Pic Extractor

Pages of pics on the web come in all shapes and sizes, but the most common is a page like this one. 10-20 thumbnails (or small pics) that link directly to the full size pics. Click on one of the flower thumbnail pics below, and your browser will go directly to the larger pic.

For a very basic article on how webpages with pics are constructed, see Pictures and Pages.

Extracting the Pics

If you go to a page like this in Nici, it can effectively extract the full size pics from the page and save them to your computer. It acts like a Pic Extractor. Because it doesn't download the thumbnail pics, or any of the banner and advert pics, it saves you time and bandwidth.

Nici works automatically. Enter the addresses of 100 pages like this one (and if you use a directory page that is quicker and easier than it sounds!) and Nici will automatically work through the pages extracting all the pics (and movies) from the pages.

You can also view the pics Nici extracts, including slideshows, full screen viewing and morph transitions.

Technical Note: Nici can extract pics from thumbnail pages that link directly to an image. It can also extract pics from thumbnails that link to a html page which include an image.

Example pics that Nici can extract:
