zeroz-lab pngimg-download
Search and download free transparent PNG images from pngimg.com.
How It Works
pngimg.com organizes images by category. The script uses the search API:
- Search endpoint:
https://pngimg.com/search_image/?search_image={keyword} - Result images are extracted from
/uploads/...paths on the search results page
Usage
Search for images
Browse a category page to find available images:
bash "$(dirname "$0")/download.sh" search <keyword>
This fetches the category page and lists available PNG images with their download URLs.
Download images
Download a specific image or multiple images from a category:
# Download first N images from a category
bash "$(dirname "$0")/download.sh" download <keyword> [count] [output_dir]
Parameters:
keyword(required): The image category to search (e.g., cat, apple, car)count(optional): Number of images to download (default: 1)output_dir(optional): Output directory (default: current directory)
Examples
# Search for cat images
bash "$(dirname "$0")/download.sh" search cat
# Download 3 cat images to current directory
bash "$(dirname "$0")/download.sh" download cat 3
# Download 5 apple images to ./assets/
bash "$(dirname "$0")/download.sh" download apple 5 ./assets/
