Removing inlined images from Google Images Search

Supported image formats

Google Images supports images in the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and SVG.

You can also inline images as Data URIs. Data URIs provide a way to include a file, such as an image, inline by setting the src of an img element as a Base64 encoded string.
