pixiv smart downloader
Extension Actions
Allows downloading multiple artworks and comics from pixiv at the same time.
🐍 What functionality does it offer?
Allows you to select multiple manga and illustrations and download them all at once.
🐍 Why is it necessary?
I found it cumbersome to download each piece from my smartphone or PC one by one. I tried using a similar extension, but it was subscription-based and too complicated to use. So, I created this. It focuses solely on downloading illustrations and manga, so no complex settings or operations are needed, and it operates smoothly.
🐍How to use it
While on the Pixiv page, hover over the thumbnail of the artwork you want to save, and click the "Select" button that appears. Or, if you have opened the artwork you want to save, you can press "Select the currently opened artwork" from the popup. Continue selecting other artworks you wish to download. Press the "Execute" button to start the download process.
🐍Testing environment
This has been confirmed to work on the following environments, but operation is not guaranteed:
- Chrome
- Vivaldi
🐍 Background Operation
This program does not operate in the background. However, it works on pixiv pages to fetch artworks and generate buttons. On the download page, it shows the download progress and closes automatically when the download is complete. (It won't steal focus, so it shouldn't be disruptive.) Please do not manually close this page, as the download process is being handled here.

- It doesn't work on animated ones... otherwise it does as intended.

- It's hard to give it a good or bad rating, but I want to lean on the negative. It's a convenient tool when trying to mass download files, but it also has a tendency to sometimes just not download everything at once. I'm also not a fan of how it forces a naming convention that is similar to the original minus a missing letter so if you accidentally downloaded something manually, it will mean you have duplicate files. But the first problem is the main issue. It's a bit silly finding out only 20 of 80 were actually saved to my computer, then either having to restart the process, or do the rest manually. (Which I downloaded the tool to avoid doing) Idk what causes this either, so it's difficult to give feedback or advice on how to work around it.
