How to download photos and GIFs from Tumblr

What you can save from Tumblr

Photos, GIFs and videos from public Tumblr posts.

The Photo tab on the Tumblr page of this site saves a JPG image. No account is needed and nothing is installed.

Step 1: copy the link

Open the post on its own page and copy the address, or tap Share and choose Copy link.

Step 2: paste it

Open the Tumblr Downloader page and paste the link into the box. It starts on its own and shows a preview in a few seconds. You can also press the Paste button.

Step 3: save the file

Press the Download button. You get a JPG image. On iPhone, open the Downloads list in Safari, tap the picture and choose Share, Save Image. On Android the file goes to Downloads and shows in Gallery.

About quality

Pictures are saved at the largest public size the platform shares. The same picture you see in the post is what you get, with nothing added.

If it does not work

Open the post on its own page first and copy that address. Posts on a blog's main page share one address with many other posts.

Open the link in a private browser window. If it opens without logging in, it is public. Wait a minute and try again, as platforms sometimes limit requests for a short time.
