Download all images from a website easily

Is there any way to download all images from a website automatically, without having to click through all the pages by hand? Yes there is! Extreme Picture Finder is the answer. Simply enter the website address, select the folder on your local hard disk where all downloaded images must be saved and click Start! And that's all. Now you can switch back to other tasks while Extreme Picture Finder works in the background extracting, downloading and saving all those images.


The example below shows you how easy it is to download all images from a website automatically with Extreme Picture Finder and how to avoid downloading small images (like thumbnails or banners).

To make Extreme Picture Finder download images from a website you have to create a project. Simply use menu command Project - New project... or click the Create a new project to download all images from a website button on the program toolbar and you will see the New Project Wizard window shown below.


Now in the Starting address (URL) field type the address of a website. If this site is password-protected, then check the This site is password protected box and enter a valid username and password.

Basically, this is it. The default project settings a set to download all images from all pages of the site, so you can now click the Finish button and watch images flow to your hard disk. By the way, you can view the downloaded images while the rest of them are still being downloaded - there is built-in image viewer with thumbnails and slideshow in Extreme Picture Finder.
How to download only big or full-size images from a website

By default Extreme Picture Finder will download all images from a website - big and small. But in most cases you need only big or full-size images. You do not want thumbnails, banners or parts of the website design. So instead of clicking Finish button after entering the website address, click Next button several times to reach the last step of the New Project Wizard.


Now check the Show advanced project properties box and then click Finish button. You will see the Project properties window where all project details can be modified.

In the Project properties select the Limits - File size section. This section allows you set the minimum and maximum file size of the images. So check the Do not download small target files, less than box and enter 25 in the corresponding edit field. Also you can prevent the download of huge images by specifying the maximum file size.

Now you click OK button and Extreme Picture Finder will start downloading only big images. You can easily make those settings default for all projects by clicking the Make these properties default for all projects... button.
