Multi Image Downloader Grabs Pics In Bulk From Google

Windows: Google Image Search is great at showing thumbnail results, but not so hot at making full-size originals easy to download. Free and portable app Multi Image Downloader is a two-step bulk downloader that’s really simple to use.

Multi Image Downloader can’t do its own searching, but instead asks you to copy and paste the URL address from any Google Image Search. Given that Google now lets searchers pin down exact sizes and color tendencies, it makes some sense that this tiny app wouldn’t bother to re-create its own search interface.

Once you’ve entered your search, your only other jobs are to limit how many pages of search results you want to grab from, limit file types, if necessary, and choose a download location. You will almost certainly get duplicates on searches for popular items and scenes, given the lack of filtering, but working with your images locally is a lot easier and snappier than clicking through endless page re-directs from Image Search.

Multi Image Downloader is a free download for Windows systems only, and works great from a portable USB drive.
