PixivBatchDownloader is a browser extension that bundles several Pixiv-specific tools into a single interface: an artwork downloader, a bookmark manager, a feed downloader, a novel exporter, and a scheduled downloader. It supports batch downloading of illustrations and manga with progress tracking, automatic resume of failed downloads, and deduplication so already saved copies are skipped. The extension also provides bulk bookmark management, letting users save multiple artworks as bookmarks at once and assign tags to untagged bookmarks for easier organization.
Distinguishing capabilities include animated illustration format conversion, which transforms animated illustrations into standard video or image formats for playback elsewhere. Automatic download scheduling enables recurring fetching of new content from Pixiv feeds without manual intervention. The extension can download from multiple feeds — such as bookmarks, tags, and user artworks — applying filters and automatically organising files into folders. It also offers inline content preview for viewing original images and multi-page content without loading the dedicated Pixiv page, and exports novels as plain text or ebook files for offline reading.
The extension works with a built-in viewer and supports a range of Pixiv content types, making it a self-contained tool for archiving artwork and managing bookmarks on the platform.
