Quick answer

Can I download all the image attachments from a Mastodon post?

For a public photo post hosted on mastodon.social, Stillmore saves the attachments in post order and puts the post text in caption.txt in the same ZIP. Links hosted on other Mastodon servers are not supported.

Worked example

Four moments from a Mastodon meetup

The Mastodon account paired its re:publica recap with four photos. The ZIP keeps the stage, the audience, the group portrait and the mascot in post order, with the recap in caption.txt.

How to save a Mastodon.social post image

  1. Open the individual post

    Copy its share link. A profile link does not identify an image.

  2. Prepare the album

    Paste the link and confirm your permission to use the content.

  3. Save your files

    Download the ZIP. Open 01, 02 and the remaining photos in order. Read the post text in caption.txt.

Photo downloader FAQ

Which Mastodon servers can I use?

Paste the original post URL on mastodon.social. Links on other instances are not supported by this tool.

Can I download every photo in a Mastodon.social post?

For supported photo-only posts, the ZIP includes each published image in slide order. If any file cannot be retrieved, the tool does not offer a partial download.

Will I get the original resolution?

Each file uses the resolution supplied by the public post source. No upscaling is applied.

Can I save just the caption?

Open caption.txt inside the ZIP. A post without text has an empty caption file.

Does this include comments or replies?

Only the caption of the linked post is included.

What if the account is private?

Use a public post you have permission to save. A sign-in-only page cannot be read here.

Can I paste a Mastodon.social profile link?

Open a specific post and copy its own link so the tool can identify the image.

Is the tool free?

Yes. There is no charge for the photo ZIP.
