Description

Do not download the add-on from here as it interferes with the installation process. Follow the instructions below to receive the add-on directly after purchase.

2/15/2025 - ATTENTION: Anki has updated and requires a change to the add-on, the last one was almost 3 years ago - very proud of that it has been that stable. I'm reaching out to active users directly in advance, but please contact me at ankiimage@gmail.com to get the updated version if you are an existing user. New users will get the latest version.

  1. Purchase the add-on here: Anki Image Store (also available on my Patreon)
  2. Get emailed addon and follow readme
  3. Go to the card browser, and bulk add images from the Edit menu, like other bulk-add addons work

This is a placeholder for the ankiimage addon, since this is where I would look if I wanted an addon that could automatically download images.

UPDATES:

2/07/2020 - Well it happened. After 2.5 years of working flawlessly, Google has changed their search pages in a way that makes it much more difficult to get images. I've immediately updated the crawler so that it will still get images. Woohoo! Still working

2/12/2020 - Users have informed me the images aren't as large as they used to be. (They're still a reasonable size for language learning - 100px~). The accuracy is still the same level. I'm investigating other extreme measures of rewriting the crawler backend. I'll update here as well as directly to those who emailed me when I have something.

2/14/2020 - And we're back. Full size images. If you have any issues please use the contact form below. I don't get notifications for bad reviews, so you'll get a faster response if you use the contact form.

2/17/2020 - Confirmed add-on works through the latest version of Anki (2.1.20). It hasn't broken on any updates thus far, so please assume it will work with the latest version of Anki. If there is some issue, I will push out an update immediately.

10/24/2022 - The add-on has been made simpler to install! If you run into permission issues like "OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'image-errors-dump.json'", this is an Anki issue. Please refer to the official docs. . Or send me an email at ankiimage@gmail.com for the latest version to get fix this for this add-on.

11/19/2022 - First change requiring a user update in 5 years. The application has been recreated to make it easier to install. The application address has changed as well.

2/15/2025 - Anki has updated and requires a change to the add-on, the last one was almost 3 years ago - very proud of that it has been that stable.
