Bulk Export pictures from excel cells file using VBA - vba

Question

I have two columns in excel sheet.
Cells in Column A has image names and Cells in Column B has image.
I am looking for a VBA solution to export images one by one to a folder with given file name in same rows.

Answer 1

I think I may have helped you with a very similar question a few days ago. This is how you import images.
Sub InsertPics()
Dim fPath As String, fName As String
Dim r As Range, rng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
fPath = "C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\"
Set rng = Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
i = 1
For Each r In rng
fName = Dir(fPath)
Do While fName <> ""
If fName = r.Value Then
With ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(fPath & fName)
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
Set px = .ShapeRange
If .ShapeRange.Width > Rows(i).Columns(2).Width Then .ShapeRange.Width = Columns(2).Width
With Cells(i, 2)
px.Top = .Top
px.Left = .Left
.RowHeight = px.Height
End With
End With
End If
fName = Dir
Loop
i = i + 1
Next r
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
' Note: you need the file extension, such as ',jpg', or whatever you are using, so you can match on that.
This is how you move images (or any kind of files)
Copy or Move one file
For one file you can use the VBA Name and FileCopy function and for entire folders or a lot of files use the other macro example's on this page.
Sub Copy_One_File()
FileCopy "C:\Users\Ron\SourceFolder\Test.xls", "C:\Users\Ron\DestFolder\Test.xls"
End Sub
Sub Move_Rename_One_File()
'You can change the path and file name
Name "C:\Users\Ron\SourceFolder\Test.xls" As "C:\Users\Ron\DestFolder\TestNew.xls"
End Sub
Copy or move more files or complete folders
Note: Read the commented code lines in the code
Sub Copy_Folder()
'This example copy all files and subfolders from FromPath to ToPath.
'Note: If ToPath already exist it will overwrite existing files in this folder
'if ToPath not exist it will be made for you.

Dim ToPath As String
FromPath = "C:\Users\Ron\Data" '<< Change
ToPath = "C:\Users\Ron\Test" '<< Change

'you can create a unique folder with a Date/Time stamp.

If Right(FromPath, 1) = "\" Then
FromPath = Left(FromPath, Len(FromPath) - 1)

End If
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
