImgBB downloader?
Yes. NeoDownloader costs nothing to get, and it takes ImgBB the same way in both versions. The free version has no time limit; Premium lifts its limits on the number of files per project.
Bring an ImgBB Album Home
Paste an album's link and keep its images on your own disk, in full size and under their titles. The free version has no time limit.
