Postimages Downloader: postimg.cc Galleries and Forum Originals
Postimages, at postimg.cc, hosts pictures for posting on forums and websites. NeoDownloader saves a Postimages gallery picture by picture into a folder, and when a forum post shows Postimages thumbnails, it fetches the original behind each one instead of the thumbnail.
How to Download a Postimages Gallery
Each picture's page on Postimages has a download button of its own, which is enough for one. For a whole gallery, 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.

Take the Gallery's Address
A gallery's address is postimg.cc/gallery/ followed by a code; copy it from the address bar. A single picture's page, postimg.cc/ and its code, is accepted as well.

Postimages Thumbnails in a Forum Post: Get the Originals
For every gallery Postimages hands out codes to paste elsewhere, and “Thumbnail for forums” is one of them: a small picture that links to the full one's page on postimg.cc. A reader of the thread sees the thumbnails; the originals take a click each.
NeoDownloader does the clicking. Make a “New project” from the address of the post or thread, and when the wizard wants the kind of source, pick “Forum thread”. The Crawler visits each thumbnail's Postimages page, takes the file from its download button and saves it full size.
Pictures pasted with “Hotlink for forums” have no link behind them: the post holds the picture itself, and that is what gets saved, at the size the post shows.
Postimages Links NeoDownloader Accepts
- A gallery - postimg.cc/gallery/ and its code; https:// may be left off
- One picture - its page, postimg.cc/ or postimages.org/ followed by a code
- A page of Postimages thumbnails, such as a forum thread - through the Crawler

Postimages Downloader FAQ
Can I download a whole Postimages gallery in one go?
Give NeoDownloader the gallery's address, postimg.cc/gallery/ and the code after it, in “New project”. Each picture of the gallery becomes a file in one folder.
Can it save the full-size pictures behind Postimages thumbnails on a forum?
Yes, when the thumbnails link to their Postimages pages, as “Thumbnail for forums” makes them. Choose “Forum thread” for the thread's address and the originals are fetched one by one.
Is postimages.org the same site as postimg.cc?
Yes, Postimages answers under both names, and NeoDownloader takes a picture's address from either.
What names do the saved files have?
The names the pictures were uploaded under, as the gallery lists them.
Is NeoDownloader free to use with Postimages?
Yes, with no trial period to run out. The free version has no time limit; Premium lifts its limits on the number of files per project.
