Download Every File Link On Any Page
A free Chrome extension that scans every link on the page, identifies the ones that point to downloadable files, and downloads them all in one batch — ZIPs, PDFs, MP4s, CSVs, and 30+ other file types.
The simplest batch link downloader for Chrome
Some pages are basically lists of links to files — Apache directory indexes, university file servers, internal sharing pages, dataset mirrors, download dumps. Clicking each one is mind-numbing. Bulk File Downloader scans every link on the page, identifies the ones that point to downloadable files, and lets you grab them all at once.
It works as a batch link downloader for direct file URLs: ZIPs, CSVs, MP3s, MP4s, PDFs, executables, documents, archives — anything Chrome can download. If the link goes to a file, we find it.
Free Chrome extension. No browser hijacking. No premium tier. No "click here to unlock 10 more downloads per day." Just the tool you actually wanted when you Googled "batch link downloader."
Built for link-heavy pages
Detects 30+ File Types
Documents, images, videos, audio, archives, executables — if the link points to a real file, the extension surfaces it.
Catches Links Without Extensions
Direct download URLs that don't end in .pdf or .zip are still detected via content-type hints and URL patterns. Most batch downloaders miss these — we don't.
Filter by Type
Showing 200 links? Filter to just archives, just videos, just documents — whatever you need. Hide the rest.
Select All, or Cherry-Pick
One click to grab everything, or check the boxes for individual files. Mix and match across categories.
Sequential, Stable Downloads
Files are queued and downloaded one after another with built-in pacing. Chrome's download manager doesn't get overwhelmed even with hundreds of items.
Nothing Phones Home
Every scan and download happens locally in your browser. We never see the page, the URLs, or what you're saving. No analytics, no servers.
How to batch-download every linked file
Install Bulk File Downloader
Add it from the Chrome Web Store. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other Chromium browsers — no signup required.
Open the page full of links
Navigate to your directory listing, file server, dataset mirror, or any page where you want to grab multiple linked files at once.
Click the extension to scan
The extension reads every link on the page and shows you the ones that point to actual files, grouped by type with the filename clearly displayed.
Filter, select, download
Use the filter chips to narrow down by file type if needed, hit Select All (or pick specific links), then click Download. The extension queues each file and saves them sequentially.

Batch link downloading, answered
How is this different from a download manager like JDownloader?
JDownloader and similar tools are powerful desktop apps with link grabbing, but they're heavy installs that run on your whole system. Bulk File Downloader is a lightweight Chrome extension that lives in your browser. For most "I just want every file on this page" use cases, the extension is faster and simpler — no app to manage, no clipboard monitoring, no setup.
Can it follow links to subpages and download files from those too?
No, by design. The extension scans the current page only. It doesn't crawl the site, which keeps it fast, predictable, and safe for the sites you visit. If you want files from multiple pages, scan each one.
What about links that don't end in a file extension?
The extension uses URL patterns and link context — not just extensions — to identify downloadable files. URLs like /download/12345 or /file/abc that serve real files are usually detected. Detection isn't perfect on every site, but it covers far more than extension-matching alone.
Will it work on sites that need authentication?
Yes — if you're logged in to the site in Chrome, the extension uses your existing session. The downloads work exactly as if you'd clicked them manually.
Is there a limit on how many links I can download at once?
No hard limit. The extension queues downloads sequentially with small delays so Chrome's download system stays stable. We've seen batches of 200+ files work fine. If you push into the thousands, expect it to take a while.
Does it bundle downloads into a ZIP?
Not currently. Files are downloaded individually to your default downloads folder. ZIP bundling is on the roadmap, but right now you'll get separate files — easier to retry individual ones if anything fails.
Is it really free?
Yes. No premium plan, no daily limit, no signup, no ads. It's a tool, not a subscription.
