I have a website textscloud.com
In this website i make the image with the PHP GD library. Here is a link to a demo:

In this page i allow the user to download the image on which text will pe printed. download link is like

This download.php file has a header for making the image with PHP GD Library and download the file like this 

header("Content-type: image/png");

But google didn't crawl these images. Does anyone know the solution? I can't store these image in server.

  • It's probably the `Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$filename` that causes this. – Pekka Jan 15 '13 at 14:19

Google can't index images that are not stored permanently, I'm quite sure it can't even index images without context (i.e. which are not part of a describing/linking page).

You don't mention how you are feeding the beast, so I suggest you start by providing google a site map via their webmaster toolkit. You can specifically list the images that you want crawled. Google provides good help articles to get you going.

  • i submitted the all links of images in webmaster toolkit. and nothing happend, and their help articles are suck. – Rishi Jan 15 '13 at 17:14
  • @Rishi I've found it takes a while (a week or so) to get images indexed. If you want to edit your question (or create a new one) and include a sample of the sitemap XML, someone can double-check that. – hafichuk Jan 15 '13 at 17:25
  • the problem is... what will google index if you just link to the picture? It can't guess the contents (at least I think so as of now) and there is no decription provided (no html which describes an image embedded in the same page). – Martin Müller Jan 16 '13 at 12:22

You can try to:

Send a cache header to allow caching of the image.

Rewrite the actual url to someting like: http://textscloud.com/get_img/download/VkZaU1FtUXdNVVZWVkZKT1ZWUXdPUT09.png (should match your filename header)
