I'm not sure I understand the issue.
You want to re-host those images?
This seems like it will require a lot of manual work. Re-hosting those images and then altering the links.
For the future, use relative paths and not absolute. For example:
Relative:
/images/duck.gif
Absolute:
http://mydomain.com/images/duck.gif
This way even if you migrate to a new server or install SSL, all is good.

Hi,
I have many images which are direct links from external websites.
I want to save them in my local directory/website and change the links to my local links.
For example -
External Image - > <img src="http://externalwebsite/image1.jpg">
Save image1.jpg to my local directory -> mywebsite/images/image1.jpg
Change the Link -> <img src="images/image1.jpg">
Hope this will clarify.

Hi,
I understand that is the usual process. But is there a way to avoid this route as I already have 100s of images on my website. But I do not want to point it to external but keep them in my website directory.
I was hoping for any wordpress plugin to do that.

There is one wordpress plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-external-images/
But it was updated 3 years ago. Let me know if anyone can help with any latest plugin.
