Extreme Picture Finder

Extreme Picture Finder can be invaluable if you need to download large amounts of pictures, audio or other multimedia from websites. The program saves you from the tedious process of saving multiple files one by one. It let's you download a whole web site worth of images, audio files and others.

It's not a large sized program. The package is almost 3 Mb in size and the installation process is fast. There's no additional stuff to be installed, like plugins or anything else.

The interface is nothing to worry about. You only need a few minutes to look around and you'll have no problems. Most of the top menu items do the same things as the buttons. Downloading something from a web site requires clicking on a button from the toolbar. Hit the "new project", type in the name of the site and click "finish". It's as simple as that, but if you want, it can be more advanced. Clicking "new project" will bring up a wizard. The interesting thing is that it's not mandatory to go through all steps. You can click the "next" button a couple of times if you want more options or you can just click "finish" at any time. It's in this wizard that you can also select the type of files you want to download, so you might want to take a look at what's behind those "next" buttons. You can go for images, audio or video files, archives, flash, executables or web pages.

The results are displayed in the larger part of the window as thumbnails or you can choose other viewing modes, like list or details. Double clicking an image will open it instantly with the programs built in picture viewer which looks a lot like Windows' Photo Viewer. All results will already be downloaded to your PC so you'd better make sure you set your destination folder from the options menu if you don't want to go searching for them.

The program also features its own picture search engine. It works the same way as the main feature. Switching from the regular projects to web search requires clicking on the designated button on top of the projects list. It's like the web search and projects features are organized in tabs, but actually they are buttons. You can search the whole web for images, using your key words and other options you may find useful. The search results will be displayed the same way as the regular projects and they will also be downloaded automatically, but in small resolution. If you want one or more images in full size, select them, then click the "download full size image" button on the toolbar.
