![]() Some services make this task easier than others, but after finding out on Twitter that numerous readers of ours have wanted to get a mass download of their photos stored online, we figured it would be useful to give a brief how-to for Picasa and Flickr, two of the most popular photo sharing services. Thanks to Google's Data Liberation Front, getting a big dump of your photos out of Picasa Web Albums is a laughably easy task. ![]() If you use Picasa software on the desktop, just pull down the File menu to Import from Picasa Web Albums, and in the words of Steve Jobs: boom. ![]() You can still access those photos through the Web, though, either individually or on a per-album basis. But if you want to download them an album at a time, you'll still need Picasa on the desktop (go to the Download menu from your album and choose Download to Picasa). Flickrįor the six years I have been a member of Flickr, I have been under the impression that paying users (that is, subscribers to Flickr Pro) were able to download all of their own photos from the service in case of an emergency. That is apparently not the case and has never been. Although we would really like for Flickr to offer a more consolidated way to do this, there are still a handful of third-party options that make life easier.What this means for users of Picasa Web Albums Of course, if you're logged into Flicker on the Web, you can always download your photos one by one by clicking on the "All Sizes" button above each photo and downloading the high-res version to your desktop. Per a Google announcement, "We will be creating a new place for you to access your Picasa Web Albums data. That way, you will still be able to view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums, you just won’t be able to create, organize or edit albums (you would now do this in Google Photos)." This "new place" is an Archive created by Google that will allow links to these albums to still work. Google stated, " If you have photos or videos in a Picasa Web Album today, the easiest way to still access, modify and share most of that content is to log in to Google Photos, and all your photos and videos will already be there." Most of your photos and videos will still be available at Google Photos.
