An Anki add-on to batch download pictures from Google Images.
If you’re in China and the add-on doesn’t work for you with the error message, “Connection to www.google.com timed out”, try Baidu Images - https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1024335436

Open the card browser - select a few cards - menu Edit - Add Google Images. Select “Source Field”. Select “Target Field” instead of “<ignored>”. Select how many pictures to download. (optional) Set the maximum width or height. (optional) Click “Start”.
If the source field contains cloze deletions, only clozes will be used to search for pictures.
By default, multiple pictures will be separated by a space character (” ”). It can be changed, for example, to a newline character (“<br>”) by editing the “Delimiter” option in the config window (Tools - Add-ons - … - Config).
For Anki 2.1.15
The add-on depends on mpv video player to be able to resize pictures. By default, the pictures will be downsized by height to 260 px if mpv video player can be found. On macOS it can be installed via brew.sh and on Linux it should be already installed with Anki 2.1. On Windows download mpv video player from http://mpv.io and update the PATH environment variable.
For Anki 2.1.20+
The latest version contains a built-in image resizer, i.e. there’s no need to additionally install mpv video player to be able to resize pictures, but mpv is still required to be able to resize gifs.

Does not generate images for me. I tried it on a simple card (Front: “cat” pasting to “Image” field). It says it processes image but it does not paste anything. I also tried setting it to “Overwrite” and used the code in the debug console that the author suggested to someone else.
Luckily, the Baidu add-on seems to work! But this one doesn’t for me. Comment from author The add-on works for me, but maybe Google is rolling out some changes to the web page and I’m yet to see them.
Anyway, the bes
