How to Download All Images from an AliExpress Product Page
Published May 7, 2026 · AliExpress image download guide
Why You Need to Download AliExpress Product Images
If you run a dropshipping store on Shopify, WooCommerce, or eBay, you need product images from your AliExpress suppliers. The manual approach — right-clicking each image and saving one by one — is painfully slow when a listing has 30+ images across the carousel, variant options, description section, and buyer reviews.
Common frustrations with manual downloading:
- Description images can't be right-click saved — AliExpress wraps them in special containers that block normal saving
- Images are in WebP format — many platforms and tools expect JPG or PNG
- Variant images are tiny thumbnails — you need the full-resolution versions
- Review photos are scattered — gathering buyer photos means clicking through each review individually
- Videos require developer tools — there's no right-click save for embedded product videos
AliGrab solves all of these in one click.
Step-by-Step Guide: Download AliExpress Images with AliGrab
Step 1: Install AliGrab
Add AliGrab to your browser from the official extension store. Takes 5 seconds, no account required:
Step 2: Open an AliExpress Product Page
Navigate to any AliExpress product listing. AliGrab activates automatically on AliExpress pages — you'll see the extension icon become active in your toolbar. The URL should look like aliexpress.com/item/xxxxx.html.
Step 3: Click the AliGrab Icon
Click the AliGrab extension icon in your browser toolbar. A popup opens showing all detected image categories with counts:
- Main product photos (carousel images)
- Variant/SKU option images
- HD description images
- Buyer review photos
- Product videos
Select which categories you want to include (all are selected by default).
Step 4: Choose Your Format
Select your preferred image format:
- JPG — Universal compatibility, smaller file size (default)
- WEBP — Original format from AliExpress CDN, smallest size
- PNG — Lossless quality, larger files (Pro feature)
AliGrab automatically converts WebP images to your chosen format.
Step 5: Click Download
Hit the download button. AliGrab fetches all selected images from AliExpress CDN, converts formats if needed, packages everything into a single ZIP file, and saves it to your downloads folder. A typical product with 20-30 images downloads in under 10 seconds.
Understanding AliExpress Image Types
| Image Type | What It Is | Typical Count |
|---|---|---|
| Main | Product carousel photos at the top of the listing | 5-8 |
| Variant | SKU option thumbnails (colors, sizes, styles) | 3-20 |
| Description | HD images in the product description section (often infographics, size charts, detail shots) | 5-30 |
| Review | Photos uploaded by buyers in their reviews | 0-50+ |
| Video | Product demo or promotional video (MP4) | 0-2 |
Basic vs Pro: Which Do You Need?
| Feature | Basic | Pro ($0.99) |
|---|---|---|
| All 5 image types | Yes | Yes |
| ZIP packaging | Yes | Yes |
| JPG / WEBP format | Yes | Yes |
| WebP-to-JPG conversion | Yes | Yes |
| Metadata removal | Yes | Yes |
| PNG format | — | Yes |
| JPEG quality slider | — | Yes |
| Subdirectory organization | — | Yes |
| Custom filename templates | — | Yes |
| Auto-open download folder | — | Yes |
Recommendation: Basic covers everything most dropshipping sellers need. Upgrade to Pro if you handle large product catalogs and want organized subdirectories or lossless PNG quality.
Pro is a one-time $0.99 purchase — no subscription. That's 96% cheaper than AliSave's $2.99/month.
Troubleshooting FAQ
Extension icon is grayed out / not detecting the page
Make sure you're on an AliExpress product detail page. The URL should contain /item/ (e.g., aliexpress.com/item/1005001234.html). AliGrab only activates on product pages, not search results or store pages. Try refreshing the page.
0 images found after clicking download
The page hasn't fully loaded yet. Wait for the product images to appear in the carousel, then try again. If on a slow connection, wait 5-10 seconds after the page visually loads.
Description images are missing from the ZIP
AliExpress lazy-loads description images — they only load when you scroll down. AliGrab handles this automatically by triggering a scroll before capture. If images are still missing, manually scroll to the bottom of the page once before clicking download.
Format conversion seems slow
Converting large images (5MB+) to PNG format requires more processing time. This is normal and happens entirely in your browser. For faster downloads, use JPG format. Close unused browser tabs to free up memory.
