MultiScraper is a free, local DeviantArt downloader for Windows. Search DeviantArt by tag through the official API, review every result in one preview grid, and save the images you keep to a clean folder — no browser extension, no scripts. The same search also covers pixiv and kemono, so you collect from all three at once.
What you can do
- Search DeviantArt by tag with OR and exclude operators — see the search syntax guide.
- Preview as it downloads and keep or drop each image with one key.
- Save clean folders of full-resolution originals, near-duplicates removed, with optional captions or a kohya layout.
- Browse offline — your library stays searchable by tag and source without a connection.
Set up the DeviantArt key
DeviantArt's API needs a free client ID and secret from your DeviantArt developer account. Register the app, then run deviantart-login.bat to exchange them for a refresh token, which MultiScraper stores in its local .env file. The step-by-step is in how to get a DeviantArt API key.
Download DeviantArt images in four steps
- Add a DeviantArt key. Register a free developer app for a client ID and secret, then run deviantart-login.bat to turn them into a refresh token.
- Search by tag. Type a tag query and press Run search. DeviantArt results arrive through the official API alongside your other sources.
- Keep what you want. Everything is kept by default. Press X to drop an image, K to keep it again.
- Save to a folder. Name a folder and press Save kept images. The images you kept land in datasets\<name>.
Press X to drop and K to keep. Nothing is written to disk until you press Save kept images.
Responsible use
Built-in rate limiting, retries and backoff keep searches polite. Follow DeviantArt's terms of service and respect the rights of the artists whose work you collect.
