By default, rules for jpeg images and torrent applications will be set. For mp4 videos and GIF images. But, you are going to set a MIME type for that particular file. Now, this destination folder will be inside the Downloads folder. You can also create a hierarchy of folders as I did here for GIFs. This only will be the case for big websites like Facebook, Twitter and others.
To check the URL, just right-click on an image and open it in a new tab. Another option is to set Global referrer folder. Checking this option will download the file to the folder that has the same name as the source URL. Raj permalink. Goshiana permalink. Udayan Sikdar permalink. Sebastian Soldan permalink.

However, I got talking to a few people and discovered something rather strange -- Chrome doesn't offer a simple way to delete these files. I dug around on both Windows and macOS and found the files in question. I had a look-see into that folder, and there's a lot of files in there.
On my main workhorse MacBook Pro there was a whopping , files. These files dated back to mid last year and range from a few hundred bytes to a few hundred kilobytes. The entire folder is about MB in total. Must read: Don't make all the same Zoom meeting mistakes the UK government did.

Another issue that you may run into from time to time is that Chrome will change the name of downloaded files if a file of the same name exists already in the download folder. While that is wanted at times, think of two files that have the same name but are different files, it may not be wanted at other times.
