Grabbo 1.0.0
As a magpie of the Information Superhighway, I often save images from web pages to share. Frustratingly, such a simple thing is not easy! Mostly gone are the days where a right-click-left-click would download a copy to disk.
In 2026, images are served in multiple sizes, loaded using a tangle of JavaScript or even locked away using arcane obfuscation techniques.
A few days ago I got annoyed enough to have Claude knock up a quick bookmarklet which worked quite well. I spent an hour this afternoon refining it somewhat and now I’m releasing it for fellow magpies of the future.
Grabbo is a bookmarklet that shows the best-quality version of every image on a web page. Images are rendered in glorious <img> tags so you can copy/save them easily without scratching around in devtools.
