Get Images From Link

The Get Images From Link node is a powerful tool for media collection and web research. It scans a specific web address (URL) and provides you with a clean list of every image it finds on that page, including their descriptions and sizes. [1, 2]

Whether you are building a product gallery, conducting a visual audit, or gathering assets for a presentation, this node automates the tedious task of “right-click, save as.”

How it works

When the workflow reaches this node, it visits the provided link in a background browser tab. It scans the page’s structure for <img> tags, high-resolution source sets, and even icons. [3, 4] By using your current browser session, it can often find images on pages where you are already logged in. [5, 6]

Setup guide

1. Identify the Link: Provide the URL of the page you want to scan. You can type this in or pull it from a previous node.

2. Apply Size Filters: To avoid cluttering your results with tiny icons or invisible tracking pixels, set a Minimum Width or Height (e.g., 200px).

3. Wait for Load: If the website uses “Lazy Loading” (where images only appear as you scroll), ensure Wait For Load is enabled to give the page time to fully render.

4. Run the Workflow: The node will output a list of image objects containing the URL, “Alt Text” (description), and dimensions.

Practical example: Product Research

Suppose you want to collect all product photos from a specific category page on an e-commerce site.

Suppose you want to collect all product photos from a specific category page on an e-commerce site.

What you configure:

• Link: The URL of the category page (e.g., https://shop.example.com/laptops).
• Filters: Set a minimum size (like 200px) to skip tiny icons.

What you get:

• Images List: A collection of found images.
• Details: For each image, you get the URL, description (alt text), and dimensions.
• Count: Total number of images found (e.g., 12).

Common settings

Setting	Purpose
Minimum Width/Height	Prevents the node from picking up small buttons, arrows, or decorative icons.
Max Images	Limits the number of results (e.g., “only give me the first 10 images”).
Include Data URLs	If enabled, this will capture the image content itself as a string of code. Use this sparingly as it can make your workflow very slow.

| | Wait For Load | Keeps the node “watching” the page until slow-loading images appear.

Use for Accessibility Audits

You can use this node to quickly find images that are missing Alt Text. Images without descriptions are difficult for visually impaired users to understand, and this node makes it easy to spot them in bulk.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Images: If you see images in your browser but the node doesn’t find them, the site might be using “Lazy Loading.” Try increasing the Timeout or ensuring Wait For Load is checked.

• Access Blocked: Some sites prevent automated tools from seeing images. Since Agentic Workflow Studio runs in your own browser, you can often bypass this by opening the website in another tab first to “wake up” your session.

• Memory Issues: Extracting hundreds of high-resolution images at once can use a lot of computer memory. If your browser feels slow, use the Max Images filter to limit the count.
