Handling Image Extraction on Infinite Scrolling Sites with Bulk Image Downloader From URL List Extension

Sites that use infinite scrolling can be a nightmare for traditional downloaders. Images load dynamically as you scroll, and if a tool only reads what’s in the initial DOM, you’ll miss a majority of the content. The Bulk Image Downloader From URL List Extension solves this challenge with intelligent scanning that mimics human behavior — making it ideal for extracting from feeds, galleries, social media platforms, and eCommerce pages.

Why Infinite Scroll Requires a Smarter Approach

Infinite scrolling pages don’t load all images upfront. Instead, new content appears only as the user scrolls. This saves bandwidth but creates a challenge: unless you scroll through the entire page, many images won’t exist in the DOM at all. Traditional downloaders can’t access what hasn’t been rendered yet.

How the Extension Deals with This

Using the Side Panel, you can select the Lazy Load Scan mode — designed specifically for pages that load content on scroll. Here’s how it works:

Automated Scrolling: The extension programmatically scrolls the page in steps, simulating how a user would explore the page.
Timed DOM Refreshes: At each scroll stop, the extension pauses, lets new images load, and then rescans the DOM for any new additions.
Smart Cleanup: Duplicate links and base64 noise are filtered out. Only valid images are kept for preview or task creation.

This means you can walk away while the page scrolls and builds a comprehensive image list in the background — no need for manual dragging or reloading.

Step-by-Step Workflow

Open the webpage that uses infinite scroll.
Launch the extension’s Side Panel.
Select Lazy Load Scan from the scan type dropdown.
Click “Start Scan” — the page will scroll automatically.
After the scan completes, preview all captured images and select which ones to download.

Tips for Best Results

Let the full scroll complete before pushing results to a task
If images are injected slowly, increase scan delay in the settings
Use the Preview Tab to remove ad banners or low-quality thumbnails
Combine this with filename rules and ZIP packaging for organized exports
