Pixgrabber features meta-search through 7 most popular image-searching engines.
Besides, PixGrabber allows arranging image collection without visiting sites themselves. You just have to specify the URL you want the project to start from and the level of image-containing web pages nesting. Also you can download images using filters or URL masks.

Even more, PixGrabber is powerful bookmark manager and allows adding your personal comments to the current web page and bookmark it straight from the active browser window.
PixGrabber blocks ads and pop ups guided by its URLs, dimensions or by actual image placement.
