What is Crawler?
Crawler is a practical Chrome extension designed for seamless and efficient browsing of all images on any given website. It makes use of a well-designed UI to display images within the browser, due to technical restrictions preventing automatic download of images. The Crawler extension also allows for categorization of images by domain, includes an URL input box for easy site change, and offers performance enhancements like lazy loading for optimal user experience.

Extension summary

This extension could be used to browse all images of a website recursively. As technical limitation, we can't automatically download all images into your local file system. So we choose to provide a good UI for these images within browser. In its future version, we will add functions to export data into other formats.

Version 1.1 change list:

  1. category the images we got by its domain
  2. add URL input box so that user can change crawl site in the manager page.
  3. performance enhancement --> use lazy loading so that the image will load only when you scroll to it.
