Image Extractor: download images in bulk from any website

Image Extractor is a free online service to download any number of images from websites and services that you specify. All web browsers include options to download images, but this functionality is limited to single images or media files only.

Browser extensions, like the popular DownThemAll extension, and programs, like Bulk Image Downloader, support downloading any number of images from websites.

Image Extractor is an online service, which means that you don’t need to download a program or extension to use its functionality. Jut visit the main website to get started.

Paste or type an URL into the form field on the site and hit the extract-button to start the process. Image Extractor parses the specified address and displays the list of images that it found on the results page.

Sorting and filtering options are provided at the top; these are useful if lots of images have been returned. Images can be selected individually or in bulk by activating the “select all” button. Once you have made the selection, hit the download selected button to download all selected images to the local system.

Individual images are downloaded in their native format, but multiple images as a zip archive that the site creates on the fly.

Thumbnail images, filenames, image types, and the resolution of each image are displayed when you scroll the available images. You find several options beneath each image: a download button, a zoom icon, an option to copy the URL, and to invert the background.

The developer describes how the service works in the following paragraph:

Everytime you start the extraction process the server spins up a new instance of the Google Chrome browser. This browser then navigates to the website you entered and detects all the images (visible and invisible).

According to the information on the site, the service works with dynamic websites and single page applications. A quick test revealed that it works fine on many sites, but not on sites that display warnings or prompts, e.g. when you need to verify that you are 18 years of age or older to view the content. A browser extension or a desktop program such as Bulk Image Downloader work better in those cases, as these don’t have the restriction.

Closing Words

Image Extractor is a useful online service to download one, multiple or all images from many sites on the Internet. The main downside of the service is that it does not work on all sites, and that it works only for as long as the developer keeps the service operational.
