Tip

Grab Full-Quality Images via the Network Tab

Some sites block right-click-to-save, hide <img> tags, or serve compressed previews. But here's the thing — if you can see an image on a webpage, your browser already downloaded it. You just need to know where to look.

How to do it

  1. Open Developer Tools (⌥⌘I on Mac, F12 on Windows)
  2. Switch to the Network tab
  3. Reload the page
  4. Filter by Img (or type jpeg|png|webp in the filter bar)
  5. Click the filename — it opens in a new tab at full resolution
  6. ⌘S / Ctrl+S to save

Good to know

  • Works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge
  • You'll often find higher-resolution versions than what's visually displayed on the page
  • This is also useful for grabbing background images set via CSS (which don't show up as right-clickable images)
