How can i download photos from my friends online photo gallery?

Question

My friend has put their photos up on the Kodak Gallery website, but there is no function on the site to allow you to (batch) download them.

There are 200 photos, so i cant follow each link, right click > save as because id be there forever, so im looking for other options.

To be clear, when you look at their gallery, you start at a 'thumbnail' page with all the photos in their album displayed in miniature, hyperlinking to pages with the larger versions (which i want to download). I need a program which will follow each link, and grab the photo file from the destination webpage.

I have tried looking at some Firefox extensions which do batch downloading, however i can only manage to download the link targets, which ends up saving the HTML files (minus CSS of course) which is not really what i want.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Try clicking on the first photo and holding the shift key down while you drag your mouse through all of the pics. Then right click and save all of the pics at once. Good luck...

Answer 2

If you are on Linux, wget could do the trick. There's probably a Windows version somewhere. Wait, here it is:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

It will take you a while to figure out the right command-line options, but you should be able to do what you want...

Answer 3

you will only get the thumbnails if u do that.

if this is your friend as you say, then why dont you get this person to send you the photos.

if you both have messenger live, you can open the file sharing option and he can send all the photos at once

Answer 4

im afraid i cant say ive ever heard of any software that'll do this, and if the site doesnt provide the function I cant think of any way to do it. Try googling for the software, but i cant see u finding anythin that's free

Answer 5

try using a program called snagit 8, you can capture images from webpages and save them to your computer.
