🖼️Quick Images Downloader - Bulk download images Google API (Created by Shigeඞ)

This add-on is for downloading images in batches and adding them to the cards, and quickly and automatically add images in the reviewer. Images are converted to webp, resized, and animated gifs are downloadable. Free Google Custom Search API and Google Search Engine ID are required.

It was created with reference to Batch Image downloader and the idea was inspired by Batch Download Pictures From Google Images, and Paste Images As WebP.

7. Images can be specified in width pixels only, height is not created.

[ Q & A ]

• Q . Why need API and ID?
  To stabilize searches and make add-ons easier to manage (Google prohibits scraping, so add-ons are more fragile). If you use the paid API, you can add images to 10,000 notes and 100,000 images at once in a day🦾 If you make your own cards, I think 100 notes per day(Free API) is sufficient.

• Q . Can't I save as Png and Jpeg?
  It's annoying so I didn't make it :-P This add-on resizes the image when converting it to webp.

• Q . Why don't Gifs resize?
  For showing animated gifs.

• Q . Why Webp?
  To reduce image size. Webp is super light, amazing, genius.

• Q .Why don't gifs convert to webp?
  I tried converting it but the size increased. Not genius.

• Q . Why isn't AVIF better than Webp?
  Not sure if AVIF works cross platform. Webp has been tested.

• Q . Is there a shortcut key?
  I tried to make it but it didn't work well so it became a bother :-P
