THE SHORT ANSWER

Open a Smutty gallery, let the images load, run Image Downloader Pro, filter out small thumbnails, preview the full-size photos, and bulk download the complete set from Smutty.

01

Prepare the gallery and define the collection

Choose one photograph you can identify and trace it from the source gallery to the scan. Open its larger viewer and wait for it to load. Then check the active filters before repeating a large scan.

Use this workflow for images you own or have permission to save. The ability to access a file does not establish a license to republish or redistribute it.

02

Scan, filter, preview, and download with IDP

  1. Open and prepare the gallery

    Visit the Smutty webpage, open the gallery or larger image viewer, and let the pictures load. Scroll through the relevant sections so that Image Downloader Pro can detect the full-size images from Smutty.

  2. Open Image Downloader Pro and choose Search images

    Run a fresh scan for the page you intend to collect. The results contain image files and addresses detected from the loaded page; they are not an automatic export of an entire website.

  3. Filter the detected images

    Use the available filters to narrow the results. Minimum width and height can remove small icons and previews, but an overly strict setting can also hide useful portraits or panoramas. Start with a representative sample.

    Use image dimensions and file filters to narrow down the results.
  4. Preview and select the pictures

    Check the subject, crop, pixel dimensions, and any similar-looking variants. Select the images you want. Use Select all only after the filtered result set matches your intended collection.

  5. Download a sample, then the selected batch

    Use the selected-image download action and open a saved sample. Confirm its dimensions and frame before downloading a much larger selection. Keep source and permission notes separately if your project needs them.

03

Use Mass Scan to collect images from open tabs

For several gallery pages, open the relevant sources in your browser first. In the IDP dashboard, open Mass Scan and use Scan open tabs. Review the tab titles and addresses, choose the pages you want, and click Start scan.

IDP combines the detected images into one result in Scan Results. Check the scan progress, then filter and preview the combined collection before downloading. A tab that never loaded the relevant gallery views may not supply the photographs you expected when working with Smutty galleries.

Test a source on its own before adding it to Mass Scan, then verify that its tab or URL actually belongs to the batch.

04

Use Mass Scan to scan a list of gallery links

If you have source addresses instead of prepared tabs, use Scan links in Mass Scan. Paste the gallery webpage URLs into Links to scan, one per line, or use Import file to load an existing list. Review the recognized page addresses before choosing Start scan.

The link workflow opens source pages in background tabs and collects their detected images into a combined result. Check that the current gallery, session, and page layout expose the pictures you need. A pasted URL does not force a site to reveal unloaded or inaccessible files.

Choose this mode for a deliberate source list; use open-tab scanning when you have already prepared the exact views. Review the resulting images in either case.

05

Save the scan so you can review it later

Open the relevant collection in Scan Results and use its bookmark action to save it. Confirm that the result appears in the saved section. When you return, review the images, active filters, and current selection before downloading again.

Save a successful reviewed scan for later use; do not rely on an older incomplete result as the latest state of the gallery.

A saved scan retains result information and image addresses; it is not a permanent offline archive of the photographs. Some source URLs expire or depend on a browser session. Download the actual files when you need an offline copy, and rescan the Smutty gallery when its addresses or contents have changed.

06

Three checks that matter for this collection

Temporarily relax restrictive filters

An image can be detected but hidden by a size or other active filter. Inspect the broader result before concluding the scanner never found it.

Check the correct gallery page

A numbered page, selected variation, or individual viewer may hold the missing photograph. Visit that source rather than repeatedly scanning the same index.

Use a small reproducible example

A single known photo is easier to diagnose than a collection of hundreds. Once that case works, expand the same preparation to a larger batch.

07

Common questions

Does a low result count prove the extension failed?

No. Loading, filters, pagination, and source availability can all change the count. Follow one known image through the workflow to narrow the cause.

Should I repeatedly scan every tab to find one missing photo?

Start with the specific source and image instead. A small test is easier to inspect and avoids repeatedly reviewing unrelated results.

Can I scan both open tabs and gallery URLs?

Mass Scan has separate workflows for selected open tabs and source-page links. Choose the one that matches how you have prepared the galleries, then review the combined results.

Does a saved scan keep the image files available forever?

No. A saved result can contain references to files hosted by the original website. Download the actual images if you need an offline copy, and refresh the source scan if an address stops working.

TAKE THIS WITH YOU

Load the image. Check its dimensions. Save a small sample before downloading the whole batch.
