anytext2images

Any blob of text → Extract images → Preview & download = Fast

Turn any blob of text into a gallery of images, then download what you want.
Paste messy HTML, logs, or random snippets containing URLs — anytext2images finds the image links, previews them, and lets you download them individually or all at once as a ZIP.

---

Why?

Because sometimes you’re buried in a wall of garbage HTML, and all you want are the damn images.

Features

• Streamlit UI – paste text and instantly see images in a clean grid
• One-click downloads – save individual images or grab everything in a ZIP
• CLI tool – extract image URLs or bulk download them without leaving the terminal
• Smart parsing – handles messy HTML, srcset attributes, and weird trailing punctuation
• Filters & safety – optional file-extension filtering, optional HEAD verification, and a per-file size cap
• Zero config – no database, no API keys, no secrets. Just works

Quick Start

# clone and install
git clone https://github.com/aiwebautomation/anytext2images.git
cd anytext2images
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# launch UI
streamlit run app.py

Open http://localhost:8501
 and paste your blob.

## CLI Usage
# extract and download images to ZIP
python cli.py -i input.txt -o images.zip

# print URLs only (no download)
python cli.py -i input.txt --print-urls

# skip extension filter (for CDN links without file extensions)
python cli.py -i input.txt --no-ext-filter


## Troubleshooting:
11k+ files staged after install: you created .venv inside the repo. Add .venv/ to .gitignore, then:
 git rm -r --cached .
 git add .
 git commit -m "fix: ignore venv"

No images found: disable filter by extension or enable HEAD verification in the sidebar (some CDNs hide extensions).

403/blocked previews: some hosts disallow hotlinking or HEAD. Toggle verification off or use CLI.
Huge downloads: raise MAX_BYTES in app.py.

## Known Limitations
Hotlinking may fail on domains that block external previews.

Some srcset URLs are device/width-specific and won’t resolve directly.

HEAD verification can be blocked; use GET or disable verification.

This is a text parser, not a crawler: it won’t find images that aren’t present in your pasted text.
