In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests permissions including activeTab, scripting, downloads, sidePanel, and storage. These let it identify images on the current page and save them to your device, which is normal for an image downloading tool. The use of activeTab with scripting means it can only interact with a tab when you activate the extension, limiting background access.
As with any browser tool that reads page content to function, a careful user should avoid running it on pages displaying sensitive information. Notably, the developer’s own privacy declaration states that the extension collects location data — a permission that may seem unexpected for an image downloader and worth reviewing in the context of your own privacy comfort.
The fact sheet shows a high maintenance and ownership score (100%), reflecting consistent updates and clear provenance. The weaker dimension is publisher identity (60%), indicating lower visibility or reputation signals for the developer. The overall safety grade remains A (80.42), with no critical permission or privacy concerns beyond what is typical.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

Who's Behind Image Downloader?
- Publisher Pact Interactive
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
