How to Download Photos from Flickr

Photographers love Flickr for its dynamic social platform with a wide array of photo-sharing options. With its vast number of features, it can be a bit overwhelming to figure out how to complete even basic tasks like downloading photos. Fortunately, downloading images from Flickr is quite simple when you know a few helpful tricks. To do so, you'll need to use a computer, as the mobile app doesn't provide these features.

Log into your Flickr account. Open the Flickr website in your web browser and log in using your username and password.

Choose the photos you want to download. The images will be available in two places:

• Click on “Camera Roll” to view all of your photos. When you click on an image, it will be added to the download queue at the bottom of the screen. To add more images to the queue, click “Select All” next to the date when the photos were added.
• If you're using Flickr albums to store your images and want to download an entire album, click on “Albums,” then select the album you'd like to download.

Click on “Download” at the bottom of the screen. The images you added to the queue will begin downloading. A different notification will appear depending on the number of images you selected:

• If you select a single image, the notification will say “Download 1 photo.” Click on the notification to choose the location on your computer where you'd like to save the file. The download will start.
• If you select multiple images (or the entire album), the notification will say “Download zip.” Click on the notification to create a single zip file, then choose the folder to save it in. After the download is complete, open the zip file.
• On Windows, double-click the zip file and click “Extract” to unzip the images.
• On Mac, users can double-click the zip file to extract the images to the current folder.

Open the Flickr image you wish to download. Not all users allow their photos to be downloaded. If you see a downward arrow in the lower right corner of the photo, that means the image is available for download.

Click the downward arrow to view the available image size options. A short list of available sizes for download will appear. If you'd like to see more options, click “View all sizes.”

• Higher resolution means a larger image file.
• If no larger resolution is available, it could be because the image is originally small, or the owner has chosen not to share all available sizes.

Nhấp chọn một kích thước ảnh và kích vào liên kết tải xuống. Liên kết tải xuống sẽ có nội dung đại loại như “Download the Large 1024 size of this photo” (Tải kích thước lớn 1024 của ảnh này), tuy nhiên nội dung cụ thể còn phụ thuộc vào kích thước ảnh mà bạn chọn.

Chọn vị trí lưu tập tin. Chọn thư mục nào đó rồi nhấp vào “Save” (Lưu) để tải ảnh.

Cài đặt Flickr Downloadr. Flickr Downloadr là ứng dụng đáng tin cậy cho phép bạn tìm kiếm và tải ảnh trên Flickr về. Ứng dụng chạy được trên hệ điều hành Mac, Windows và Linux, nhưng bạn cần có trình duyệt Google Chrome.

• Mở Chrome Web Store và tìm Flickr Downloadr.
• Nhấp vào “Add to Chrome” (Thêm vào Chrome) sau đó xác nhận bằng cách nhấp vào “Add app” (Thêm ứng dụng).

Chạy Flickr Downloader trên Chrome. Trên thanh địa chỉ của Chrome, bạn gõ chrome://apps vào rồi nhấn ↵ Enter. Nhấp vào biểu tượng Flickr Downloadr.

Click the home icon to begin your search. In the search field, type a keyword, topic, Flickr user account, or group name. Click the magnifying glass icon to start the search.

Select the photos you want to download. If you searched for users or groups, click on “People” or “Groups” at the top of the app to view results. If you searched by keyword/topic, stay on the “Photos” tab and browse through the results.

• Click any image to add it to the download queue. If you change your mind, click the image again to remove it.
• To select all the images you’ve viewed in the search results, click the square icon below the images.

Click the arrow icon to begin downloading. Choose the file size at the bottom of the screen (“Original” is the highest quality available), then click “Choose Folder” to select where to save it. Click “OK,” then click the arrow to start the download.

• Each image will be downloaded individually, so you don’t need to unzip any files.
• If the user hasn’t enabled the original size for you to download, Flickr Downloadr will automatically find and download the best quality image available.

• Using someone else's images for commercial purposes is illegal unless the image is licensed for public use. You should only use images that have a Creative Commons license. To check if an image is public domain, open the image on Flickr, read the certification notice below the date the photo was taken, and click the link to learn more about the type of certification.
