Export Image URLs to Spreadsheet — Bulk Image Downloader Pro

danito

Sometimes the deliverable is the link list, not the files. A manager needs to approve sources in a shared sheet, you want to tag URLs by category before committing disk space, or a teammate only needs references for a moodboard. To export image URLs to spreadsheet apps like Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers, pull a CSV straight from the side-panel scraper without downloading a single image.

Bulk Image Downloader Pro exports URL data locally in Chrome. No images leave your machine during the export step.

Step 1: scan and filter before you export

Run a side-panel scrape on the source page—use Deep Scan for lazy-loaded grids. Narrow results with dimension filters, file-type filters, domain include/exclude, and text-in-URL search. Run URL deduplication so the sheet is not full of repeated thumbnails. Grid and table views let you eyeball obvious junk while it is still on screen.

Step 2: export CSV from scraper results

From the scraper results panel, click Export CSV to download image_export.csv. Each row includes URL, width, height, type, format, file size, aspect ratio, alt text, title, and caption—enough metadata to sort and filter in a spreadsheet without fetching files. You can also copy URLs to the clipboard when you only need a plain link column.

Step 3: validate reachability before sharing the sheet

A spreadsheet of dead links wastes review time. Paste the URL column into the 404 checker on the options page. It sends HEAD requests with GET fallback to confirm reachability—it does not validate image MIME type by itself. Copy or download the reachable set and replace dead rows before you send the sheet out. The redirect checker flattens 301/302 chains to canonical endpoints.

Step 4: review and edit in the spreadsheet

Open the CSV in your spreadsheet app. Add approval columns, tags, or notes. Delete rows you do not need. Because no images downloaded during export, you can iterate on the list quickly even when the final set will be hundreds of URLs.

Step 5: load approved URLs into a download task

When the sheet is final, paste approved URLs into a task on the options page. For a full settings round-trip—custom filenames, filters, ZIP toggle, and more—use Export Tasks to write a UTF-8 CSV with a header row, edit in a spreadsheet, then bulk CSV import (Licensed PRO). Multi-value cells use semicolons so task settings survive export and re-import. There is no automatic re-import from the 404 checker; you paste cleaned URLs yourself.

What this workflow cannot do

  • export images themselves from the CSV step—only URL metadata until you run a download task
  • guarantee every reachable URL is a photograph (404 checker confirms reachability, not content type)
  • bulk-import task CSV on Try PRO or Basic tiers (export works on all tiers; bulk import requires Licensed PRO)

Install Bulk Image Downloader Pro when URL lists need spreadsheet review before any download starts.
