Scan your saved searches on stock photo sites and get notified when new photos appear. Stock Photo Scanner checks the links and search phrases you save on supported stock photo sites, and tells you when new photos appear, so you don't have to keep refreshing the pages yourself. ✨ FEATURES 📋 Paste your links or search phrases, one per line. Each line becomes a saved name that is searched on every host you turn on. 🌐 Six supported stock photo sites. Switch them on or off for everything, or per name with the ✎ edit button. 🔍 Scan everything with one click, scan a single name, or let the add-on scan on a timer and when the browser starts. 🆕 It detects even one new photo. The first scan only records what's already there, so you aren't flooded with old photos. 🔔 A toolbar badge shows the unseen count, with optional desktop notifications and a notification sound. 🖼 Thumbnails of the new photos appear under each name. Use Open, Mark seen, Open new or Mark all seen. 💾 Export and import your list. A local backup can be restored if your list is ever lost. ⌨ Press Alt+G to open the panel, or use the ⤢ button to open it in a tab. 🔁 Names that hit a network error are retried once at the end of the scan. ⚙ SETTINGS EXPLAINED 🌐 Image hosts Turn each host on or off. Click the ▸ arrow next to a host for its options: • Requests at once: how many requests to that host may run at the same time. Higher is faster but more likely to get blocked. Default 5 (one major site 1). • People only (one host): searches only for photos of the named person, using that site's own people filter. Adding a host scans only that host. Turning one off stops its scanning straight away. ⏱ Scheduling • Scan when the browser starts: runs a scan shortly after Firefox opens. • Auto-scan every (min): the full scan timer. Default 360 (6 hours). 0 = off. • Quick-scan active names every (min): a second, faster timer that only scans "active" names plus names not scanned yet. 0 = off. • Active = new photo within (days): a name counts as active if it found a new photo within this many days. Default 7. 🎯 Scan behaviour • Skip host after no results (auto-scans): if a host returns nothing for a name, skip that host for that many timer and start-up scans, then check it again. Manual scans never skip. 0 = off. • Links scanned at once: an overall limit on how many scans run at the same time across all hosts. 0 = no overall limit (only each host's own Requests at once applies). • Pages checked per link: how many result pages to check per search. • Ignore uploads older than (h): skips photos uploaded more than this many hours before the previous scan. 0 = off. • Exact-match searches: puts each search phrase in quotation marks for exact matches. Searches that already have quotes are left alone. 🔔 Notifications • Desktop notifications: show a notification when new photos are found. • Notification sound: play a sound together with the notification (there is a test button). • Notification stays (sec): how long the notification stays on screen. 0 = until dismissed. 🧰 Other • Show host icons: show the small host icons with scan status under each name. • Links: Export and Import your saved list. • Debug log: records what each scan did, for troubleshooting. 🛡 GENTLE ON THE SITES Every host has built-in pauses between requests, with longer breaks on one major site. If a site blocks the add-on (HTTP 403 or 429), the add-on backs off for a while and stops using that host for the rest of the scan, instead of hammering it. 📖 HOW IT WORKS Each search is set to sort by newest. The add-on remembers the photos it has already seen on each host and flags anything new on the next scan. 🔒 PRIVACY The add-on collects no data. It only contacts the stock photo sites you have enabled, to load the searches you saved. Your names, settings and scan history stay in your browser. This add-on is not affiliated with or endorsed by the stock photo sites it supports.
