[google-chrome] View google chrome's cached pictures

How can I view the pictures that Google Chrome cached on websites?

This question is related to google-chrome

The answer is


%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

paste this in your address bar and enter, you will get all the files

just rename the files extension into the extension which u r looking.

ie. open command prompt then

C:\>cd %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

then

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache>ren *.* *.jpg

You can make a bookmark with this as the url:

javascript:
var cached_anchors = $$('a');
for (var i in cached_anchors) {
    var ca = cached_anchors[i];
    if(ca.href.search('sprite') < 0 && ca.href.search('.png') > -1 || ca.href.search('.gif') > -1 || ca.href.search('.jpg') > -1) {
        var a = document.createElement('a');
        a.href = ca.innerHTML;
        a.target = '_blank';

        var img = document.createElement('img');
        img.src = ca.innerHTML;
        img.style.maxHeight = '100px';

        a.appendChild(img);
        document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(a);
    }
}
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].removeChild(document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0]);
void(0);

Then just go to chrome://cache and then click your bookmark and it'll show you all the images.


Modified version from @dovidev as his version loads the image externally instead of reading the local cache.

  1. Navigate to chrome://cache/
  2. In the chrome top menu go to "View > Developer > Javascript Console"
  3. In the console that opens paste the below and press enter

_x000D_
_x000D_
var cached_anchors = $$('a');_x000D_
document.body.innerHTML = '';_x000D_
for (var i in cached_anchors) {_x000D_
    var ca = cached_anchors[i];_x000D_
    if(ca.href.search('.png') > -1 || ca.href.search('.gif') > -1 || ca.href.search('.jpg') > -1) {_x000D_
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();_x000D_
        xhr.open("GET", ca.href);_x000D_
        xhr.responseType = "document";_x000D_
        xhr.onload = response;_x000D_
        xhr.send();_x000D_
    }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
function response(e) {_x000D_
  var hexdata = this.response.getElementsByTagName("pre")[2].innerHTML.split(/\r?\n/).slice(0,-1).map(e => e.split(/[\s:]+\s/)[1]).map(e => e.replace(/\s/g,'')).join('');_x000D_
  var byteArray = new Uint8Array(hexdata.length/2);_x000D_
  for (var x = 0; x < byteArray.length; x++){_x000D_
      byteArray[x] = parseInt(hexdata.substr(x*2,2), 16);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
  var blob = new Blob([byteArray], {type: "application/octet-stream"});_x000D_
  var image = new Image();_x000D_
  image.src = URL.createObjectURL(blob);_x000D_
  document.body.appendChild(image);_x000D_
}
