Download Images from Google Sheets
Downloading images from Google Sheets can be straightforward if you know the right steps. For images directly placed in the sheet, select the image, hold the Shift key, right-click on the image, and choose "Save image as..." to download it. This method is particularly effective in Google Chrome. If the image is embedded within a cell, right-click on the cell, select 'Put Image Over Cells' from the Image submenu, then follow the previously mentioned steps to download the image. This adjustment allows the image to be saved directly from the sheet.

How to Make Charts in Google Sheets
To create a chart in Google Sheets, start by selecting the cells containing the data you want to visualize. Click on Insert, then select Chart. Google Sheets will automatically suggest a chart type, but you can change this by clicking on Chart type in the Chart editor and selecting your preferred chart. To customize your chart further, you can adjust the data range, chart style, and other options in the Chart editor.
Google Sheets Charts
Google Sheets offers a wide variety of chart types to suit different data visualization needs. These include line charts, area charts, column charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatter charts, and more. Each chart type has specific applications, such as tracking trends over time with line charts or comparing parts of a whole with pie charts. You can access detailed settings for each chart type through the Chart editor, allowing for customization of data ranges, colors, labels, and more.
Download Images from URL List Google Sheets
If you have a list of image URLs in Google Sheets and want to download these images to a Google Drive folder, you can use Google Apps Script. Create a script that fetches each URL, gets the image blob, and saves it to a specified folder in Drive. The script can be as follows:
'function saveImagesInDrive() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getActiveSheet();
const startrow = 2;
const column = 1;
const urls = sh.getRange(startrow,column,sh.getLastRow() - startrow + 1).getValues().flat();
const folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("folderid");
let o = urls.map((u,i)=>{
let b = UrlFetchApp.fetch(u).getBlob();
let f = folder.createFile(b);
f.setName(`file-${i}`);
return [f.getUrl()];
});
sh.getRange(startrow, column + 1, o.length).setValues(o);
}'This script will download each image to the specified folder and list the new Google Drive shareable URLs in the column next to the original URLs. Remember to replace "folderid" with the actual ID of your Google Drive folder.
