How can I find and view an image on any browser in cache?

Featured Replies

This of course used to be easy, but now is looking to be quite a formidable task.

So maybe there's some kind of obscure browser that would still show up hidden entries in its cache, and what's could be viewed easily.

Are you trying to see what images have been cached by your normal web browser?

 

The location of and the method to view the images depends upon which operating system(OS) and software you use for web browsing.  Please let us know which OS and browser you use.

Yes I am trying to find, and then view, images in a cached folder.
I normally use Mozilla Firefox, but for this purpose I can use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Whatever really is easiest to use please.
I am using Windows 7.

in firefox     type  about:cache    in the url bar and press enter

you will be presented with a screen like this.

Just tried a simple tool for Firefox cache named "MZCacheView".

It's a little standalone app.

You can configure it to show only images in the list and a preview pane.

Good enough?

Deleting Microsoft Edge, then using Internet Explorer, this time I was not only able to find the file, but open it - headway.

Now although opened can still not be saved, is there some kind of tweak that can be done to permit this?

Since you asked about viewing and saving a file from the cache in browsers that you do not have installed: Is the image still visible at the website?

 

If so, it should be easy to save the image directly from the webpage rather than using the cache.

The image is still being displayed on the website, however you cannot save it.

Previously when this happened, if I found it on Internet Explorer cache, I could view and save it.

With this specific image, today I cannot.

Switch off javascript (they're using it to disable right-click on the images).

If you do not know how to turn off JavaScript:

In Firefox, visit the page and press the Ctrl+i keys to open the information window. Here, you can choose the Media page, find the image and save it.

Can you not just take a screenshot/snip while the image is being displayed?
