Google Images

Search and scrape image results from Google Images with advanced filtering by size, type, color, and aspect ratio. Returns structured data including thumbnail URLs, full-resolution original image URLs, source attribution, and image dimensions for each result.

Key Features

  • Image metadata extraction — Get titles, source websites, thumbnails, and original high-resolution image URLs in a single request
  • Advanced filtering — Filter results by image size (large, medium, icon), type (photo, clipart, lineart, gif, face), dominant color (14 options), and aspect ratio (tall, square, wide)
  • Localization support — Target results by language (hl) and country (gl) for region-specific image search
  • Pagination — Retrieve multiple pages of results to access hundreds of images per query
  • Time-based filtering — Use the tbs parameter to find images from the past day, week, month, or year
  • Safe search — Enable or disable explicit content filtering for content-appropriate results

Common Use Cases

  • E-commerce product research — Gather product images and visual competitive intelligence across marketplaces
  • Content creation and curation — Find reference images, stock photos, and visual assets for blogs, presentations, and marketing materials
  • Brand monitoring — Track where brand logos and product images appear across the web
  • Visual dataset collection — Build image datasets for machine learning training, computer vision projects, and AI model development
  • SEO and visual search analysis — Monitor which images rank for specific queries and analyze visual SERP features
  • Market trend analysis — Identify trending visual styles, design patterns, and popular imagery in any niche
