Extract Images from Website
What is an Image Extractor?
An image extractor (also called an image scraper or image downloader) is a tool that automatically finds and retrieves all images from a webpage. Instead of manually right-clicking and saving each image, you can extract all images from a website in one go.
PixelPeeper goes beyond simple image extraction. For each image found, it also reads the embedded EXIF metadata, showing you camera settings, lens information, GPS location, and even Lightroom editing history.
How to Extract Images from a Website
- Paste the URL - Enter the webpage URL into the form above and click "Extract Images".
- Wait for processing - PixelPeeper visits the page and scans for all embedded images.
- View extracted images - See thumbnails of all images found on the page.
- Explore metadata - Each image shows its dimensions, file format, EXIF data, and Lightroom edits.
- Analyze in detail - Click any image to view full metadata including camera model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
Why Extract Images from Websites?
There are many legitimate reasons to extract images from webpages:
- Photography research - Study the camera settings and editing techniques used by photographers whose work you admire.
- Learning Lightroom edits - See exactly how photos were edited in Lightroom, including tone curves, color grading, and split toning.
- Verifying image authenticity - Check EXIF data to verify when and where a photo was actually taken.
- Archiving and research - Save images from articles, portfolios, or documentation for reference.
- Content auditing - Review all images on your own website to check metadata consistency.
What Metadata Can You Extract?
When you extract images from a website using PixelPeeper, you get access to all embedded metadata, including:
- EXIF data - Camera make and model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and date taken.
- GPS location - Geographical coordinates showing where the photo was captured (if available).
- Lightroom/XMP data - Complete editing history including exposure adjustments, color grading, tone curves, and applied presets.
- IPTC metadata - Copyright information, keywords, captions, and photographer credits.
- Technical details - Image dimensions, file size, color space, and compression settings.
This makes PixelPeeper particularly useful for photographers who want to learn how photos were edited or reverse-engineer Lightroom presets from published images.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract images from any website?
PixelPeeper can extract images from most public webpages. This tool is designed for publicly accessible websites like photography portfolios, blogs, and article pages. Websites that require login (such as Facebook, Instagram, or Gmail) will not work since PixelPeeper cannot authenticate on your behalf. Additionally, some websites restrict automated access and may block our service.
Do all images have EXIF metadata?
Not all images contain EXIF data. Many social media platforms strip metadata when uploading. However, photography websites, portfolios, and blogs often preserve the original metadata, making them ideal for extraction.
How is this different from saving images manually?
Manual saving only gives you the image file, and some websites disable right-click or block the "Save Image" option entirely. PixelPeeper detects images regardless of these restrictions, extracts all images at once, and processes each one to display comprehensive metadata including camera settings and Lightroom edits that you would not see otherwise.
