imageMailer is a combined bookmarklet and web app utility, which collects images from the web so you can easily email them to friends or colleagues straight from your iPhone/iPod Touch.
How to use it: When browsing ANY web site, simply open the imageMailer bookmarklet to automatically generate a thumbnail gallery of the images from the current page. Clicking on a thumbnail then generates an email with the image URL embedded and ready to send.

Plus, we've now added support for URLs of individual JPEG, GIF and PNG image files - ideal for gallery and photo sites which link to high-resolution images from low-resolution thumbnail pages - and a new Google auto-filter giving you the option to send hi-res originals instead of thumbnails automatically when extracting from Google's image search results.
If you'd like to suggest more filters let us know.
When received, imageMailer emails automatically provide a link to view the image online, enabling other iPhone or iPod Touch users to take advantage of their built-in pinch, zoom and rotate features.

What's more, you can now access imageMailer from your home screen with imageMailer Homescreen - a second, sister application which prompts you to enter a URL for image extraction when launched.
So if you know the address of the image you want to send - or the page it's displayed on - imageMailer Homescreen makes it even quicker to share images from the web with anyone in your contact list.
Unlike most web apps, imageMailer requires a simple script stored on your iPhone/iPod like a regular bookmark to function. This can easily be installed using either of the following methods:
iPhone/iPod (recommended): To install imageMailer directly onto your iPhone/iPod follow our easy installation guide which explains how to install the bookmarklet in a few simple steps.
Mac/PC: Alternatively, drag-and-drop the imageMailer icon at the top of this page onto the bookmarks bar of your Mac/PC (or right click on it and add to your favourites) and sync with your iPhone/iPod.

To access the imageMailer homepage after editing, open a new, blank browser window and access the bookmark as usual, or use our sister app imageMailer Homescreen selecting 'Cancel' when prompted for a URL.
FAQs
How do I use imageMailer? When browsing ANY web site, simply open the imageMailer bookmarklet to generate a gallery of the images in the current HTML page. Clicking on a thumbnail will then generate an email with the image URL embedded and ready to send.
Why do I need to edit the bookmark? Editing the bookmark address converts it to bookmarklet - a simple script which, unlike a regular web address, your browser executes to pass information about the page to imageMailer, but which cannot be bookmarked directly.
I'm trying to edit the bookmark on my iPhone/iPod. Where are the "(" and ")" keys? When editing the address field, hit the "@123" key and then SHIFT you will find "(" and ")" next to the DELETE key on the right of the screen.
Can I add imageMailer to my home screen? Yes. You can now access imageMailer using the companion web app imageMailer Homescreen and simply enter a page address for image extraction when prompted.
Can I use imageMailer on my Mac/PC? Yes. imageMailer is optimised for iPhone/iPod but can also be used with most javascript enabled browser - just in a slightly simpler form. For quick access drag and drop the imageMailer icon to your toolbar.
