How to Download eBay Listing Photos in Bulk (Manual Method + 3 Tools)

To download eBay listing photos in bulk, open the item page in desktop Chrome and use an extension that packs the whole gallery into one ZIP. To grab only two or three photos, open each image in its own tab and save the 1600px version, which shows up as s-l1600 in the image address. Video needs a separate plan: eBay streams listing video in fragments, so there is no single file to right-click, and you need a tool that rebuilds it.

This guide covers the manual method, three Chrome extensions with different scopes, the eBay API route for sellers with hundreds of item numbers, and what eBay’s own rules say about reusing the photos. Tool details come from each tool’s Chrome Web Store listing or product page, with the check date stated next to each fact. Nothing here is a hands-on test.

Before You Start: What a Full-Size eBay Photo Is

Three facts decide which method fits your job.

The size is in the file name. eBay’s developer documentation for the Browse API getItem call shows a sample response whose image address ends in s-l1600.jpg on i.ebayimg.com (eBay Developers Program, checked 2026-09-14). The number after s-l is the size version you are looking at. SellerGrab’s product page describes s-l1600 as the largest size eBay serves (checked 2026-09-06).

Sellers upload for that size. eBay’s photo help page says a listing can have up to 24 photos, the minimum is 500 x 500 pixels, eBay recommends images of around 1600 x 1600 pixels, and the photo uploader accepts files up to 12MB (eBay Help, checked 2026-09-14). Accepted formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WEBP, HEIC and AVIF.

The gallery is not the whole page. Photos in the listing gallery are separate from images a seller pasted into the HTML description, and separate again from the thumbnails of sponsored or similar items further down. Some tools read only the gallery; a general image grabber sees everything.

If your goal is one hero shot for a spreadsheet, any method works. If you need all 24 photos at 1600px for a cross-listing job, the choice of method matters.

Manual Method: Download eBay Listing Photos One at a Time

The manual route needs nothing installed. It is slow, but it shows you how eBay’s image addresses work, which helps you judge any tool later.

1. Open the eBay item page in a desktop browser. Item pages have /itm/ in the address.
2. Right-click a photo in the listing gallery and choose Open image in new tab.
3. Look at the end of the address in the new tab. You will see a size token such as s-l960.jpg or s-l1600.jpg.
4. If the number is smaller than 1600, change it to 1600 and press Enter.
5. Right-click the image and choose Save image as. Rename the file with the item number and a sequence, such as 256123456789-01.jpg, before you save.
6. Repeat for each photo in the gallery.

Step 4 is a community workaround, not a documented eBay feature. On eBay’s Community boards, a member described gallery downloads arriving as s-l960.jpg and said that changing the file name in the address “often” brings out the 1600px version (eBay Community, checked 2026-09-14). “Often” is the right expectation: if a seller uploaded a small original, there is no larger file to reveal.

Step 5 matters more than it looks. The file name in the address is the size token, not the item number, so every photo you save arrives with a name like s-l1600.jpg. Without renaming, photos from two listings in one folder cannot be matched back to their items.

When manual is enough: one or two listings, a handful of photos each. At the 24-photo maximum, a single listing means 24 rounds of open, edit, rename and save.

What manual cannot do: save the listing video, covered in the video section below.

The 3 Tools at a Glance

All three are Chrome extensions, and all three run on the item page you have open. They differ in scope (any site vs. eBay only) and in what the free tier includes.

This table has no ranking; the order follows scope, from general to eBay-specific.

Tool 1: Image downloader - Imageye (Any Website)

Image downloader - Imageye is a general-purpose image grabber, not an eBay tool. Its Chrome Web Store listing (checked 2026-09-14) shows 2,000,000 users, a 4.9 rating from 16,663 ratings, and a last update on 2026-03-18.

According to that listing, it finds all images on a web page and lets you:

• filter images by pixel width and height, or by URL
• select individual images or bulk download all of them
• check each image’s size and copy the original image URL
• convert WEBP to JPG, or convert images to WEBP, JPG or PNG
• open the tool in Chrome’s side panel

How it fits eBay work: because it looks for every image on the page, an eBay item page gives you the gallery mixed with icons and thumbnails of other listings. The width filter is the obvious way to narrow that down to the large listing photos. The listing does not say whether it fetches larger versions than the page loaded, so use the copy-URL option to check the s-l token before a big download.

Limits to know: the listing does not mention video. Its manifest (checked 2026-09-14) requests access to all websites, which fits a tool built to work anywhere but is broader than an eBay-only job needs. The listing itself notes that images may be protected by copyright.

Best for: sellers who already use a general image grabber for supplier sites and Shopify stores, and only occasionally pull from eBay.

Tool 2: eBay Image Downloader - Images and Videos (WebStar)

eBay Image Downloader - Images and Videos is published by WebStar (webstarue.com). Its Chrome Web Store listing (checked 2026-09-14) shows version 4.3.0, 10,000 users, a 3.1 rating from 58 ratings, and a last update on 2026-09-13.

The workflow on the listing is short: open an eBay product page, click the extension icon, and download. The listing says it supports all eBay country sites and that data stays on your device.

The free and paid split, as the listing states it:

• Free: download single images (JPEG)
• Pro: bulk download images as ZIP, export product info to XLSX, choose JPEG, PNG or WEBP, download videos as MP4, and high-resolution images

Neither the listing nor the developer’s homepage showed a Pro price when checked on 2026-09-14, so confirm the cost before building a workflow around it.

Limits to know: on the free tier this is a single-image saver; bulk ZIP, video and high-resolution images all sit behind Pro. Its manifest (checked 2026-09-14) requests eBay domains and eBay image and video hosts, plus non-eBay hosts that include the developer’s own API domain and several cloud storage domains.

Best for: sellers who want ZIP, video and spreadsheet export from one eBay-focused tool and are willing to pay for it.

Tool 3: SellerGrab eBay Image Downloader

For a dedicated eBay image downloader with a usable free tier, SellerGrab’s extension takes the opposite approach from Tool 2: bulk image downloads are free, and payment unlocks video volume and export options. The details below come from SellerGrab’s product page, checked 2026-09-06. The SellerGrab eBay Image Downloader profile on this site collects the same data in one place.

How it works: open any eBay item page (a URL containing /itm/), then use the Images & Video panel on the right edge of the page. From there you can save the full gallery as a ZIP at s-l1600, or download photos as separate files. File names carry the item number plus a sequence, which removes the renaming step from the manual method.

Coverage: ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.fr, ebay.it, ebay.es, ebay.ca and ebay.com.au.

Free vs Pro, per the product page’s comparison table:

Pro costs $39 per year or $5.99 per month, paid through Stripe inside the extension. The product page adds that uninstalling the extension does not cancel a subscription.

Limits to know: the product page says it works on the item page you have open, one listing at a time, so it does not crawl a store or a search results page. Photos that exist only inside the HTML description, and photos on other listings, are out of scope. It states that media goes straight from eBay to your computer and that it asks for eBay hosts only.

Best for: sellers who move several listings a day and want full-size galleries with item-numbered file names without paying.

Past a Few Hundred Listings: the eBay API Route

All three tools share one ceiling: you still open each item page yourself. If you have a spreadsheet of hundreds of item numbers, eBay’s Browse API is the route built for that volume.

The getItem reference page (eBay Developers Program, checked 2026-09-14) documents an image object with an imageUrl, plus an additionalImages array where each entry has its own imageUrl, width and height. A script looks up each item, reads those addresses, and downloads the files. The sample response on that page shows an address ending in s-l1600.jpg.

Two caveats before you choose this route:

• Setup comes first. You need an eBay developer account and a registered application before any call works, and you should check the call limits for your application on eBay’s developer site before sizing a batch.
• No video. The getItem reference page did not list any video field when checked on 2026-09-14, so API output is photos only.

If nobody on your team writes scripts, extension clicks are usually cheaper than paying for one.

Downloading the Listing Video

eBay’s video help page (checked 2026-09-14) sets the rules on the seller side: one video per listing, up to 150MB or about one minute, .mp4 or .mov files, upload resolution up to 1080p. Videos post to the listing within 48 hours, though review can take up to 7 business days in peak periods. Listings with variations do not support video, so a multi-variation listing has no video to download.

On the viewer side, SellerGrab’s product page explains that eBay serves video as streamed fragments, which the extension reassembles in the browser into an MP4 (checked 2026-09-06). That is why neither the manual method nor the API route gets you the video. Of the three tools above:

• Imageye: video is not among its listed features.
• WebStar’s eBay Image Downloader: MP4 video download is a Pro feature.
• SellerGrab: 3 video downloads per day on the free tier, unlimited on Pro.

Reusing eBay Photos on Amazon or Another Channel

Most sellers who need this are moving inventory between channels, so the rules on both ends matter.

What eBay’s policy allows. eBay’s images and text policy (checked 2026-09-14) allows images, video and text you created yourself without third-party content, plus content from eBay’s product catalog. It does not allow images, video or text copied from websites or internet searches, and third-party content needs written permission from the rights holder. SellerGrab’s product page makes the same point from the tool side: use downloaded media only where you have permission, because the tool grants no rights to eBay or seller-owned content.

In practice, that splits into two cases:

• Your own listings: downloading photos you shot to relist them on Amazon, Shopify or another eBay site is a backup and migration job. The tools above save a trip back to your original folders.
• Other sellers’ listings: saving their photos for competitor research is a different thing from putting them into your own listing, which is the copied-from-websites case the policy names.

Watch the overlays. eBay’s photo help page (checked 2026-09-14) asks sellers not to add badges, logos, copyright notices or watermarks to photos, because they can affect where a listing appears in search results.

Check the destination’s rules. Amazon applies its own main-image requirements, which our Amazon photo requirements guide walks through. For white-background edits after downloading, the Photoroom alternatives roundup compares background-removal tools.

FAQ

Can I download photos from an entire eBay store at once?

Not with the three extensions covered here, which all work on the item page you have open. For a store-wide job, collect the item numbers and use the Browse API route.

Why do my saved eBay photos look blurry?

You probably saved a smaller size version. Open the image in a new tab and check the s-l number in the address; s-l1600 is the largest size SellerGrab’s product page says eBay serves. If the seller uploaded a small original, no larger version exists.

Do these tools save images from the item description?

SellerGrab’s product page says description-only photos are out of scope. The Imageye and WebStar store listings do not address description images specifically, so check a test listing before relying on either for that job.
