Intense Competition between various search engines is not a new thing and Google has been topping the competition for a while now inspite of the best efforts from Yahoo and Bing. Google search engine has made numerous changes since It was first released few years ago. The current Google search is more advanced than all the previous versions. We can now search specific things on Google like images, videos, maps and news. Google images search is undoubtedly the best amongst all other image search engines because it gives us a number of search features like search by type, search by size, search by color and search by time. I always prefer Google images to find out best picture to put on my posts and it always meets my requirements. One of the most important feature on Google image search is that we can search custom size images like 500×300, 300×100. This feature saves a lot of time because I don’t have to manually resize the images to fit them on my blogs and articles. I have though found only one problem with Google search engine that it does not give direct link to the images. I need to open the image in new tab and only then I can download images directly. Opening new tab for different images can be very frustrating work especially at the time of low speed internet connectivity. I know that I am not the only people who suffer this problem; many of us must be having the same issue. Fortunately now we have one more search engine which is based on Google image search but it gives use some extra features like we can download our selected images directly from the main page without visiting image hosting website. Website googleimageripper.com is a really cool website to find out all types of images with direct downloading link.
You can use this images search engine in the same manner as Google images but it gives you better image download options than Google images. On the main screen you will get options to remove the broken images results and it is really a very good option because some times Google images show images in results but when we open it we get image URL which is broken. It is completely based on Google images search engine so we do not have to worry about images and other useless search results. The main interface has only a few options like Safe Mode: On/Off, Image Size, Enable image location URL and don’t show broken images. Safe Mode option is really advantageous to filter out unwanted images especially those which are unsuitable for kids. Next you have the option to select Image size, it give us an option to search images as large, medium and icon sized images. For a web developer this option is really helpful to find out icons like Facebook icons, Twitter icons, Google Plus icons and so on. When I searched for Facebook icon I got the perfect results and best icons which I was able to use during website developing.
To check images source you need to enable Show image location URL option. Once you enable it you will also get complete URL of image source and it becomes very important especially when we want to credit someone for their image. When you click on any image from the search results it will open the image in full screen mode and you can download it from there. On the same full screen mode you will also get an option to move to the next image and it is a very good feature of this search engine because you can move to the next image directly from the search engine without opening the same result again. This feature is like a slideshow wherein you have to simply press next to get the new image. At the bottom of the search results you will get option to show more results and using this you can extend your results to get some images.
To download any image on your system just right click on the image and save and then use them where you want. All these features make this search engine a better alternative than Google image search engine. It might be possible that some more improvements are made on it with time.
