e926 Downloader for Windows

e926 is the safe-for-work face of e621: it runs on the exact same e6 database, but only surfaces posts rated "safe". Everything else about it — the tag syntax, the pools, the 320-posts-per-page API cap — is identical to its sibling. ArchiveX is a Windows e926 downloader built around that: you point it at a tag, an artist, or a URL, and it pulls the safe-rated matches in bulk without you touching a terminal.

Because e926 and e621 share one backend, a good e926 downloader is really an e6 downloader locked to the safe rating. ArchiveX gives you the e926 site as its own entry in the app, so the safe-only filter is applied for you — no need to remember to append rating:safe or to eyeball thumbnails. Search a species tag, a character, or an artist, choose how deep to go, and it walks the pages for you.

Downloaded files don't get dumped into a folder you'll never find again. ArchiveX drops each e926 grab into a built-in, searchable local gallery, so a pool you pulled last month is a keyword away. If you already live in gallery-dl or imgbrd-grabber and love them, keep them — they're excellent, scriptable, and free. ArchiveX is for people who'd rather click than write a config file and want the library baked in.

What you can download

How to use it

  1. Open ArchiveX and select e926 from the site list (it's listed separately from e621 so the safe-only filter is applied automatically).
  2. Paste an e926 post, pool, or search URL — or just type a tag, character, or artist name.
  3. Optionally set combined e6 tags (for example a species tag plus a character) to narrow the pull.
  4. Choose how many pages to fetch; e926 serves up to 320 posts per page, so a few pages covers most tags.
  5. Click Search & Download and let ArchiveX walk the pages.
  6. Browse and search everything afterward in the built-in local gallery.

FAQ

Is e926 the same thing as e621?
e926 pulls from the exact same e6 database as e621 — same posts, same tags, same pools. The one difference is that e926 only shows content rated "safe", so an e926 downloader is essentially an e6 downloader pinned to the safe rating. In ArchiveX, choosing the e926 site applies that safe-only filter for you instead of you adding rating:safe by hand.
Can I download a whole SFW pool from e926?
Yes. Paste an e926 pool URL and the downloader saves the entire set in page order, keeping only the safe-rated posts the pool contains. Because e926 uses the same pool structure as e621, multi-page comics and image sets come down in the right reading sequence rather than as a scrambled folder.
Do I need an e926 account to use the downloader?
No. e926 exposes public safe-rated posts through the e6 API without a login, so ArchiveX downloads them without any account or key. You only need an e926 account if you want to use features on the site itself, like voting or personal blacklists — none of which are required to bulk-download by tag or artist.
Will using e926 keep everything all-ages?
That's the point of e926: since it only serves posts the e6 moderators rated "safe", pulling from e926 instead of e621 keeps a grab all-ages by design. ArchiveX reinforces this by treating e926 as a distinct safe-only source, so a tag search won't pull in anything rated questionable or explicit the way the same tag might on e621.
How many posts can an e926 downloader pull at once?
e926 caps the API at 320 posts per page, the same as e621. ArchiveX pages through automatically, so you set how many pages deep to go and it collects the safe-rated results across them — a handful of pages already covers most tags without hammering the site.
