A useful starting point
The quick answer
- Archive the pages that contain your images.
- Extract the ZIP and inspect the assets folder.
- Use the manifest to identify sources and review missing files.
Define what “all images” means
A site may contain thumbnails, responsive versions, CSS backgrounds and full-size originals. Some galleries fetch additional images after a click or scroll. A public crawl reaches the references exposed in the files it reads; your page limit also affects which references it discovers.
For your own media library, an owner export is a useful companion to a page archive. It can provide original uploads even when a page shows a resized version. For someone else’s material, use the images under the permissions that apply to them.
Save a representative sample
Use Zipasite with a small page limit and a starting page that contains the images you care about. The homepage also joins the crawl. After the sample finishes, compare several saved pages with the original while you still have access to it.
Look at both a thumbnail and the larger view. If opening a gallery triggers additional content, include that behavior in your review. The JavaScript guide explains why a visible image can depend on more than the initial page response.
Find images in the archive
Extract the ZIP, open the domain folder and inspect assets/. This folder also contains stylesheets, fonts and other supporting files. In your file manager, sort by kind or search for image extensions such as .jpg, .png, .webp, .gif and .svg.
Use manifest.json to match a saved filename to its original URL. The hash in a saved filename helps distinguish different addresses. Two visually identical files can represent different URLs or sizes, so review dimensions and source references before choosing one.
Create a separate image collection
Copy the selected images into a new working folder and leave the archive together. Keep a short source list with the original page, image URL, download date and any relevant licence or permission. This gives a designer or editor the context they need.
- Check the images at the size you intend to use.
- Review missing-file notes before expanding the crawl.
- Keep responsive variants only where useful.
- Preserve the complete archive for reference.
Common questions
Does Zipasite create an images-only ZIP?
Zipasite creates a website archive containing pages and supporting files. Select the images you need from the extracted assets folder.
Does it include original-resolution photos?
The saved references determine the versions collected. Use the owner’s media export when your task requires the original uploads.
