Convert image url to actual image in excel
Hi Michael,
No formula can help in this regard!
You need a VBA code or a third-party add-in to view these images.

Hope that helps

Hi rsinghal2019,
It seems that the links in the file aren't valid when you open them in the browser!
Therefore, I don't think that the solution is applicable to them.

Hi this code is very helpful thank you
I was wondering if there is a way to actually download the images?
if i am understanding this the images we are seeing are just being generated from the link but are not hard files on the computer?
Thanks

Hi,
After you run the code, these pictures get saved locally in the workbook.
If you want to extract them into a folder outside Excel, the trick is to save the workbook as a Webpage (*htm; *html) using the Save As dialog box.
After then, go to the webpage folder and find them inside it.
