Quick answer: Prepare the page URLs you want to scan, import them into GrabAll Premium and run Mass Scan. Review the file links found on those pages, filter the results and download the selection. The supplied list controls which pages are scanned.
Use a list of page URLs for a batch scan
A page URL points to a webpage to scan; a direct file URL points to the file itself. Prepare your list around pages containing the resources you need. GrabAll does not discover every page on a domain automatically, so include the relevant pages explicitly.
Start with a clean URL list
Remove blank lines, duplicates, fragments, tracking parameters, and obvious navigation URLs. Keep one URL per line and use full HTTPS addresses where possible.
GrabAll's free URL List Cleaner can deduplicate and sort pasted lists before they are used in a larger workflow.
- One complete URL per line
- No duplicate or irrelevant pages
- Consistent protocol and domain format
Divide large projects into logical batches
Group URLs by website, category, client, date, or asset type. A batch of related pages produces results that are easier to filter and name than one mixed list from many unrelated sources.
Begin with a small sample to confirm that the pages expose the expected files. Scale the batch only after the sample produces useful results.
- Test a small representative sample
- Group similar URLs together
- Set a practical batch size
- Record failed or redirected pages separately
Handle redirects, failures, and dynamic pages
Some URLs redirect, require authentication, return errors, or load important content only after interaction. Treat these as exceptions rather than repeatedly scanning the entire list.
If a page requires a manual session or visual confirmation, move it to an open-tab workflow. Imported scanning is strongest with stable, directly accessible pages.
Review files across many sources
Combined results can contain shared logos, repeated downloads, thumbnails, and the same document linked from several pages. Filter by type and size, then deduplicate by URL and visible metadata.
Preserve a copy of the input list and exported links before downloading. This creates a repeatable record if the batch must be checked later.
Be considerate with automated batches
Large scans create requests to websites. Keep batches reasonable, avoid unnecessary repetition, and stop if the site shows rate limits or asks you to use another access method.
Frequently asked questions
How should I format an imported URL list?
Use one complete HTTP or HTTPS URL per line, remove duplicates, and keep the list focused on pages relevant to one task.
Why test a small sample first?
A sample confirms that the page type exposes useful files and helps you choose filters before processing a larger batch.
What should I do with pages requiring interaction?
Move them to an open-tab workflow where you can load and confirm the content manually before scanning.
Does URL scanning bypass authentication?
No. It works only with pages and files available through the permitted browser workflow.
GrabAll scans the page and brings images, documents, media, and other downloadable files into one clear list, so you can choose exactly what to save.
