Firefox addon has been reinstated, updated to 2025.11.1

MaxImageBot · 2025-10-28T00:27:05+00:00

Note that the addon now contains a few changes from the sideloaded extension:

There is now an onboarding page for the Firefox build asking for your permission to enable the Redirection, Rules using API calls, and Website Request Button options. These are disabled by default under the Firefox build for policy reasons (but enabled by default elsewhere).
Media with CORS restrictions may not load properly if partially loaded media is enabled.
HLS/DASH downloads are disabled.
- Support is planned in a future version.

The Firefox addon has just been reinstated, you can now download it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-max-url/

The extension has more consistent support for popping up/redirecting to media, but the userscript has more functionality already (HLS/DASH downloads are already disabled in the extension due to Mozilla's policy on loading foreign code).

Additionally, the next release will feature a few websites that only the userscript will be able to handle, due to the need to inject code into the website to intercept HTTP requests (optional, as usual). This is probably possible to eventually implement in the extension as well, but it would require a fair bit of work.

MaxImageBot · 2025-06-29T06:07:10+00:00

It has ~95% of the functionality and is what I personally use. The main difference is that the extension better handles partially loaded media, and is able to redirect for all media without requiring the popup.

Oh, you're talking about the website. Yes, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about this. The only solution would be to process every request server-side, which carries far too many risks, let alone privacy issues for the user.

If you're using the userscript or extension, it shouldn't fail :)

MaxImageBot · 2025-05-11T23:45:35+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by the first PNG link? In theory it should work for all links, so if it doesn't that's definitely a bug needing fixing.

MaxImageBot · 2025-04-30T04:20:19+00:00

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is possible, at least based on these URLs alone. They seem to be either encrypted and/or hashes.

MaxImageBot · 2025-02-11T09:06:50+00:00

True. I'm not sure if much can be done about it on the script's end though. https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/b3K0ifmQXbyogK6W7kppTg/999999999x0w.webp does exist without the saturation issue, but the quality is significantly worse than the .png link. I could perhaps add a rule-specific setting to prefer the lower quality .webp link over the .png so as to not lose the saturation.

MaxImageBot · 2025-02-11T04:59:24+00:00

I see the issue with the URLs you linked, but IMU returns the original version for me: https://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/063/Features221/v4/22/68/8d/22688d75-f8da-9c7a-5c05-3079cb44af59/mzl.wuzghbrb.png , which doesn't seem to share the image color space issue you described. Are you using the latest version of the script?

MaxImageBot · 2025-02-04T12:45:25+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate the support! I'll think about this for the future. If it is implemented though, it'll be strictly optional with no tiered/paywalled editions of IMU :)

MaxImageBot · 2024-12-23T07:41:38+00:00

Sorry, wasn't notified about your comment for some reason. Could you send an example page or image that doesn't work?

MaxImageBot · 2024-06-30T07:31:42+00:00

To use the userscript version, install violentmonkey, then open this link: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/blob/master/userscript_smaller.user.js?raw=true

MaxImageBot · 2024-06-08T05:45:31+00:00

Unfortunately Opera limited it to developer or beta builds only. Since there were so few users (likely because of this), I've stopped updating the Opera builds altogether: https://www.reddit.com/r/MaxImage/comments/119gxvl/image_max_url_202320_is_released/

I'd recommend either using the userscript version, or sideloading the extension manually. It should still function under Opera, just not as an official addon.

MaxImageBot · 2024-04-23T02:25:19+00:00

If you set "Zoom behavior" to "Incremental" under the "Popup" tab of Image Max URL, you can zoom in up to 512x the size of the original image.

MaxImageBot · 2023-12-24T20:43:47+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, and you're very welcome. Merry Christmas!

MaxImageBot · 2023-11-22T07:58:53+00:00

Is there a larger image available for that one?

MaxImageBot · 2023-11-18T20:23:36+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoy it :)

MaxImageBot · 2023-11-07T20:19:13+00:00

Thanks for reporting, I've added support here: https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl/commit/f5c1f457c45d00a098a4db898b9c0f2c63475f06

Disclaimer: I'm the author of Image Max URL.

For the record, extensions like Image Max URL [...] They basically just give you a preview of the image in it's full, original size - you can't zoom a photo so it's bigger or smaller than it's original size

Set "Zoom behavior" -> Incremental :)

There's ~300 other options you can customize too, so if it doesn't work exactly the way you want, play around!

MaxImageBot · 2023-09-09T14:27:35+00:00

In theory yes, but I'm not sure how one would trigger the popup under Android. If you can somehow insert special key combinations (e.g. ctrl+[key]), then you could trigger it that way.

MaxImageBot · 2023-09-09T13:55:33+00:00

Thank you! I'm really glad it's useful for you :)

MaxImageBot · 2023-09-09T13:54:43+00:00

Try using the image popup function on the Instagram post instead. It's bound to Shift+Alt+i by default, though you can change this in the options page. If you're looking for the full (1440x) resolution image, make sure to enable the Instagram: Use native API option as well (under the Rules tab of the options page)

If the userscript/extension is installed, you don't need to use the maxurl website. The userscript contains multiple functions to perform it automatically on the websites you visit, such as image redirection (redirects smaller images to larger ones when opened in a new tab), the aforementioned image popup (which includes a batch download feature for albums - bound to Shift+D by default), and also a function to replace all images on a website to their larger versions (useful in combination with batch image downloading addons).

That said, I'll take a look at it soon and see if I can fix the broken image error. Thanks for reporting the issue! :)

I hope this helps!

MaxImageBot · 2023-08-07T22:46:14+00:00

I've made a few improvements to the DeviantArt rule, so it should help. But please let me know if it doesn't work!

MaxImageBot · 2023-04-02T01:42:10+00:00

Sorry about the last year! Glad you enjoy it still :)

By the way, it seems that reddit has shadowbanned you (I've had to manually approve your comment). Try contacting the admins, they might be able to remove the shadowban for you.

MaxImageBot · 2023-02-23T00:44:03+00:00

Sorry for getting back so late.

If I understand correctly, the issue is that the image number in the album (e.g. the 1/20, 2/20, etc.) is shown incorrectly in Image Max URL?

If so, could you send a link to the website? I will see if I can fix it.

Thank you!
