If you're changing phones, looking for a new photo storage service, or want to backup your memories, you probably want to know how to export your pictures and videos from Google Photos. Plus, now that Google confirmed its free unlimited photo storage is ending, and images and videos will count against your 15GB cap, it's best to find a solution before you run out of space.
Luckily, Google already built a tool for this known as Google Takeout. So, here's a guide on how to download and export your Google Photos. Starting in June , unlimited free storage ends on Google Photos. All photos stored in Google Photos will count towards the same 15GB limit that Google offers all free account users. As you probably guessed, that 15GB will fill up fast, and you'll no longer be able to store photos or video without buying more space.
The answer to this problem is to upgrade and pay for a Google One plan to get additional storage. Google even has a space calculator that'll estimate how long you can stay free before it thinks you'll run out of storage. Alternatively, you can also download or export your photo library in Google Photos to free up space, which we'll go over. This will compress all of the images and videos contained in the album into a single zip file for you to download.
The benefit of this approach is that you can selectively download your snaps in just a couple of clicks, and keeps them organized on your hard drive. The downside? Instead, each one has to be opened and saved individually, which could prove laborious if you have a large number. That said, checking through a sizable Google Photos library could be a time-consuming task. You might instead want to wait for the arrival of the free storage management tool from Google, due in June , which should make it simpler and quicker to root out superfluous photos lurking in your library.
Ready to go? Here's how to download all your Google Photos at once. Instead, for the fastest route to a total backup, you need to use Google Takeout. This is the same tool that can be used to export all kinds of user data, as well as Keep notes, Mail messages, and your Chrome history. Head to takeout. Then scroll down the list of products until you find Google Photos. Begin by hovering over the photo you want to select, and then click the check mark in the upper left corner of the image.
This puts Google Photos into selection mode, from there you just repeat the process for the other photos you want to download. As with the bulk Takeout option, your photos will download as a ZIP archive. Getting your stuff out of Google Photos is relatively easy. The best Windows backup software.
