Imagetransfer.py is a Pywikibot script that copies images from one wiki to another wiki. To transfer image to Wikimedia Commons use imagecopy.py.

Usage

$ python pwb.py imagetransfer [common-arguments] pagename [-interwiki] [-tolang:xx] [-tofamily:yy] [-keepname]

or

$ python pwb.py imagetransfer [common-arguments] [-file:zz] [-interwiki] [-tolang:xx] [-tofamily:yy] [-keepname]

Arguments

-interwiki    Look for images in pages found through interwiki links.
-keepname     Keep the filename and do not verify description while replacing
-tolang:xx    Copy the image to the wiki in language xx
-tofamily:xyz Copy the image to a wiki in the family xyz 
-file:zz      Upload many files from textfile: [[Image:xx]]
                                              [[Image:yy]]
-force_if_shared For those with override rights, to override where a file exists on Commons, and is being copied to a sister wiki

If pagename is an image description page, the script offers to copy the image to the target site.

If pagename is a normal page, it will offer to copy any of the images used on that page.

If -interwiki is used, any of the images used on a page are reachable via interwiki links. (i.e. The interwiki link [[Food]] is found on the page Cake. The bot will search both the food and the cake page for images). If copying from Commons you will also need to direct to the work -site:commons:commons
