What it does
Find images on the web and save them locally. Use when: find an image, image search, stock photo, picture of, download an image, or need a visual.
Image Search
When to use
Finding a picture of something, gathering reference images, or fetching a usable visual for a document, page, or deck.
Setup
None, web research plus local download. Fail loud when the network policy denies the search or fetch.
Workflow
- Search with image-oriented queries (subject +
photo,image, orstock). - Shortlist with source page URLs and stated licenses; prefer openly licensed images when the use is publication.
- Download only the chosen images (
curl -L -o file) and verify each file opens before reporting its path. - Report path, dimensions, source, and license for every saved image.
Non-goals
- Do not hotlink in place of downloading when a local copy was asked for.
- Do not strip watermarks or launder rights-managed images.
- Do not download bulk image sets unprompted.
