Save Images Offline

This plugin for Obsidian automatically downloads online images in your notes and saves them locally for offline viewing. Never worry about broken image links or internet connectivity issues again!

Demo

Features

• Automatic Image Download: Automatically detects and downloads images from online URLs in your notes
• Paste Support: Downloads images when you paste content with image URLs
• Format Conversion: Option to convert PNG images to JPEG to save space
• Customizable Storage: Configure where and how images are stored
• Duplicate Prevention: Uses MD5 hashing to prevent duplicate images
• Manual Processing: Commands to manually process individual files or the entire vault

How It Works

When enabled, the plugin:

1. Scans your notes for image URLs (both Markdown and HTML formats)
2. Downloads the images from those URLs
3. Saves them to a subfolder within the note's folder
4. Updates the links in your notes to point to the local files

This ensures that your notes with images will work even when you're offline.
