ImagesReady

SaaS tool for extracting and downloading all images from any website URL — bulk download, format conversion, ZIP packaging, and DMCA workflow.

Designers, researchers, and content teams regularly need to pull every image from a webpage — moodboards, archive work, competitive research, asset migration. Manual right-click downloading is tedious and misses lazy-loaded, srcset, CSS-background, and JavaScript-injected images. Existing tools either miss content or violate site terms.

What I owned

Building the entire stack: Next.js 16 App Router for the public site (with sitemap, robots, SEO landing pages including a how-to-download-images-from-website hub), Playwright for headless extraction (handles lazy-loaded, srcset, CSS background, and JS-injected images), Tiptap for rich-text DMCA submissions, jszip and archiver for output bundling, cheerio for HTML parsing fallback, Prisma 6 over Postgres for extraction history and DMCA case management.

Constraints

  • Capture all image sources: img src, srcset, picture, CSS background, JS-injected
  • Respect robots.txt and rate-limit per target host
  • DMCA workflow must be defensible — structured submissions, response logging
  • Public SEO surface — sitemap, robots, landing pages — for organic acquisition

Process

  1. 01

    Extraction engine

    Playwright session that scrolls, waits for lazy load, then walks the DOM for every image source. Cheerio fallback for non-JS pages.

  2. 02

    Format pipeline

    Optional WebP/PNG/JPEG conversion via sharp, metadata preservation, file naming.

  3. 03

    Output packaging

    ZIP via jszip or streaming archiver for large jobs.

  4. 04

    Public SEO surface

    Long-form how-to landing pages (e.g. /how-to-download-images-from-website), sitemap.ts, robots.ts.

  5. 05

    DMCA workflow

    Structured Tiptap-based submission form, case tracking, response logging.

Approach

Image extraction looks easy until you account for srcset, picture elements, CSS backgrounds, and JS-injected images. Building on Playwright (rather than just cheerio) was the call that made the product actually complete. Pairing the tool itself with a public SEO surface from day one — proper sitemap, robots, long-form how-to pages — sets up organic acquisition before launch.

Deliverables

  • Next.js 16 SaaS frontend with public marketing surface
  • Playwright-based extraction engine handling all image sources
  • Format conversion and ZIP packaging
  • Tools and extract pages for paste-and-go workflows
  • DMCA submission and case-management system
  • SEO landing pages for organic acquisition
  • Prisma 6 + Postgres data layer for jobs and DMCA cases

Outcomes

  • Extraction engine catches all image sources including lazy-loaded and JS-injected
  • DMCA workflow defensible with full submission and response audit trail
  • Public SEO surface in place from day one — sitemap, robots, landing pages
  • Format conversion pipeline supports WebP, PNG, JPEG with metadata preserved
