Ultra Galleries
Ultra Galleries is a powerful userscript that enhances the browsing and downloading experience on kemono.su, coomer.su, nekohouse.su, and pawchive.st by adding features for image manipulation, viewing, and batch downloading. It was originally based on Better Kemono Galleries but has been significantly expanded and improved.

Performance and User Experience

hx-boost (like Pawchive).

data-src placeholder attributes to extract the true image path without requiring you to scroll down the page.

Usage
After installation, navigate to a post on kemono.su, coomer.su, nekohouse.su, or pawchive.st. You'll see new buttons injected into the post actions area for resizing and downloading images.
- Use the
DL ALL button to initiate a background batch download of all media in the post.
- The
GALLERY button opens the immersive gallery view. Alternatively, press the configured gallery hotkey (default g) to quickly open it.
⚙️ (Settings) opens the configuration menu where you can toggle caching, modify slideshow speed, change the download naming schema, and manage UI button visibility.
Within the gallery view:
Click any thumbnail in the bottom strip to view it. Navigate using the k (previous) and l (next) keys, the arrow keys, or the on-screen navigation buttons.
To zoom in on an image, use the mouse wheel, the zoom buttons in the toolbar, or double-click on the image. When zoomed in, click and drag to pan around the image smoothly. On mobile devices, use pinch gestures to zoom and swipe to pan.
