ChatGPT Image Filename Renamer

Support

Most problems fall into one of the cases below. If yours doesn't, email me and include what you were doing when it happened.

Getting started

Using it

  1. Open a ChatGPT conversation containing an image
  2. Click the download control — under the message, or in the image editor's top bar
  3. The prompt appears with a filename already suggested from your conversation title
  4. Press Enter to accept, or type your own name
  5. The file saves to your Downloads folder under that name

Press Esc to cancel. Keep original name saves with Chrome's default, if you want it just that once.

Troubleshooting

Common problems

The prompt doesn't appear

Reload the ChatGPT tab. The extension loads with the page, so a tab that was already open when you installed it won't have it running yet. If it still doesn't appear, check the extension is enabled at chrome://extensions.

Nothing downloads after I press Download

You should see a message explaining what went wrong. As a fallback, right-click the image and choose "Save image as". If it happens repeatedly, please email me — include the message text.

A set of images saved with ChatGPT's default names

Expected. "Download N images in this series" is passed through to ChatGPT untouched. Resolving each file's full-resolution URL isn't reliable, so that path is deliberately left alone rather than half-handled. Download the images one at a time to name them.

The suggested name isn't useful

The suggestion comes from your conversation title. Rename the conversation in ChatGPT and the suggestion follows. Or just type over it — the field is selected when the prompt opens, so typing replaces it immediately.

It stopped working after a ChatGPT update

Possible. The extension recognises download controls by their accessible labels rather than fixed CSS paths, which survives most redesigns, but not all. Please report it and I'll push a fix.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does it work in Arc, Edge, or Brave?

Yes. Any Chromium-based browser that supports Manifest V3 extensions.

Does it upload my images anywhere?

No. The file is saved directly to your machine by the browser. Nothing is sent to any server. See the privacy policy, or read the source — there is no outbound request to any external host in the code.

Can I use it on Gemini or Claude?

Not currently. Each service arranges its download controls differently and would need its own support. If you'd use it elsewhere, say so — it helps decide what comes next.

Can I set a name once and reuse it?

Partly. The prompt offers your last-used name as a one-click chip, plus a numbered variant for saving a set. Every download still asks, deliberately — silently reusing a previous name is how images end up mislabelled.

Does it change the image itself?

No. Only the filename. The file is byte-for-byte what ChatGPT served.
