# Download Images

You can download images in jpeg, svg, and png formats using the Web Scraper API.

If you do that through [**Proxy Endpoint**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/integration-methods/proxy-endpoint), you can simply save the output to image extension, for example:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```shell
curl -k -x realtime.oxylabs.io:60000 -U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/assets/action-adventure.svg" >> image.svg
```

{% endcode %}

If you are using the [**Push-Pull**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/integration-methods/push-pull) or [**Realtime**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/integration-methods/realtime) integration methods, you will need to add the `content_encoding` parameter with a value of `base64`. Once you receive the results, you need to decode encoded data from `content` into bytes and save it as an image file. 

Please find an example in Python below.

```python
import base64
import json
import requests

# Your credentials.
USERNAME = ''
PASSWORD = ''

# Image URL which will be saved to file.
URL_IMAGE = 'https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/assets/action-adventure.svg'

# Realtime URL.
API_URL = f'http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries'


def dump_to_file(filename: str, data: bytes):
    with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
        file.write(data)


def main():
    parameters = {
        'source': 'universal',
        'url': URL_IMAGE,
        'content_encoding': 'base64',
    }
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=parameters)
    if response.ok:
        data = json.loads(response.text)
        content_base64 = data['results'][0]['content']
        # Decode base64 encoded data into bytes.
        content = base64.b64decode(content_base64)
        dump_to_file('out.svg', content)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
```
