Web Image Scraper

🖼️ Find image URLs in public pages

Web Images Scraper helps SEO specialists, developers, and site owners collect image URLs from public webpages, bare domains, and direct image links. It returns each accepted image with its source page, discovery method, available details, and image identity, so you can review or export a structured dataset. It also reads common lazy image attributes such as data-src, data-lazy-src, data-original, and data-srcset when they expose public image URLs.

• Run Bulk Image Downloader to collect image links from several public targets in one run.
• Use Image Downloader to save accepted image files when you need copies in Apify storage.
• Use Scrape Images From Website to collect image links from a public website.
• Use Image URL Scraper to find direct image URLs for later processing.
• Start Image Scraper to build a simple image list from a public page.

📦 See each image with its source and details

Data you get

Each dataset row includes the submitted target, the source page, the image URL, the discovery method, and an image identity key. Optional fields add a filename, extension, response type and size, dimensions, nearby alt or title text, saved-file details, or a ZIP link when available.

If the same image identity appears again from another submitted target or page, the first eligible occurrence is saved immediately and later matches are ignored. The saved row keeps the first source context.

🚀 Collect images from public targets

1. Add one or more public webpage URLs, bare domains, or direct image URLs.
2. Set optional limits, crawl depth, extensions, and URL text filters.
3. Leave Crawl depth at 0 to use only the submitted page, or raise it to follow same-domain links.
4. Enable Create ZIP files when you want one archive of accepted image files for each submitted target.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset from the output.

⚙️ Input

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
startUrls	list of objects	Required list of 1 to 100 public webpage URLs, bare domains, or direct image URLs. Bare domains are normalized to HTTPS.
startUrls[].url	string	One public webpage, bare domain, or direct image URL to process.
maxImagesPerPage	integer	Optional positive limit on accepted images from each page. Leaving it empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted.
maxPagesPerStartUrl	integer	Optional positive limit on pages opened for each input URL during same-domain crawling. Leaving it empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted within the selected crawl depth.
crawlDepth	integer	Number of same-domain link levels to follow from each input page. Use 0 to extract images only from the submitted page.
allowedExtensions	list of strings	Keeps only image file extensions in this list. The default list covers common image formats.
includeUrlPatterns	list of strings	When set, keeps an image URL if it contains at least one listed value.
excludeUrlPatterns	list of strings	Skips image URLs that contain a listed value.
zipDownloads	boolean	When enabled, creates one ZIP archive of accepted image files for each submitted target and adds its download link to the output.

Work limits

For both Max images per page and Max pages per input, leaving the field empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted. The page limit still follows the selected Crawl depth.

💳 Pricing

How charging works

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The Processed target event is charged once for each submitted webpage or direct image URL successfully processed for image extraction. It is not charged per image row saved. The price depends on your Apify plan tier.

🔌 Integrations

Open or export the dataset in Apify, read it through the Apify API, or connect runs to schedules and webhooks.

❓ FAQ

What happens when the same image is found twice?

The first eligible occurrence is saved immediately. Later matches for the same image identity are ignored, so the saved row keeps the first source context.

Can I use a bare domain or a direct image URL?

Yes. Bare domains are normalized to HTTPS. A direct image URL is accepted as a target, and its row keeps the submitted target and image URL.

What happens when I leave a work limit empty?

Leaving Max images per page or Max pages per input empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted. The page limit still follows the selected crawl depth.

Can I create a ZIP file?

Yes. Set Create ZIP files to true to create one archive of accepted image files for each submitted target. The archive link appears in zipFile when available.

Does it work on private or login-only pages?

No. It works with public webpages and public image URLs. It does not log in, submit forms, or bypass private access controls.

Can I crawl a whole website?

You can follow same-domain links within the selected crawl depth and page limit. The Actor does not provide unbounded whole-domain discovery.
