How to scrape the web for images?

A semi-manual method to download Google images:

  • Go to Google.
  • Search for your term, say “sand”.
  • Filter the search for images.
  • Right click in the top blank part.
  • Click Save As.
  • Save it as “sand - Google Search.html” on the desktop.
  • The desktop will have this file and “sand - Google Search_files” folder.
  • That folder will have many “images(*)” files without extension.
  • To add jpg extension to these files:
    • Open Command Prompt.
    • Cd to desktop folder and then to “sand - Google Search_files” folder.
    • Write: “ren images* images*.jpg”.
    • Run it.
