v1.3.0

What's new

• Playlist/channel batch download — download every video in a playlist or channel, not just one
• Instagram profile bulk download — save an entire profile's posts as a zip or separate files, same as Pinterest boards
• PDF → image conversion — drag or paste a PDF and convert its pages to JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF
• Faster, smoother downloads — fixed a bug that forced every download through a slow full re-encode, and fixed stalled/bursty progress reporting

Install

Download DownloadIt-macos-universal.dmg below (works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs). This build isn't notarized by Apple, so on first launch you'll need to right-click the app and choose Open, then confirm Open Anyway — see docs/INSTALL.md for details.

Download It v1.2.0

Adds Pinterest board and multi-pin support.

New

• Pinterest boards & multi-image pins — paste a board or a multi-page Idea Pin and choose how to save it: one Zip File, or Separate Files added individually to your history. Works alongside the existing single-pin flow (unchanged).
• The same image format picker (Original/JPG/PNG/WebP + quality) now applies to images inside a Pinterest collection too.
• A visible progress card while a collection downloads and saves — no more wondering if it's working.
• Status/error messages now show as an on-screen toast instead of failing silently.

Fixed

• Native drag-and-drop reliability for files and links.
• A duplicate-history-entry edge case when saving a Pinterest zip.

Install / update

Download DownloadIt-macos-universal.dmg below, or use "Check for Updates" in Settings.

Download It v1.1.2

Fixed

• Window appearing cut off / behind the menu bar on some MacBook screens. The window's minimum size could exceed the actual usable screen space on smaller displays, pushing it up behind the menu bar. It now sizes to fit the real available space and can never render outside the visible screen.

Thanks to everyone who reported this with screenshots — it helped pin down the exact cause.

Download It v1.1.1

Small but important fix.

Fixed

• The "update available" dialog wording was confusing — it implied the update installs itself automatically. It's now clear: clicking Update opens the downloaded installer, and you drag Download It into Applications to replace the current version (same as any first install).

Install / update

Download DownloadIt-macos-universal.dmg below, or use the in-app "Check for Updates" from Settings.

Download It v1.1.0

Download It v1.1.0 — a big update.

New in this version

• Image format conversion — drag image files onto the window (or choose a format when downloading an image) to convert between JPG / PNG / WebP with a quality slider.
• Reliable drag & drop — drop image files or web links onto the window.
• Faster paste-to-preview — quality boxes appear instantly instead of waiting on a lookup; recent links are cached; downloads use parallel fragments.
• Polished Settings — frosted design, cleaner layout, on-brand controls.
