About:
gallery-dl is a Python-based command-line utility designed to download entire image galleries and collections from a vast array of image-hosting websites. It handles complex site structures, authentication, and parallel downloads efficiently. Its primary value is providing a reliable, scriptable solution for archiving and backing up online media content.
Key Features:
  • Supports over 1000 image-hosting and social media sites
  • Handles authentication for private or restricted content
  • Configurable with options for parallel downloads and rate limiting
  • Can extract metadata and organize downloads into custom directory structures
Use Cases:
  • Archiving image galleries from websites that may remove content
  • Downloading personal collections from sites like Flickr, DeviantArt, or Pixiv for backup
  • Batch downloading media for offline viewing or research purposes
Alternatives:
  • youtube-dl – Primarily focused on video platforms, with some image site support, but less specialized for galleries
  • ripme – Java-based general-purpose media ripper with a GUI, less extensive site support for image galleries
