Bulk Image Downloader (BID for short) is a web images batch downloading tool with clean and intuitive user interface and simple operation, developed by Antibody Software from New Zealand. It is able to download all full-size images from almost any websites (especially those popular image gallery websites that only show us with the thumbnails of images and annoying popup windows and ads) in one effort.

Bulk Image Downloader is capable of direct extracting the real download URLs of images from a text file (such as locally saved web pages or text file with image addresses) or website links. And the built-in image searching AI can find out the image files with the highest resolution, no matter how a web page is arranged. Moreover, it supports integrating with Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Opera web browsers through the right-click menu, so as to provide more convenient image downloading function.

Bulk Image Downloader has no complex operations, does not need frequent mouse clicks, does not require complicated settings. Plus, it supports thumbnail preview feature, and allows to simultaneously download all image or just the wanted ones from one or more websites with one click.

Key Features

Function Description
Image Host Support BID works with almost all popular image hosting sites, such as flickr, imagevenue, imagefap, imageshack, imagebam, etc.
Social Networking Sites BID supports album downloading from sites such as facebook, myspace, and twitter related hosts like tweetphoto.com, twitpic.com, yfrog.com
Full Sized Images BID uses an advanced heuristic scoring method to locate full sized images. This means BID can work on most galleries automatically, with no user configuration necessary.
Batch Downloading Automatically download from huge lists of gallery URLs via the integrated Queue Manager.
Web Browser Integration BID integrates with IE, Opera, FireFox and Chrome. Just right click inside your browser window and select "Open current page with BID"

Multi Page Gallery Downloads BID can detect and download from most popular multi page web galleries out of the box.
Password Protected Websites BID will prompt for user names and passwords if the web site requires them.
Video Downloading It's not just for images - BID also supports VIDEO downloading from directly linked video files (.avi, .wmv, .mpeg, .mov, .flv, .mp4, etc)
Embedded images Apart from locating and downloading full sized imaged, BID can also download images embedded on a page
Sequenced image filenames (fusker) BID supports 'ranged' URLs for sequenced image downloading. e.g. http://mysite/pics/image[001-100].jpg
Image Validation BID checks every image to make sure it's been downloaded correctly. Invalid images are retried automatically.
Resume Downloads BID will resume downloads from the point at which the connection was broken.
Multi Threaded Downloading BID can download up to 50 images at once. Download those galleries quickly!
Redirection Resolution Some sites use image redirection "services" like imagecash, urlcash etc. to display adverts before redirecting to the imagehost. BID automatically resolves these types of links.
File name unmangling BID will retrieve the correct file name from image hosts that scramble filenames (where possible), such as imagevenue, imagefap.
Generate File names Optionally create your own sequenced file names for image hosts that scramble the file names,
Export Galleries to HTML or BB Code Quickly generate gallery code suitable for pasting into web forums.
Advanced Configuration BID has many advanced settings for things like Javascript processing, redirection handling, and more for those tricky galleries that thwart BID's download attempts. We're happy to help out with these settings if you get stuck - just contact us.
