Filtering Downloads by File Size in Bulk Image Downloader From URL List Extension
When bulk downloading images from a webpage, not all files are created equal. Some might be high-quality assets you want, while others could be tiny icons or thumbnails. The Bulk Image Downloader From URL List Extension gives you the ability to filter by file size so you can easily discard unwanted images — without having to manually clean up afterward.
Why File Size Filtering Matters
Sites often bundle a mix of visuals: product photos, logos, navigation icons, or low-resolution previews. If you’re collecting assets for branding, research, or publishing, you likely want to avoid anything that’s under a certain threshold. Filtering by file size helps ensure you’re downloading only the images that matter — and not wasting space or time with extras.
How to Filter Images by File Size
To use the file size filter, you’ll need to follow a few key steps:
- Perform a Scan from the Side Panel
Open the Side Panel and run a scan using any of the three modes: Basic, Lazy Load, or Area Scan. The scan will collect all visible image URLs. - Click “Create Task” Button
Once you’re happy with the list of image URLs, click the “Create Task” button in the Side Panel. This sends the selected images into a new task. - Switch to the Preview Tab
Click on the Preview Tab. This tab displays a full gallery of the images pulled from the URLs — including resolution, aspect ratio, and file size data (fetched automatically by the extension). - Apply File Size Filters
At the top of the Preview Tab, you’ll find filtering options. Set the Min Size and Max Size fields (in KB) to define your desired size range. For example, setting Min to 100 and Max to 5000 will exclude anything smaller than 100 KB or larger than 5 MB. - Select and Finalize
The image grid will update in real-time to reflect your filter. You can then bulk select all filtered images and confirm the task for download — using ZIP packaging, scheduling, or queuing if needed.
Common Use Cases
- Skip low-resolution assets: Set a minimum size (e.g. 100 KB)
- Limit download volume: Cap max size to avoid overly large downloads
- Focus on production-ready visuals: Use mid-size ranges (500–3000 KB)
Pro Tip
Combine file size filtering with file type selection (JPG, PNG, etc.) and Download If conditions for advanced precision. This ensures you’re only downloading high-quality, on-brand images from your scan results.
Clean, Curated Downloads in Seconds
Instead of sorting through dozens of irrelevant files manually, let the bulk image downloader extension do the work for you. With file size filters built into the Preview Tab, you’re just a few clicks away from organized, high-quality downloads that meet your exact needs.
