Social Media Image Saver
TL;DR: Open a social post or profile → PicHound detects every visible image → filter by size/format → download as a local ZIP. No uploads, no login; Free plan allows 5 saves/day.
Social media managers, content creators, and brand strategists handle dozens of images daily: competitor posters, viral covers, KOL outfits, user-generated content. PicHound bulk-saves visible images already loaded on Instagram, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Twitter/X, and Weibo straight into your local library. Processing is 100% local inside the browser — no cloud login required. The extension supports 30+ languages, ships with 50+ e-commerce smart grouping scripts, and can automatically categorize product-heavy pages. For deeper editing, trigger RMBG-1.4/MODNet AI background removal (first-time model download is ~100MB), all locally.
The Free plan gives you 5 saves per day; for high-volume archiving, upgrade to Lifetime Pro at $13.99 / ¥71.99, activatable on 3 devices (unlimited when signed in with a Google account).

FAQ
Can PicHound download images from private accounts?
No. PicHound only saves images that are already visible and loaded on the page. It does not bypass login, privacy settings, or paywalls.
Can I save all images from an Instagram carousel?
Yes. Scroll or navigate through the carousel so all images are loaded and visible, then PicHound can detect and batch download them.
Will saved images have watermarks?
PicHound saves the images as shown on the webpage. If the platform embeds watermarks into the original image, the saved image will include them. PicHound does not and will not remove watermarks.
Is the Free version enough?
The Free version allows 5 saves per day, enough for light use. Upgrade to Lifetime Pro for unlimited archiving.
