How to download ALL GOOGLE PHOTOS in just a few clicks. Save your memories!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How do you download ALL of your Google Photos and Videos?
I share how to download individual photos and videos from Google Photos, as well as in bulk and by day or date... But this isn't great for downloading the entire contents of all our photos and videos from Google for backing up or saving to a different storage. If you're facing the Google Drive storage full problem, there's a way to backup your Google photos by downloading them using Google Takeout.
** IMPORTANT ** Downloading via Google Takeout seems to remove the metadata for each photo, which is stored separately in .json files.
The only alternative that might save time or save lots of ticking and clicking is to put all the photos you want to download into a single album (or number of albums).
Select the photos - maybe by clicking and selecting them by days - then click the + button to 'create album'.
Go into the massive album (using the albums tab on the left hand side of Google photos, and clicking on the album to download)
Click on the 3 dots at the top right of the screen and select 'download all'.
The album will be downloaded with the metadata original file names intact.
The metadata seems to be there but the created date and modified date is the download date for me.
Hope this helps.

Also - I should have mentioned this in the video, but the downloads separate the metadata in the properties into separate files. I don't know why because it's really unhelpful.
If you want to download and keep the properties in the file, we have to download them directly from the Google Photos site.
One way to do this a bit more quickly is to put the photos into albums and download the album one album at a time. I hear this keeps the properties intact.

Files are all over the place? one folder might have only2 or 3 pictures I dnt like this method at all😭😭
Why won't they include a "select all" option within Google Photos? Guess that would make things too easy.

This is frustrating. I have over 1k photos in Google photos. I have to manually click on each pic. It's ridiculous
Brilliant video. I went to copy photos from my Pixel 7 to my computer and found they weren't there. I had been looking at them and didn't realise they were uploaded and not physically on my phone. Downloaded straight away....thanks for a great video.
Good one Neil !!! So many KZreadrs try to explain TakeOut & they drone-on for so long BUT your KZread is clear and specific on how to do it in one short video.

That's really great to hear David, thanks for taking the time to leave this kind comment. It does strip the metadata from the photo files, so the other way to do it is to put everything you want into an album and download the album, but that takes ages. Good luck with your Google Storage and thanks again!
Thanks a lot! Spent a few hours to find it out and then found this video. 😊

Thanks for the kind comment Sarah. The Google Takeout does strip the photos of metadata (like time and date) though Another way to do it is to put the photos you want into an album and download that album - it's a bit longer but all the information is downloaded. Good luck with your Google Photos!
Great tutorial thanks! Especially nice that you took the time to have visuals to correspond with your instructions. So many people get to: "What hamburger icon??" 👍

Thanks for the kind comment Lisa, really appreciate it. Let me know if you hit any problems. It does strip out the metadata from the photos into separate files. If you'd prefer them combined, go into Google Photos and put all the photos/videos you want into massive albums and download the album. Good luck!

At last, some advice that makes sense! I'm still having issues though. I have a Motorola G7 phone with a 128gb SD card, but everything appears to have been stored internally on the 64GB memory. I have only used 36% memory, but I'm receiving the no storage message. So, I bought the additional Google storage, which didn't help. I'm unable to download, take pictures or screenshots on my phone, even though I have LOADS of memory. Plus everytime I delete a thousand photos, they just reappear. I bought an Acer Chromebook and a 2TB external harddrive. Can you please suggest how I can sort this. I'm only 40, but technology is just not my thing and it's really frustrating me, as I want to back up photos and videos of deceased loved ones. Thank you for any assistance.
Thank you so much, I am sure this really helped a ton of people, me included

Question please I have memories of photos and videos on an old device, so I backed them up using Google Photos, and I made a factory reset for the old device and left it, and I registered my account on the new device and Google Photos, but after I registered my account on the new device, these photos can I see them in the internal storage of my device, or are they in the account In-app only Do you mean that it is only stored in the company's servers?? Not after I transferred the account to the new device, they will also be in the internal storage of the device in the file manager, I mean
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OMG YOU'RE AN ANGEL OH MY GOD
After i download them on my old pc , will the quality of photos and videos will change or no ?

Does the free space option completely delete the photos or ? Does this app have any backup of the deleted images ?
Neil, I'm very grateful and am looking at all your videos. I "took Down" the google photos but when I unzipped them I discovered some pictures with the same number but with a json file with them. For example img123.jpg.json or img456.jpeg.json same with movies and HEIC. I thinking just to ignore the ones with the .json extension since they are onlu 1kb. Is this correct?
How did you manage to fix my life in less then 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi @Neilmossey Thanks for making this video. This may be a silly question, and I don't see that anyone else in the comments has asked it, but when I followed your method, Google seems to have separated all my photos and saved them in a bunch of separate takeout folders, so I have multiple folders with the same name, but each folder contains different files, some .jpg and some .json. Is there an easy way to determine that all my photos have been exported, without me manually having to go through every single folder?
I have a question, if I have a 90 GB worth of photos in google photos, wouldnt I need to set the export settings to 50 GB?
