[New plugin] Direct and Native Image Downloader

Hey Bubblers :waving_hand:

I’m excited to share a plugin I just released (my first one :partying_face:) 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!).


:hammer_and_wrench: 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)

:raising_hands: This plugin is free and open source. Feel free to share feedback, ask questions, or suggest improvements!
