How To Download Images When Right Click Is Disabled

October 17th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I hate when websites disable the right-click mouse menu. Usually this is because I just want to go ‘back’, but sometimes it’s because I want to copy some of the images on the page.

Digital Inspiration have shared an easy way to copy images when a website has disabled the right-click menu:

Just point your mouse pointer over the image you want
Press and hold the left button and drag them image either to the address field in the browser or to a blank space on your desktop

Simple! I love it when tips are as simple as this.

And if you use bookmarklets, there’s one to re-enable right click

Allow Right Click (If it doesn’t post in comment here, just google it - there’s a lot of pages that write about it)

here’s a code for one I have, coz it didn’t post right in comment above:

javascript:function kill(d){d.onmousedown=d.onmouseup=d.oncontextmenu=d.onselectstart=d.ondragstart=function(){return true;};}try{kill(document);for(var j=0;F=frames[j];++j)kill(F.document);}catch(e){}
