Website Image & Media Crawler — Bulk Image & Asset Scraper 🖼️ (No API)

Extract every image, video and audio file from a website. This image scraper / media extractor crawls an entire site and pulls out all media assets — together with alt text, dimensions, source page, file type and where each asset was found. Point it at one URL and it inventories the media across thousands of pages automatically. Perfect for AI training datasets, image SEO / alt-text audits, asset inventories and migrations. No login, no headless browser, no API key.

🏆 Why this image & media crawler?

11 fields per asset · thousands of pages per crawl · catches lazy-loaded, srcset, <picture> and CSS-background images (not just plain <img>) · absolute, de-duplicated URLs · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. The unofficial bulk image scraper / media-URL extractor for image datasets, SEO audits and migrations — with no API key and no browser.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🕷️ Full-site crawl — start from one URL and follow internal links across the whole domain.
• 🖼️ Every media type — <img>, srcset, <picture>, lazy-loaded data-src, CSS background images, <video> + posters, <audio>, plus og:image, twitter:image and favicons.
• 🔗 Absolute, de-duplicated URLs — clean asset URLs ready to download or analyze (toggle unique-across-crawl on/off).
• 🏷️ Rich metadata — alt text, title, width/height, loading attribute, file extension and where each asset was found (foundIn).
• 🎛️ Selective extraction — include or exclude images, video, audio and CSS backgrounds independently.
• ⚡ Fast & cheap — pure HTTP, no browser, high concurrency.
• 💾 Export anywhere — download as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull via the Apify API.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — paste one or more website URLs into Start URLs, and (optionally) set Max pages to crawl (0 = whole site) and toggle which media types to include.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor crawls internal links and streams one row per media asset into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API.

📥 Input

Give the Actor at least one entry in startUrls. Everything else has sensible defaults.

  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://shop.example.com" }],
  "maxPagesToCrawl": 0,
  "includeImages": true,
  "includeVideo": false,
  "includeAudio": false
}

Example — build an AI image-caption dataset (unique images only)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does it download the image files? No — it extracts asset URLs and metadata. You can download them from the mediaUrl list afterwards with any bulk downloader.

How do I scrape all images from a website without an API? Just paste a URL — this is a no-API, no-login bulk image scraper. It parses server-rendered HTML directly, so you don't need any website image API or credentials to extract every asset URL.

Does it capture lazy-loaded images? Yes — it reads data-src, srcset and <picture> sources in addition to plain src.

Does it render JavaScript? No — it parses server-rendered HTML for speed and low cost. Images injected purely client-side after load may not appear.

How do I extract every image URL from an entire website? Paste a start URL and set maxPagesToCrawl to 0, and the crawler follows internal links across the whole site, outputting one clean row per media asset URL.

How do I find images missing alt text for an SEO audit? Every image row includes its alt text, so after the run you filter for rows where alt is empty to get a list of image-SEO and accessibility fixes.

Can I build an image dataset for AI from a website? Yes — the bulk media-URL extractor collects every image with its alt text and dimensions, giving you captioned image-text pairs ready for AI / ML training datasets.

How do I export website images to CSV or JSON? Every run produces one row per asset, which you download as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML from the dataset, or pull via the Apify API.

Is it legal to crawl a website's media? The Actor reads only publicly served HTML and asset URLs — the same data any browser sees. You are responsible for crawling only sites you're authorized to, respecting robots and copyright, and complying with applicable terms and laws.
