Downloading from Archive.org is notoriously frustrating. Servers are slow, downloads time out, and there is no good way to grab more than one file at a time. Downloading entire collections means clicking through files one by one and hoping each download actually finishes. Internet Archive Downloader removes that friction. It shows every available format for any item (PDF, EPUB, MP4, MP3, FLAC, and more) and lets you queue up entire collections for batch downloading with automatic retry when connections drop. Metadata like titles, authors, dates, and descriptions comes along with every download, and files organize themselves by collection or media type. Researchers pulling primary sources, journalists archiving web page snapshots, and anyone building a local copy of rare media will find this tool indispensable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download entire collections from the Internet Archive?

Yes. Navigate to any collection page on archive.org and the extension will list all items. You can queue the entire collection or select specific items, and each will download with all available files and metadata.

Does it work with the Wayback Machine?

Yes. You can capture individual Wayback Machine page snapshots as complete HTML archives including CSS, images, and scripts. This is useful for preserving historical versions of web pages.

What file formats are supported?

The downloader supports every format the Internet Archive offers for each item, including PDF, EPUB, DJVU, MP4, OGV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, and original uploaded files. You choose which formats to download.

Is there a file size limit?

No artificial limits are imposed by the extension. Large files like full-length videos or high-resolution scans download with the same retry and resume handling as smaller files.

Does it preserve metadata?

Yes. Each downloaded item includes a metadata file with the title, creator, date, description, subject tags, and collection information from the Internet Archive record.

Reviews

I research 19th-century periodicals and needed entire collections from archive.org. This downloaded 2,000+ scanned PDFs overnight with all metadata intact and properly organized by collection.

I archive Wayback Machine snapshots of news articles for journalism projects. The extension captures complete page snapshots including images and stylesheets, which is exactly what I need.

Our library digitization project uses Internet Archive as a primary source. Bulk downloading with format selection has saved our team hundreds of hours compared to manual downloads.

123rf Downloader
Downloading stock photos from 123RF one at a time is a chore. The perfect images are right there, the credits are loaded, and yet the workflow is clicking through each one individually, saving, renaming, and trying to remember which ones were already grabbed last week. 123RF Downloader lets you batch download licensed photos, vectors, and illustrations straight from search results or lightboxes. Every file keeps its original quality and metadata and names itself with the asset ID for easy tracking. It flags images already downloaded so you don't waste credits pulling the same file twice. Runs entirely inside your browser with nothing sent to outside servers. Get assets organized on your computer and get back to the actual design work.

Adobe Stock Downloader
Creative Cloud's built-in download flow for Adobe Stock is painfully slow when you need more than a handful of assets. Opening each file, waiting for the sync, dragging it into the right project folder. It adds up fast when licensing dozens of images a week. This browser extension lets you batch-download licensed Adobe Stock content directly to local folders, skipping Creative Cloud entirely. Browse any search results page or board on stock.adobe.com, click the extension icon, select the assets you want, and they download in full quality. Photos save as JPEG, vectors as EPS or SVG, videos as MP4. All embedded keywords and license info stay intact, so importing into your asset management system works seamlessly. The extension also tags every file with its Adobe Stock asset ID and warns you before re-downloading something you already have. Everything processes locally in your browser with nothing sent to outside servers. Try 3 free downloads to see the difference, no credit card required.

Alamy Downloader
When your newsroom or agency licenses images from Alamy, organizing the downloads should not be the hard part. Alamy's interface was not built for pulling 50 editorial photos into a local folder with their captions and rights info attached. The result is downloading one at a time, renaming files manually, and hoping no credit line gets missed. Alamy Downloader lets you batch download from search results, lightboxes, or contributor portfolios in one sweep. Every image keeps its full caption, keywords, rights-managed metadata, and contributor credits, the details you need for publishing and compliance. Files auto-tag with the Alamy image ID, and it tracks what you have already pulled so you never waste time on duplicates. Everything runs inside your browser with no credentials or files sent externally. Get licensed images from Alamy to your workspace faster.

ArtStation Downloader
An incredible ArtStation portfolio bookmarked for reference can be gone a month later. The artist switched employers, redesigned their portfolio, or deleted their account. There's no way to recover what wasn't saved, and ArtStation doesn't offer a bulk download option. ArtStation Downloader lets you build a permanent reference library from the concept art, 3D renders, and illustrations you find on ArtStation. Download an entire artist's portfolio in one batch, or pick specific projects to save. You get the full-resolution originals, not the compressed gallery thumbnails, and everything organizes itself by artist name and project title on your computer. Students studying technique, game developers collecting references, and artists backing up their own published work all get a collection that's safe on their own machine. Everything processes locally in your browser with no data sent externally.

Audiomack Downloader
Signal drops on the subway and the Audiomack track cuts out mid-verse. Streaming is great until you're underground, on a plane, or somewhere with spotty service. There's no easy way to save Audiomack music for offline play without this extension. Browse Audiomack like normal, and a download button shows up on every track, album, and playlist page. One click saves the audio to your computer in the same quality you hear when streaming. Playlists with 50+ tracks? Batch mode grabs them all in one queue. Every file gets tagged with artist name, album, genre, and track number automatically, so your music library stays organized without manual renaming. Whether you're building a workout playlist, archiving your own uploads, or stacking tracks for your next DJ set, everything downloads privately inside your browser with nothing shared or uploaded anywhere. Start with 3 free downloads to try it out, no credit card needed.

Bandcamp Downloader
An album bought on Bandcamp six months ago now needs to be re-downloaded. Switched computers, or the files got lost in a backup mishap. Bandcamp's re-download process works, but it's clunky. Hunting through email receipts, clicking through multiple pages, downloading one format at a time. This extension makes it painless. Visit any Bandcamp album or artist page and grab the audio directly from your browser, complete with cover art, track numbers, and all the metadata you'd expect. Batch mode queues every album from an artist's full catalog and downloads them in order, so you walk away and come back to a perfectly organized local library. Files save in their original quality without any conversion or quality loss, and everything imports cleanly into music players like foobar2000, MusicBee, or Apple Music. Nothing leaves your browser. No uploads, no third-party servers, no tracking. Try 3 free downloads to see how simple it is.

Beatport Downloader
30 tracks just bought on Beatport for Saturday's set. Now comes the tedious part: downloading each one, making sure the BPM and key data actually made it into the file, and hoping Rekordbox doesn't force a full re-analysis. This extension handles all of it. Browse any Beatport chart, label page, or purchase library, and download tracks directly from your browser with BPM, musical key, genre, artist, and release date already embedded in every file. Batch mode is where it really shines for DJs. Queue an entire Top 100 chart or a label's full catalog and let it run. Every track saves with the metadata your DJ software needs, so Rekordbox, Traktor, and Serato can read the BPM and key instantly without re-analysis. Audio stays in its original quality with no conversion, and everything processes locally in your browser. No data leaves your machine. Try 3 free downloads before your next gig to see the difference.

Behance Downloader
An incredible Behance case study with 40 beautifully crafted images needs to be referenced later. Behance has no download button. Screenshotting immediately loses quality, misses details, and produces a messy folder of cropped captures that look nothing like the originals. Multiple projects make the problem worse. This browser extension solves that completely. Open any public Behance project page, click the extension icon, and every image on the page, hero banners, mockups, detail shots, all of it, downloads at the original upload quality. Paste a designer's profile URL and the extension queues every public project for batch download. Files save into organized folders that mirror the project structure, with image order and captions preserved so your reference library makes sense offline. It also works for backing up your own Behance portfolio before a website migration. Everything processes locally in your browser with nothing sent to outside servers. Try 3 free downloads to see for yourself, no credit card needed.
