Thumb Grabber Software: Grab pictures from thumbnail galleries and save them to your computer.
A thumbnail is defined, according to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as CONCISE, BRIEF, a thumbnail sketch.
Since the beginning of the internet, thumbnails have become a popular way to present a series of pictures.
A single webpage is constructed which contains 5,10 or 20 thumbnail pictures. This allows the user to get an overview of all the pictures before deciding which ones they want to look more closely at. The thumbnail images are then hyperlinked to the full size picture, so that clicking on the thumbnail takes you to the full size picture.
These pages are often called Thumbnail gallery pages.
If you want to download all the pictures from a thumbnail gallery, a quicker way than manually clicking on all the thumbnails is to use Thumbnail Gallery Grabber software like Nici.
Nici automates the grabbing of all the pictures behind the thumbnails. Simply enter the address of the webpage (like this one) and Nici will grab all the pictures and save them to your computer for viewing whenever you want.
Most of the thumbnail galleries on the web are constructed very simply. A page of thumbnails that link directly to the full size pictures. For example, click on the first thumbnail below, and your browser will take you to the full size picture with "http://www.nicisoft.com/images/ex/thumbnail-grabber/bridge1.jpg" in the address bar.
A less common alternative is for the thumbnails to link to their own webpages that contain the picture embedded in them. An example of this can be found in the Pages and Pictures article under the screenshot thumbnail .
Nici can easily grab the pictures behind the thumbnails for both types of thumbnail galleries.
