Hey Bubblers
I’m excited to share a plugin I just released (my first one ) to solve a very common problem in Bubble apps: How to let your users download an image easily on any device.
You’ve probably already tried to
- Use
<a download>
(which doesn’t work well on bubble), - Open external website (not very interesting)
- Or force users to long-press images or save as with right click, and you know how frustrating it can be for your users.
Direct and Native Image Downloader is a free Bubble plugin that gives you a consistent, user-friendly way to handle image downloads in your app, with special care for iOS users (where this can be really tricky!).
Main Features:
- iOS 14+ (Safari): opens the native share sheet so users can “Save Image” directly to their photo library.
- Android (Chrome): forces a direct download so the image goes to the gallery.
- Desktop browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox): triggers an automatic download in the Downloads folder.
- No additional dependencies – all in one clean client-side action.
- Simple configuration with only 2 fields:
- Image URL (dynamic data)
- File name (optional)
This plugin is free and open source. Feel free to share feedback, ask questions, or suggest improvements!
