How to Save Images Without the Dialogue Box in Chrome: A Quick Guide

To save an image in Chrome without the dialog box appearing, you can adjust your Chrome settings or utilize a specific extension. Here are the methods available

Use the PackPack.AI Extension

Install the PackPack.AI extension from the Chrome Web Store. This extension allows you to save images quickly.

Once installed, hover over an image, and a PackPack bubble will appear. Click this bubble to save the image directly without additional prompts.

Change Chrome Settings

If you want to avoid the "Save As" dialog box, ensure that you do not have the option to "Ask where to save each file before downloading" enabled. You can check this setting by following these steps:

• Open Chrome and go to Settings.

• Scroll down and click on Advanced.

• In the Downloads section, make sure the option "Ask where to save each file before downloading" is turned off. This will allow files to download directly to your default Downloads folder without prompting you each time.

Use Chrome Extensions

Another effective way to save images without the dialog box is to install a Chrome extension called Save Image As Type. This extension allows you to choose the format in which you want to save images and can streamline the process:

• Install the Save Image As Type extension from the Chrome Web Store.

• After installation, right-click on the image you want to save.

• Select Save image as Type and choose your desired format (e.g., JPG, PNG). This method will save the image directly without additional prompts, depending on your settings.

Programmatic Approach

For users familiar with coding, particularly in JavaScript, you can use the Chrome downloads API to suppress the dialog box when downloading files programmatically. This involves using the saveAs: false option in your download function, which allows files to be downloaded directly to the default location without user intervention.By implementing these methods, you can save images in Chrome without encountering the save dialog box each time.
