Bulk-Downloading Images from Tumblr with TumblTwo

If you have ever needed to save every image from a Tumblr blog, you know the official way is painful: open each post, right-click, save, repeat a few hundred times. TumblTwo completely automates that.

It originally started as TumblOne, but was later forked and extended by Johannes Meyer into TumblTwo, which is the version actually worth using today. The workflow is dead simple: paste in the blog URLs you care about, add them to your queue, and hit start. The application crawls each blog and pulls down every image it can find.

A few features that make it worth keeping in your toolkit:

• Multiple blogs can download concurrently
• A persistent download queue, so you can add more blogs while the crawler is working
• Configurable download locations and image sizes
• It tracks when each blog was last crawled, so re-running it later only grabs new posts
• Settings are saved persistently between sessions

It is exclusively a Windows tool, available directly from the TumblTwo GitHub releases page.

Mac users have far fewer options here. Downloader for Tumblr on the Mac App Store covers the absolute basics if you just need single-blog downloads.

Worth noting since this tool has been around a while: Tumblr's API and layout have changed heavily over the years. If a blog suddenly fails to crawl, check the GitHub issues page first. Someone usually has a workaround already posted.
