I am writing a Chrome Extension to extract images in a web page and store them into local disk. Now I have got the URLs of all the images, how can I store them into local disk?

This problem may be solved by using NPAPI but it is not recommanded

NPAPI plugin has the full permissions of the current user and is not sandboxed or shielded from malicious input by Google Chrome in any way

  1. The link to the post on html5rocks is a good one - BUT in your case I guess you want to be able to save to the local file system and not the location that morden browser let you write to (btw, it's not virtual filesystem but a location on the disk).

  2. You cannot save directly to any location on the local file system (security) - However, if you need to save images.. use this little hack: you can open them in a new tab (e.g. add to their link target="_blank") and in this case Chrome will save them to the default location (e.g. ~userHome/Downloads on mac)
