About Pixabay Downloader

Pixabay Downloader eliminates two of the biggest friction points in your creative workflow: CAPTCHA prompts and manual size selection. When you find the perfect image, you want it at full resolution right away, not after proving you're human and clicking through dropdown menus. Our extension automatically fetches the highest-resolution version Pixabay offers for every asset.

Photos save as JPEG or PNG, vectors as SVG, and videos as MP4, all at maximum quality. The extension identifies content types on the fly, ensuring you never end up with a low-res thumbnail when you needed a print-ready file. Even contributor attribution data is captured so you can credit photographers properly.

Everything runs locally in your browser—no personal data or files are ever sent externally. Compatible with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux, Pixabay Downloader makes building your asset library faster and frustration-free.

No more CAPTCHAs — finally

I use Pixabay for blog post images and was tired of the CAPTCHA prompts on every download. This extension lets me batch-pull 20+ images from search results in seconds.

usually gets the full resolution

The full-resolution extraction is the key feature. I usually got the smaller size by accident on Pixabay's dialog — now I get max quality automatically for the streams I saved.

Clean SVG downloads for design work

I pull Pixabay vectors for social media designs and the SVG downloads are clean and ready for Illustrator. The batch queue makes building asset libraries effortless.
