A sample code that works for me on Windows:

import requests


with open('pic1.jpg', 'wb') as handle:
response = requests.get(pic_url, stream=True)


if not response.ok:
print(response)


for block in response.iter_content(1024):
if not block:
break


handle.write(block)

import requests


img_data = requests.get(image_url).content
with open('image_name.jpg', 'wb') as handler:
handler.write(img_data)

Python code snippet to download a file from an url and save with its name

import requests


url = 'http://google.com/favicon.ico'
filename = url.split('/')[-1]
r = requests.get(url, allow_redirects=True)
open(filename, 'wb').write(r.content)

import random
import urllib.request


def download_image(url):
name = random.randrange(1,100)
fullname = str(name)+".jpg"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url,fullname)
download_image("http://site.meishij.net/r/58/25/3568808/a3568808_142682562777944.jpg")

For linux in case; you can use wget command

import os
url1 = 'YOUR_URL_WHATEVER'
os.system('wget {}'.format(url1))

Anyone who is wondering how to get the image extension then you can try split method of string on image url:

str_arr = str(img_url).split('.')
img_ext = '.' + str_arr[3] #www.bigbasket.com/patanjali-atta.jpg (jpg is after 3rd dot so)
img_data = requests.get(img_url).content
with open(img_name + img_ext, 'wb') as handler:
handler.write(img_data)

It is the simplest way to download and save the image from internet using urlib.request package.

Here, you can simply pass the image URL(from where you want to download and save the image) and directory(where you want to save the download image locally, and give the image name with .jpg or .png) Here I given "local-filename.jpg" replace with this.

Python 3

import urllib.request
imgURL = "http://site.meishij.net/r/58/25/3568808/a3568808_142682562777944.jpg"


urllib.request.urlretrieve(imgURL, "D:/abc/image/local-filename.jpg")

You can download multiple images as well if you have all the image URLs from the internet. Just pass those image URLs in for loop, and the code automatically download the images from the internet.

download and save image to directory

import requests


headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0",
"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.9"
}


img_data = requests.get(url=image_url, headers=headers).content
with open(create_dir() + "/" + 'image_name' + '.png', 'wb') as handler:
handler.write(img_data)

for creating directory

def create_dir():
# Directory
dir_ = "CountryFlags"
# Parent Directory path
parent_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
# Path
path = os.path.join(parent_dir, dir_)
os.mkdir(path)
return path

You can pick any arbitrary image from Google Images, copy the url, and use the following approach to download the image. Note that the extension isn't always included in the url, as some of the other answers seem to assume. You can automatically detect the correct extension using imghdr, which is included with Python 3.9.

import requests, imghdr


gif_url = 'https://media.tenor.com/images/eff22afc2220e9df92a7aa2f53948f9f/tenor.gif'
img_url = 'https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQwXRq7zbWry0MyqWq1Rbq12g_oL-uOoxo4Yw&usqp=CAU'
for url, save_basename in [
(gif_url, 'gif_download_test'),
(img_url, 'img_download_test')
]:
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code != 200:
raise URLError
extension = imghdr.what(file=None, h=response.content)
save_path = f"{save_basename}.{extension}"
with open(save_path, 'wb') as f:
f.write(response.content)

if you want to stick to 2 lines? :

with open(os.path.join(dir_path, url[0]), 'wb') as f:
f.write(requests.get(new_url).content)
