Overview

🐍 What functionality does it offer?
Allows you to select multiple manga and illustrations and download them all at once.

🐍 Why is it necessary?
I found it cumbersome to download each piece from my smartphone or PC one by one. I tried using a similar extension, but it was subscription-based and too complicated to use. So, I created this. It focuses solely on downloading illustrations and manga, so no complex settings or operations are needed, and it operates smoothly.

🐍How to use it
While on the Pixiv page, hover over the thumbnail of the artwork you want to save, and click the "Select" button that appears. Or, if you have opened the artwork you want to save, you can press "Select the currently opened artwork" from the popup. Continue selecting other artworks you wish to download. Press the "Execute" button to start the download process.

🐍Testing environment
This has been confirmed to work on the following environments, but operation is not guaranteed:
- Chrome
- Vivaldi

🐍 Background Operation
This program does not operate in the background. However, it works on pixiv pages to fetch artworks and generate buttons. On the download page, it shows the download progress and closes automatically when the download is complete. (It won't steal focus, so it shouldn't be disruptive.) Please do not manually close this page, as the download process is being handled here.
