Stock Photo Site Similar Image Finder

WHAT IT DOES

This userscript helps designers and content creators find similar images across multiple stock photo sites without manually re-searching. When you're viewing a stock photo on Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images, iStock, or similar sites, the script extracts the image's title, keywords, and filename. It then generates search links to six major stock photo sites—Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images, iStock, Unsplash, and Pexels—so you can quickly see what similar images are available on each platform. It can also save the image's metadata to a local history for future reference, helping you track which images you've researched.

WHERE IT RUNS

The script works on stock photo site pages—product pages, asset details, and gallery views. It runs entirely within your browser, reading only the visible content of the current page. It does not track your browsing history, access other tabs, or send any data externally. All image metadata and search history are stored locally in your browser using GM_setValue.

HOW TO USE

After installation, open the panel by clicking the tool's icon in the BotGentz sidebar. Select which stock photo sites you want to search—choose from Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images, iStock, Unsplash, and Pexels. Your site preferences are saved automatically. Navigate to any stock photo page and click "Find similar images." The script will extract the image title, keywords, and filename, then generate search links for each selected site. Click any link to open a new tab with the search results. The panel also shows the extracted keywords and a search query. Use "Save image info" to store the metadata in your history. Click "Show saved history" to view your saved images, or "Clear history" to remove them.

THE TECHNICAL MECHANISM

This script uses DOM traversal and text extraction to gather image metadata from stock photo pages. It scans for title elements using common selectors like h1, .title, [class*="title"], and .asset-title. For keywords, it looks for .keywords, .tags, [class*="keyword"], and meta tags, then splits text by commas or newlines to create a clean keyword array. If no keywords are found, it falls back to the page title or filename. For the image URL, it searches for img elements with class patterns like .image, [class*="photo"], and [class*="asset"], extracting the src attribute. The script then constructs search URLs for each selected site: Shutterstock and Adobe use query parameters, while Getty, iStock, Unsplash, and Pexels use path-based URLs. The search query is built from the first three keywords or the title. Results are displayed in the panel with clickable buttons that open new tabs via GM_openInTab. Saved history is stored as JSON arrays with timestamps, limited to 50 entries.

THE PANEL

The panel is draggable anywhere on the screen and remembers its position between sessions. It can be collapsed to a small floating bubble to minimize distraction, and expanded again with a single click. The panel's width can be adjusted, and pressing the Escape key closes it instantly. All settings—selected sites and saved history—are persisted locally using GM_setValue, so your preferences remain intact across page reloads and browser restarts.

PLEASE NOTE

This userscript requires the free BotGentz extension to function. The script is designed for stock photo sites; it may work on other image licensing pages but is not guaranteed. The image metadata extraction relies on the current HTML structure of each site—if a site updates its UI, the script may need to be updated. The script does not access your account or API; it only reads what is visible on the page. Saved image history is stored only in your browser and is not shared or transmitted anywhere. No data from your browsing is stored or transmitted—all processing occurs entirely in your browser.
