Collect interior design reference photos
Every interior project starts as scattered references: a kitchen with the right brass hardware, a plaster tone the client keeps circling, a tile detail from a supplier page. Designers pull from listing sites, vendor catalogs, and inspiration galleries—and the friction is organizing those saves into a board the client can actually review. To download images for interior design efficiently, scrape each source once, filter junk, dedupe the same viral room reposted everywhere, and folder everything by client before you open Keynote or Canva.
Bulk Image Downloader From URL List builds mood boards locally in Chrome. Use sourced images for client presentation and concept work; respect each photographer and site’s copyright and terms.
Step 1: collect from your reference link list
When a brief includes ten inspiration URLs, paste them into Bulk URL scrape (up to 500 URLs per run with configurable delay) and review every room in one grid pass. For a single portfolio page, open the side-panel scraper and run Scan Current Page; switch to Deep Scan when more rooms lazy-load as you scroll.
Mix in your own site-visit photography via Upload Mode so vendor references and your field shots go through the same resize and watermark pipeline.
Step 2: filter for presentation-grade interiors
- minimum width keeps crisp room photos and drops tiny product thumbnails
- aspect ratio favors wide interior shots over narrow sidebar cutouts
- file type keeps photographs and skips SVG logos on index pages
Grid view lets you bulk-select only the spaces that fit the brief before anything downloads.
Step 3: dedupe rooms saved from multiple blogs
The same trending kitchen appears on a dozen design blogs and listing sites. URL deduplication clears exact repeats; the perceptual duplicate finder groups visual twins across different URLs. Keep the highest-resolution copy per space and remove the rest so the board you present is curated, not padded with near-identical angles.
Step 4: size and brand the board consistently
Client decks look sharper when every image shares a width. Enable resize while downloading with a uniform long-edge cap (for example 1600 px) and JPEG quality around 85%. Resize and convert are mutually exclusive per task—use a separate convert task if you need uniform WebP or JPEG without resizing. Output formats are JPEG, WebP, and PNG; there is no AVIF conversion output.
Add your studio mark with a PNG watermark image (the tool does not add text watermarks). Set opacity and position once, save watermark settings, and reuse across the project. Processing runs locally—unreleased client concepts never upload to a server.
Step 5: folder one board per client
- Filename Constructor tokens like
jones-kitchen-02encode client and room - Auto Folders nests downloads into per-client, per-room subfolders
- save scan filters, resize, watermark, and naming as a Saved Rule for the next project
Tier note
Basic (Free) supports URL-list downloads. Resize, convert, watermark, duplicate finder, and Auto Folders come with Try PRO or Licensed PRO.
Install the extension when mood boards should be client-ready in minutes, not an afternoon of drag-and-drop.
Handing the board to the rest of the team
A finished set is only half the job; the other half is getting it into a review without re-exporting everything by hand. Export all downloads writes a CSV you can open in a spreadsheet, which turns a Chrome task into a manifest a colleague, a contractor, or a client-side reviewer can read without installing anything. It lists what was collected rather than shipping the images themselves, so it travels well over email or a shared drive.
That matches how interiors briefs actually move. Your room-by-room folders and Filename Constructor tokens — a scheme like jones-kitchen-02 — stay legible in the export, so a reviewer can trace a file back to a space and a source. Keep a saved scan and a Saved Rule for the sites you return to each project, and the second client board starts from the same structure rather than a blank options page.
