What Download Butler does
Download Butler keeps your Downloads folder tidy without you thinking about it. Every download is filed as it starts: photos into Images, PDFs into Documents, installers into Installers, and invoices and receipts into Invoices with a name that tells you what they are, like Amazon-Invoice-2026-10-01.pdf.
The built-in rules work out of the box, and you can add your own by file type, extension, website or keyword, with templates for the folder and the file name. A live preview shows exactly where a file will go before it happens, and the activity list shows every file that was renamed and why.
Everything happens inside your browser: no account, no uploads, and Download Butler never opens your files.
Key features
- Files downloads into Images, Documents, Invoices, Screenshots, Archives, Video, Audio, Development and Installers folders automatically
- Detects invoices and receipts and names them like Amazon-Invoice-2026-10-01.pdf
- Rules by file type, extension, website and keywords; first match wins, drag-free reordering
- Name templates with {domain}, {Domain}, {pageTitle}, {date}, {time}, {originalName}, {extension} and more
- Live preview in the rule editor and a tester for any link and file name
- Choose what happens when a file already exists: keep both, replace, or ask
- Optional "Ask before saving" with the organized name pre-filled
- Activity log of every renamed file and the rule that did it, with "show in folder"
- Right-click "Save link / image with Download Butler" in every browser
- Pause with one switch; export and import your rules
Privacy
Your rules and download history stay in this browser. Download Butler only looks at the name, type and source site of each download to pick a folder. No account, no analytics, no servers.
What it can access
For each download: its link, the page it came from, the suggested file name and file type. With the optional page-title setting: the title of the tab the download came from.
Where data is stored
storage.local in this browser profile: your rules and settings, and the last 200 filed downloads (original name, new name, rule, site).
Network requests
None of its own. "Ask before saving" and the Firefox automatic mode download the same link again, directly from the site, when you have turned them on.
How long it is kept
The activity list keeps the last 200 entries; clear it at any time. Everything is removed with the extension.
No account, no analytics, no advertising, no selling or sharing of data, and no remotely hosted code.
Permissions and why they are needed
-
Downloads
Chooses the folder and file name for each download as it starts (Chrome/Edge), saves links you send with the right-click menu, and shows a filed download in its folder.
-
Storage
Saves your rules, settings and the list of recently filed downloads on this device.
-
Context menus
Adds "Save link / image with Download Butler" to the right-click menu.
-
Active tab
When you use the right-click menu, lets Download Butler read that tab's title for the {pageTitle} token. Nothing else on the page is read.
-
Tabs Only if you turn it on
Optional, only if you turn on "Use page titles in names": reads the title of the tab a download came from so {pageTitle} can use it.

Good to know
- Firefox does not let extensions rename a download as it starts. In Firefox, use the right-click menu, or turn on the optional automatic mode, which cancels a matching download and fetches the same link again under the new name (plain http(s) links only; downloads that need a form submission may fail and are listed in Activity).
- Files can only be organized inside your Downloads folder (a browser rule for every extension).
- "Ask before saving" downloads direct links again with the Save dialog; one-time or form-generated downloads may not support that.
- If another extension also renames downloads, the browser decides which one wins.
Frequently asked questions
Can Download Butler move files outside my Downloads folder?
No. Browsers only allow extensions to choose folders inside Downloads. You can set a main folder such as Downloads/Sorted.
Does it work in Firefox?
Partly. Firefox does not let extensions rename a download as it starts, so in Firefox you save with the right-click menu, or turn on the optional automatic mode that re-downloads plain links under the organized name.
What happens if a file with the same name exists?
By default both are kept and a number is added. You can choose to replace the old file or be asked each time.
Can I see where a download went?
Yes. The popup lists recently filed downloads with a button to show each one in its folder, and Settings has the full activity list.
Does Download Butler read my files?
No. It only looks at the link, the page it came from, the file name and the file type.
