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
- Open Developer Tools (⌥⌘I on Mac, F12 on Windows)
- Switch to the Network tab
- Reload the page
- Filter by Img (or type
jpeg|png|webpin the filter bar) - Click the filename — it opens in a new tab at full resolution
- ⌘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)
