# Image Export

Web Scraper Cloud supports automated image export to `Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage`. This feature is available exclusively for `Scale` plan users. Image downloading is performed during the execution of the scraping job. As pages are processed, associated images are downloaded in parallel with data extraction.

Image downloading is performed during the execution of the scraping job. As pages are processed, associated images are downloaded in parallel with data extraction.

## Image Export Configuration

The Image Export tab will be visible when the sitemap contains at least one `Image` selector.

![Fig. 1: Image Export Tab in Web Scraper Cloud][image-export-tab-web-scraper-cloud]

## Exported Image Location

Images are exported to the same path as the data export, within an `images` subfolder. For example, if data is exported to `bucket/web-scraper/my-sitemap` in S3, images will be exported to `bucket/web-scraper/my-sitemap/images`.

## Image Columns

Each `Image` selector creates a separate column in the exported data. The column name follows the format `{image_selector_id}_stored_filename`. File names are generated using the SHA-256 hash of the image URL.

![Fig. 2: Image Export Column Name][image-export-column-name]

## Image Column Structure Based on Selector Configuration

Example image selector ID: `product_image`

* **First record only** - `product_image, product_image_stored_filename`
* **Multiple records in multiple columns** - `product_image_1, product_image_1_stored_filename, product_image_2, product_image_2_stored_filename, ...`
* **Multiple records in one column** - `product_image, product_image_stored_filename` (file names separated by newlines)
