Force browser to download image files on click

by

Using HTML5 you can add the attribute ‘download’ to your links.

<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/path/to/image.png" download>

Compliant browsers will then prompt to download the image with the same file name (in this example image.png).

If you specify a value for this attribute, then that will become the new filename:

<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/path/to/image.png" download="AwesomeImage.png">

UPDATE: As of spring 2018 this is no longer possible for cross-origin hrefs. So if you want to create <a href="https://i.imgur.com/IskAzqA.jpg" download> on a domain other than imgur.com it will not work as intended. Chrome deprecations and removals announcement
