| 1 | +# Image Export |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +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. |

| 5 | +## Image Export Configuration |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The Image Export tab will be visible when the sitemap contains at least one `Image` selector. |

| 11 | +## Exported Image Location |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +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`. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Image Columns |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +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. |

| 21 | +## Image Column Structure Based on Selector Configuration |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Example image selector ID: `product_image` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +* **First record only** - `product_image, product_image_stored_filename` |
| 26 | +* **Multiple records in multiple columns** - `product_image_1, product_image_1_stored_filename, product_image_2, product_image_2_stored_filename, ...` |
| 27 | +* **Multiple records in one column** - `product_image, product_image_stored_filename` (file names separated by newlines) |
