The "download all" capability refers to the extension's ability to detect and capture multiple media files—such as videos, images, and links—simultaneously from a single webpage. While primarily known for downloading individual videos, its bulk processing features allow users to archive entire galleries or multiple video variants at once. How to Use Video DownloadHelper to "Download All"
To manage "downloading all" without crashing your browser, you can adjust settings to control the maximum number of simultaneous downloads. Essential Setup for Bulk Downloading
When the icon glows, it indicates detected videos. Clicking it often reveals a list of various resolutions (e.g., 720p, 1080p, 4K) for the same video. While usually used to pick one, users can manage these multiple variants from the main panel.
The extension provides specific workflows for handling multiple files rather than just one-by-one downloads.
Newer versions (6.3.3 and later) include a feature to capture galleries of images and links embedded in a page. You can manually trigger a page analysis from the main panel to discover these galleries or set it to analyze automatically upon loading.
On some sites, you can select multiple items (e.g., using Ctrl + A to highlight everything) and then click the Video DownloadHelper icon to see a "bulk download" option in the toolbar.
