How to Web Scrape Images from HTML Using BeautifulSoup (bs4) – Any Tips or Best Practices?

20 Replies, 2075 Views

Hey! I’ve been scraping images for a while, and here’s what I’ve learned:
- Use `BeautifulSoup` for static pages.
- Use `Selenium` or `Playwright` for dynamic content.
- Always handle relative URLs with `urljoin`.

For lazy-loaded images, you can use `Selenium` to scroll the page or just inspect the network requests in your browser’s dev tools to find the direct image URLs.

Also, check out `Pillow` if you need to process or resize the images after scraping.
