How to download Amazon product images in high resolution

To download an Amazon product image in high resolution, open it in a new tab and remove the size code before the file extension, for example ._AC_SL1500_. The URL that remains points to the original file the seller uploaded, usually larger than what the page shows. To save every image of a listing at once, including variant images, use a browser extension. Product videos are a different story, explained below.

How Amazon serves product images

Every Amazon product image lives on m.media-amazon.com under an ID, followed by a size code:

• https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AbCdEfGhL._AC_SX679_.jpg - scaled to 679 pixels wide for the product page;
• https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AbCdEfGhL._AC_SL1500_.jpg - scaled to fit 1500 pixels, the zoom version;
• https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AbCdEfGhL._AC_US40_.jpg - the tiny thumbnail on the left.

The part between the two dots (._AC_SX679_) tells Amazon’s image server how to resize the file. The ID before it is the same for all sizes.

Method 1. Remove the size code

1. Open the product page and click the main image to open the large viewer.
2. Right-click the image -> Open image in new tab.
3. In the URL delete the size code, including the dot in front of it. .../71AbCdEfGhL._AC_SL1500_.jpg becomes .../71AbCdEfGhL.jpg.
4. Press Enter. The original file opens. It is often 1500-2500 pixels on the long side, depending on what the seller uploaded.
5. Save it with Ctrl + S.

Repeat for every image. To get images of other colors or styles, select the variant on the page first. The gallery switches to that variant’s images.

Method 2. Find hiRes links in the page source

Amazon puts the image list for the listing into the page code. That is useful when the gallery is slow or you need all links at once.

1. On the product page press Ctrl + U (Cmd + Option + U on Mac) to open the page source.
2. Press Ctrl + F and search for hiRes.
3. Next to each "hiRes" you will see a URL, usually ending in ._AC_SL1500_.jpg. These are the high-resolution versions of the gallery images.
4. Copy each URL, open it, and optionally remove the size code as in method 1.

Where it gets tedious:

• the source can contain images for every variant, mixed together;
• some entries have "hiRes":null, then use the "large" URL next to it;
• with 7-9 images per variant and several variants, you end up copying dozens of links by hand.

Method 3. All images in one click

Amazon Helper collects every product image from the open listing in the highest available resolution.

1. Install it from the Chrome Web Store. It works in Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave and Yandex Browser.
2. Open an Amazon product page.
3. Click the download button in the extension panel.
4. You get one ZIP with all product images at full size, numbered, main image first.

Image download is free with a generous daily limit. PRO ($4.99 per month) makes it unlimited.

The extension also shows demand based on the “N bought in past month” line and can write an Amazon listing optimized for A9 search with AI. It does not analyze reviews.

Why you cannot simply download Amazon product videos

Amazon does not serve product videos as one .mp4 file. They are HLS streams: the player loads a playlist (.m3u8) and then dozens of short segments one after another. In the DevTools Network tab you see many small requests, not a single video. Saving them by hand means downloading the playlist and merging segments with separate tools.

There is also a rights question. Videos on Amazon listings are usually made by the brand, the seller or influencers, and reusing them on your own listing without permission is a quick way to get a takedown. For these reasons Amazon Helper downloads images only, not videos. If you resell the same product, ask the brand or your supplier for the video file directly.

Using Amazon images responsibly

Product images on Amazon belong to the brand or the seller. Downloading them for research, supplier comparison or to show a supplier exactly which product you mean is common practice. Publishing them on your own listing is different: you need permission or your own photos. Amazon requires main images on a pure white background, and its brand protection tools catch copied images.
