How to effectively collect images for reference?

Hello everyone! I'm facing a dilemma: at work, I constantly need to collect tons of images for reference, but manually saving them takes up a ton of time. Are there any effective tools or techniques for automating this process? The goal is to quickly download hundreds of images. Are there browser extensions or software that lets you bulk download images from websites, filter them by size and format? In short, how can I organize this process efficiently so as not to waste half a day on it?

 

Oh, these references, the eternal problem! Manual saving? You're still drawing on papyrus. There are probably browser extensions that magically download everything. And then you'll have to sort through terabytes of junk. It's easier to hire an intern and let them click away; it's much cheaper than your struggles with software. Or, alternatively, just look at fewer references and be creative yourself!

 

Manual collection is truly ineffective. I'm skeptical of full automation, but tools save time. The simplest option is a browser extension, such as Image Downloader https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-downloader/hohnpmioogigogdedhigjpjjjonkojbk It allows you to bulk download and filter images. For more complex cases, specialized software or scripts will be required, but this will require more setup time. An extension is a good place to start.
