Download from Imgur

How do I download images from albums in Imgur? Also, I want the name of the images to be their descriptions, like this: https://imgur.com/QonsUG1

How do I do that?

You use this URL as argument for gallery-dl.

$ gallery-dl https://imgur.com/i5pFQw3
./imgur/imgur_i5pFQw3.png

I want the name of the images to be their descriptions

This image doesn't have a description, but it would be --filename "{description|id}.{extension}"

This image doesn't have a description, but it would be --filename "{description|id}.{extension}"

I mean the words at the bottom of each image, like this: https://imgur.com/a/amagi-brilliant-park-japanese-credits-XEpCe9t

Did you even try --filename "{description|id}.{extension}" ?

$ gallery-dl --filename "{description|id}.{extension}" https://imgur.com/a/amagi-brilliant-park-japanese-credits-XEpCe9t
./imgur/XEpCe9t - Amagi Brilliant Park Japanese Credits/Episode 1.jpg
./imgur/XEpCe9t - Amagi Brilliant Park Japanese Credits/Episode 2.jpg
./imgur/XEpCe9t - Amagi Brilliant Park Japanese Credits/Episode 3.jpg
...

https://imgur.com/i5pFQw3 still doesn't have a description.

Well, it worked the way I wanted it to. Now I want to download every single image from my Imgur account. How do I do that? I should note that all of my posts are hidden and not public.

What page on Imgur do I get the cookies from? And can I use the latest version of gallery-dl?

What page on Imgur do I get the cookies from?

All of them. Just login and export cookies.
Or use --cookies-from-browser.
Or get your accesstoken cookie value with browser dev tools and pass it with -o cookies.accesstoken="VALUEHERE" (ignore this if you don't know how)

And can I use the latest version of gallery-dl?
