How do I download Google Doodle?
How do I download Google Doodle? Google doodles are normally just images, static or animated. In some cases though, they can include a by-line. Disabling the flag will disable/hide the Google doodle but the by-line will still be present at the very bottom of the New Tab Page.
The doodles have a limited life span and after a few days, they’re removed. You can still view Google’s archive of the doodles, and play the interactive ones if you want.
Why Do People Obsess Over Google Doodle?
The foremost reason can be that they feel entertained by the different themes and colors. Google likes its users to enjoy using the app. Hence, seeing these different doodles tend to enliven their home page quite significantly. People even get updates regarding the important days and anniversaries that they might have forgotten.
How To download and Save A Google Doodle Using Firefox and IE or Chrome
- Firstly; visit Google’s archive page of all its doodles as give above and look for the one you want to save offline. We’re going with the Pacman doodle.
- Next step we’ll be using Firefox because its much easier but can also be done using Chrome. Open the Google Doodle you want to save offline in Firefox, right-click it, and select This Frame>Show Only This Frame. This will open the doodle in the same tab. Copy the URL.
- Next, open Internet Explorer. Paste the URL you copied in the address bar and open it. Allow the doodle to load. Tap the Alt key to bring up Internet Explorer’s menu bar. Go to File>Save as. Alternatively, use the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut to bring up the Save as dialog.
- In the Save as dialog, open the Save as type dropdown and select the Web archive format, and save the doodle. It will be saved with the MHT extension. This file type can only be opened in Internet Explorer. Open it, and you will be able to play the doodle.
How to download Google Doodle and play on PC (desktop app)
If you don’t want to use Internet Explorer to play a Google Doodle game, you’re going to have to look for a desktop app that can load and play the game.
At present, there isn’t a reliable app or extension for either Chrome or Firefox that can play this game file. There are extensions and add-ons that can load an MHT file in Chrome and Firefox but this particular file requires better support in order for the game to be playable.
