Filter Scraped Images by Dimensions and Aspect Ratio

Why dimension filters matter

A fresh scan almost always pulls in more than you want. Alongside the real photos you get icons, sprites, spacer images, and tiny UI graphics — none of which you intend to download. Filtering by size is the fastest way to get rid of them. In Bulk Image Downloader From URL List, the dimension filters in the Filters tab let you set a size floor and ceiling so only images in the range you care about survive.

The key thing to understand is that filters run on your current collection. There is no re-scrape — you are narrowing the images you already have, which means you can experiment freely and reset if you overshoot.

Setting min and max width and height

Open the Filters tab and set minimum and maximum values for width and height. A minimum width and height knocks out the small stuff — icons and thumbnails that fall below your threshold. A maximum is useful when you specifically want to avoid oversized images. Together they define a window, and only images that fit inside it remain after you apply.

If you do not want to type exact numbers, the presets do it for you. With one click you can jump to a size band:

• Thumb — the smallest band, for tiny images.
• Small — modest sizes.
• Med — mid-range images.
• Large — bigger content.
• XL — the largest band.

Presets are the quick path when you just want “big images only” without fiddling with exact pixel counts. Tap one and the dimension fields fill in for you.

Filtering by aspect ratio

Size is not the only shape that matters. The aspect ratio filter lets you keep only images of a particular proportion, which is handy when you need a consistent look or a specific orientation:

• Square — equal width and height.
• Landscape — wider than tall.
• Portrait — taller than wide.
• Custom — set your own minimum-to-maximum ratio range for anything in between.

The custom range is the escape hatch for cases the presets do not cover — say you want near-square images but with a little tolerance, or a specific wide format. Define the ratio range and the filter does the rest.

Applying and adjusting

• Open the Filters tab and set your dimension range, or tap a preset.
• Choose an aspect ratio, or set a custom ratio range.
• Hit Apply Filters — the grid shrinks to matches.
• Check the summary strip above the results to see what is active, and the Filters tab badge for the count.
• Overshot? Use Clear All to reset, then refine and apply again.

Where it fits

Dimension and aspect-ratio filtering is your first line of defense against junk. Run it before deduplication and before you send anything to a download task, so you are only deduping and saving images worth keeping. Because filters work on the collection you already have, you can layer them — dimensions plus ratio plus the other filter categories — until the grid holds exactly the set you want. Nail the list first; the download is the easy part.
