## What it is
Image Max URL is a userscript and browser extension that finds larger or original versions of images and videos by rewriting URL patterns, with support for over 10,000 hardcoded websites plus generic engines like WordPress and MediaWiki. It is also available as a Node.js module, a website, and a Reddit bot.

## Use cases
- find original full-resolution version of an image
- download images from a gallery in bulk
- get larger versions of videos from social media posts
- batch download photos from an album page
- replace thumbnail URLs with full-size image URLs
- extract high-res media from supported websites

## When to choose
- you frequently browse sites that serve downscaled thumbnails
- you want a lightweight userscript rather than a full extension
- you need programmatic URL expansion via a Node module
- you want broad site coverage without configuring per-site rules

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured bulk downloader with queue management
- you only target a single site with a dedicated official downloader
- you need media that requires authenticated API access the tool doesn't support
