[this description is work-in-progress]

Fetch the original full-size cover-art versions, as uploaded to sites like AllMusic, Bandcamp, iTunes, Last.FM, MusicBrainz, SoundCloud and more...

This script makes it easier to get big size album art from various sites. For example you can easily get 1200x1200 pixels cover art for pretty much any album on itunes, and originally sized user-uploads from sites like bandcamp, last.fm and soundcloud.

The script works by "inline" replacing shown art with largest size found by fiddling with the image-urls. In many cases an image doesn't change display-size in browser, but behind the curtain it has been replaced with a larger image version (now downscaled in browser).

The script can be used and activated in three ways:

  1. As a userscript. Activate functionality by User Script Command.
  2. As a bookmarklet running latest version of script as hosted here on Greasy Fork.
  3. As a bookmarklet running specific version hosted at my GIST.

How to install and activate the script is further described below, but first what happens when functionality of the script is activated:

  1. An orange border appears on all images that the tool tries to re-load in originally uploaded versions...
  2. When finished loading original full-size version of an image (inline replaced), the border changes to red and if you hover your mouse over it, you should see a mouseover text showing you the image's real dimensions (Note, in most cases the images will not actually change the size shown with on the page).
  3. To see or save the full-size version of an red-bordered image, now right-click the image and choose view or save image (or whatever it is called in the browser you use). You might also be able to simply drag the big image to your desktop. Alternatively, if the image is not defined as a link on the page, you can usually also see it full-size simply by clicking normally on it.

How to use it...

For most people, one of the two first options would be best:

Using the userscript

If installed as a userscript, you can activate the functionality on supported sites via your userscript manager addon's User Script Commands. When you are on a supported site, you should see the menu-item "Search big size cover art" be added to items in the "User Script Commands" list. The script's functionality is not activated until you select this menu-item.

Using the Greasy Fork hosted bookmarklet

You can use Grabr via a bookmarklet pointing to the latest hosted script here on Greasy Fork. Simply create a bookmarklet pointing to the following URL:

javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src="https://greasyfork.org/scripts/20771-stig-s-art-grabr/code/Stig's%20Art%20Grabr.user.js?t="+(new Date()).getTime();}())

You activate the script simply by clicking the bookmark when on a supported site. Using Grabr this way ensures you always run latest official version of Grabr. You don't need to install the userscript to use the script via a bookmarklet.

Using the GIST hosted bookmarklet

If you want full control over which version of Grabr you are running, you can point a bookmarklet to a specific version in my GIST. Right-click the "Raw" button on GIST page to get URL for a specific version, and insert it as the URL in the bookmarklet below.

javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src="https://gist.github.com/StigNygaard/83ed9ce9cf7c7377ede59eb702cca2f5/raw/bedf152a68ad2c76d7ccd581bfe078913cf13505/Stigs_Art_Grabr.user.js";}())

For example above points to version 2016.06.21.9 of the script. I cannot change the content of a specific version hosted on GIST. A new version of the script will always get a new URL. So this gives you full control over what version you are using of the script. This is for the "paranoid people" (it's okay to be a bit paranoid on the internet, I'm not offended), but the downside is you will have to manually update the bookmarklet to update the functionality.

... coming up ...


This userscript is based on - and replaces - my old bookmarklet Bigger Cover Art.
