Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: red bicycle in Search queries. Each start is one run.
Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Type a search phrase and get the Google Images results as a table: direct image URL, width and height, thumbnail, title, source page and domain, in Google's order. No login and no API key. A run with the prefilled query red bicycle and 20 images takes about a minute and costs about $0.06 on the Free plan.

Searches Google Images for each phrase in queries, in the country and language you choose.
Applies the Google filters you set: SafeSearch, size, type, color, time period and usage rights.
Reads up to 3 Google result pages per phrase. One page has about 100 images, so Google gives about 300 images per phrase at most.
Removes repeated images (the same image URL) inside one phrase and numbers the rest 1, 2, 3… in Google's order.
Saves one Dataset row per image and stops a phrase when it has maxImages images or when Google has no more.

Good for

Build an image dataset for machine learning: many phrases, up to about 300 image links each, with sizes to filter small images.
SEO: see which pages and domains show up in Google Images for your keywords, and at which position.
Design and e-commerce: collect visual references, or check where your product photos appear.

Not a good fit

It does not download or store images. You get links; the image files stay on the source sites and can disappear.
It does not give image licences. The usageRights filter is Google's label, not a licence. Check the rights on the source page before you use an image.
About 300 images per phrase at most, because Google shows no more. For more images, use more phrases (for example red bicycle vintage, red bicycle kids).
No reverse image search (search by picture) and no Google Lens.
Google results change over time and between runs. Two runs of the same phrase can differ by about 10% of images.

Price

Pay per event: you pay for each result the tool saves, plus a small start fee for each run. The price includes Apify platform costs. Apify bills you, not us. Prices below are for the Apify free plan.

What you pay for	Price	When
Start fee	$0.005	Charged once per run. This tool uses 1 GB of memory or less by default; more memory costs more.
Google result page	$0.01	One Google Images result page read (about 100 images), also when Google has no images for the query. Pages that could not be read are free.
Image	$0.002 (from $0.0014 on paid Apify plans)	One saved image row with the image URL, size and source page.

Examples

One result: about $0.007.
1,000 results: about $2.00.
Every day 100 results, for 30 days: about $6.15 a month.

Free to try: the Apify free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. That is enough for about 2,400 results.

Questions

Does it download the image files?

No. It saves image links. You can download them later with your own tool.

Can I use the images for free?

Not always. The tool gives links, not a licence. Check the rights on the source page.

Why do two runs give different images?

Google changes results over time. In tests about 10% of images changed between runs.

How many phrases can I search at once?

From 1 to 100 phrases per run, with up to 300 images each.

Do I need a Google account or an API key?

No. The Actor reads public Google Images results. No login and no key.

Can I get more than 300 images for one phrase?

No, Google does not show more. Use several similar phrases; repeated images are removed only inside one phrase, so check imageUrl across phrases yourself.

Details

Step by step on Apify

Open the Input tab.
Keep the prefilled phrase red bicycle in Search queries (queries), or type your own, one per line.
Keep Images per query (maxImages) at 20, or choose 1–300.
Click Start.
Open the Output tab and look at the Images view: a preview, the title, the image URL, the size and the source page for each image.

Use cases

Task	Input	You get	Key fields	Next step
ML image dataset	many `queries`, `maxImages` 300, `size` `large`	image row	`imageUrl`, `width`, `height`, `query`	download the URLs with your own tool, export CSV/JSON
SEO in Google Images	your keywords, `countryCode`	image row	`position`, `sourceDomain`, `sourcePageUrl`	schedule weekly, compare positions in a sheet
Visual references	a few phrases, `type`, `color`	image row	`thumbnailUrl`, `imageUrl`, `sourcePageUrl`	open the Images view, export to Google Sheets

Tips for better results

Use the size filter to skip small images.
Use several similar phrases if you need more than 300 images.
Check the usage rights on the source page before you reuse an image.

Limits and good to know

1–100 search phrases per run, 1–300 images per phrase. Google shows about 280–295 unique images per phrase, so a phrase can end with fewer than you asked for (status exhausted)
Measured on the cloud (256 MB): 20 images ≈ 45–70 s; 10 phrases × 100 images ≈ 2–3 min; 30 phrases × 300 ≈ 11 min; 100 phrases × 300 (28,568 images) ≈ 34 min
The default timeout is 1 hour, which fits the largest input. Memory is fixed at 256 MB; peak use was about 80 MB
Each Google page gets up to 3 attempts and up to 120 seconds. A phrase whose pages keep failing gets status error; you are not charged for failed pages
If Google cannot be read on the first phrase, the run stops there and does not start the other phrases (status skipped). Later in a run, 3 failed pages in a row also stop new phrases
The Actor saves image links, not image files

    "queries": [
        "red bicycle"
    ],
    "maxImages": 20
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~google-images-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
