Welcome folks today in this post we will be making a google search engine image downloader in tkinter using python. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to install the following library using the pip command as shown below

pip install tkinter

After installing make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

import requests
import shutil
from lxml import html
from os import path
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askdirectory
from functools import partial


def download(search_key: StringVar, directory: StringVar, images_number: StringVar):
    search_key = "+".join(search_key.get().split(" "))
    directory = directory.get()
    images_number = int(images_number.get())

    if len(search_key) == 0 or not path.isdir(directory):
        return

    print(f"Keyword : {search_key}, Directory : {directory}, Images number : {images_number}")

    response = requests.get(
        "https://www.google.fr/search?q=" + search_key + "&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiw_-zyzfLsAhVNYBoKHZa5CJUQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=dog&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQA1AAWABgoxhoAHAAeACAAQCIAQCSAQCYAQCqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZw&sclient=img&ei=4ranX7CGJc3AaZbzoqgJ&bih=610&biw=1280")
    tree = html.fromstring(response.content)
    url_list = list(map(lambda x: x.get("src"), tree.xpath("//img")))
    for i in range(1, min([len(url_list), images_number + 1])):
        image_url = url_list[i]
        filename = path.join(directory, r"image_" + search_key + str(i) + ".jpg")

        r = requests.get(image_url, stream=True)

        if r.status_code == 200:
            r.raw.decode_content = True
            with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
                shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, f)

            print('Image sucessfully Downloaded: ', filename)
        else:
            print('Image Couldn\'t be retreived')


def ask_directory():
    directory = askdirectory()
    if len(directory) > 0:
        directory_var.set(directory)


window = Tk()
window.geometry("300x200")
window.title("Images downloader")

search_key_var = StringVar(value="")
directory_var = StringVar(value=path.expanduser("~\\Desktop"))
images_number_var = StringVar(value="")


Label(window, text="Directory :").pack()
Entry(window, textvariable=directory_var).pack(fill=X)
Button(window, text="Select directory", command=ask_directory).pack()

Label(window, text="Number of images :").pack()
Spinbox(window, state="readonly", from_=1, to=30, textvariable=images_number_var).pack()

Label(window, text="Search keyword :").pack()
Entry(window, textvariable=search_key_var).pack(fill=X)

Button(window, text="Download", command=partial(download, search_key_var, directory_var, images_number_var)).pack()


window.mainloop()

And now if you execute the above script by typing the below command as shown below

python app.py

As you can see all the images that you mentioned inside the gui are successfully downloaded
