Image Crawler
Tell it what pictures you want, in plain words ("women with red hair", "sunsets over the sea", "vintage cars"), and point it at a website or a folder on your PC. It looks at every picture with an AI vision model that runs on your own graphics card and keeps only the ones that match. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Websites: opens the pages like a normal browser (scrolling so lazy pictures load), follows links on the same site up to the limits you set, and downloads the matching pictures, full size where it can find the original.
- Folders: checks the pictures in a folder (and its subfolders, if you like) and copies the matches into a new folder. Your own folder is never changed.
- A checklist you can read: your description is turned into a short checklist (what must be in the picture, what to reject). You can edit it before starting.
- Confidence for every match, a slider to hide the less certain ones, and Download shown as zip.
- Past searches are kept, so you can reopen any earlier run.
- Uses every NVIDIA card that has room for the model, so two cards check pictures about twice as fast.
