How do I save an image from the internet?

If you are looking at an image online, within your web broswer, you can usually save the image to your computer.

For Firefox:

  1. Right-click on the image
  2. You should see a menu appear as shown below - select "Save Image As..."Save Image As
  3. You will then be given a browser window where you can select a place to save the image onto your computer.Save Image As 2
  4. When you press "save" the image will be stored on your computer and you can then open it, edit it and upload it to your website.

For Internet Explorer:

  1. Right-click on the image
  2. Select "Save Picture As"
  3. Select a location on your computer to save the image
  4. Press "save"

Note: If you do not see a menu appear, or you see a warning message, when you right-click on an image then the webmaster may have disabled the right-clicking and saving of their images in this way.

Note: Unless otherwise stated it should be assumed that all images are copywrited by their creators (and are their creative and intellectual property) and are therefore not to be used without explicit consent.
