Extract.pics is a small side project and the result of a few inconveniences. In the past months I have been working on the redesign of two news websites, so I needed a lot of images while creating the cencepts/mockups. I encountered a few problems, that I wanted to solve with this project:
- I didn't want to download just a few images and reuse them everywhere. That makes the design feel a lot less "real" and a lot less interesting. I'm also to lazy to download lots of images manually.
- Some of the images were set with background-image in CSS, what makes it more tedious to find and actually download them.
Yes, all the images used on a site are visible in the browser dev-tools. But you don't really have a preview or an easy way of finding the image you want. And you still need to download them all individually.
It might be good to know that extract.pics executes javascript and scrolls down for a few seconds before extracting all the images.
Hopefully this is useful for someone else out there.
