How To Download Images When Right Click Is Disabled
October 17th, 2007 • 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){}That goes in “Location” field ;)
The java script givne by Hairgel_Addict doesn;t work in firefox.. any alternatives.
