Paste a List of Links. Get Every File.
Download files from a list of URLs in one batch — pasted, from a .txt, or from a spreadsheet column. Rename files from your CSV, save as a ZIP, and see exactly which links failed and why.
URL lists are part of Pro ($9 one-time) · Scanning links on a page is free up to 50 files per batch
A batch link downloader for lists, not just pages
You have a list of links — in a spreadsheet, a text file, an email, a dataset index — and you want every file on your computer. Opening each one and hitting save gets old by the tenth link. Paste the whole list into Bulk File Downloader and it downloads every file in one go.
Paste links one per line, or paste any messy text and it pulls the URLs out for you. Import a .txt or .csv file, pick which column holds the links, and optionally rename each file from another column — handy for turning download?id=8812 into Smith 2021 - Neural networks.pdf.
Downloading from a list of URLs is part of Pro ($9, one-time). If your links are already on a web page, the free version scans the page and downloads up to 50 of them per batch — no list needed.
Built for long lists of links
Paste Anything
One URL per line, comma-separated, or buried in a paragraph of text. Links are extracted, cleaned up, and de-duplicated automatically.
Import .txt and .csv
Drop in a file with thousands of rows. For CSVs, choose the link column; the header row is detected for you.
Rename From a Column
Use a title or ID column as the filename. The real file extension is kept, even when the URL doesn't have one.
Filename Templates
Number files in order ({n} - {name}), add the source domain, today's date, or any CSV column. Preview every name before you start.
ZIP or Separate Files
Save the whole list as one ZIP, or as individual files in a folder. Failed links are listed with a reason and can be retried.
Private by Design
Your list never leaves your computer. Files download straight from each site to your disk through Chrome — no upload, no server in the middle.

Downloading lists of URLs, answered
How do I download files from a list of URLs?
Install the extension, click its icon, and open "Download from a list of URLs" (the list icon). Paste your links or import a .txt or .csv file, check the preview, and click Download. This part of the extension is included in Pro.
Can I rename files using a spreadsheet column?
Yes. Import a CSV, choose the column with the links, then choose a column under "Rename files from". Each file is saved with that name plus its real extension. You can also build names with a template, like {n} - {col:Title}.
Is there a limit on how many URLs I can paste?
No fixed limit in Pro. Lists of several thousand links work; files download two at a time by default (up to 8 at a time with the Turbo add-on), and failed ones are retried automatically.
What about links that don't end in .pdf or .zip?
They work. The file name and extension come from what the server reports when the file downloads, so links like /download?id=123 are saved with their proper names.
Does it work with links that need me to be logged in?
Yes, if you're logged in to that site in Chrome. Downloads use your normal browser session, just as if you had clicked each link yourself. It can't get past logins or paywalls you don't have access to.
Is there a free way to do this?
If the links are on a web page, yes: open the page, click the extension, select the files, and download up to 50 per batch for free (then the next 50). Pasting or importing your own list requires Pro.
Does it download videos from YouTube or streaming sites?
No. It downloads files that have a direct link — documents, images, archives, audio and video files. It doesn't download streams.
