Tool to bulk download images from a website?

Need to download a ton of images from one portal to transfer them to another site. Been at this for an hour and haven't even hit 10% yet. This is absolute hell saving them one by one, right-clicking each image. Are there any tools that can speed this up? There's got to be a better way than manually downloading hundreds of files.

Check if the site has an API or export function first, that's the cleanest way to get everything without fighting the interface. If the site loads content as you scroll, you'll need to scroll through everything before trying to grab files or you'll miss half of them. Some sites throttle downloads when they detect bulk activity, so you might get temporarily blocked if you pull too many files too fast. Also watch out for getting thumbnails instead of full-resolution images.

Image quality is definitely worth checking, nobody wants to move a bunch of thumbnails to a new site. Tools exist that can automate the whole process instead of manually clicking each one. Install the Image Downloader extension in Chrome here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-downloader/hohnpmioogigogdedhigjpjjjonkojbk . Opens all images on the page in a grid so you can select which ones to download in bulk. Way faster than spending hours right-clicking everything individually.
