# Download All Files

> A lightweight browser extension that helps users organize and save publicly accessible file links found on the current webpage. It collects visible links to documents, images, and other resources into a single panel for convenient access — a productivity tool for managing multiple file references efficiently.

Download All Files is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It operates only when manually activated by the user — no background processes, no data collection, no tracking.

## What This Extension Does

Download All Files reads the current page's visible content to identify file links (such as PDFs, images, and documents) already present on the page. It aggregates these links into a structured list so users can review and save the files they need — replacing the repetitive process of clicking and saving one file at a time.

It does not crawl websites, follow links to other pages, or access content behind authentication or paywalls.

## Compliance and Limitations

- Only processes publicly visible links on the currently open page
- Does not bypass authentication, paywalls, or DRM protections
- Does not perform server-side scraping or automated crawling
- Does not access restricted, private, or gated content
- Does not inject scripts into web pages or modify page content
- All processing occurs locally within the user's browser
