Note that if you’re on desktop, you can download both individual as well as multiple photos at once. However, on mobile, you can only download one photo at a time.

Download All Photos and Videos From Google Photos

If you want to make a backup of all your photos and videos stored on Google Photos, use Google’s Takeout service to download all your files to your device at once.

To use this method, first, launch a web browser on your device and open the Google Takeout site. Sign in to your account if required.

After signing in, you will see a list of services from where you can download data to your device. Here, deselect all these services by clicking “Deselect All.”

Scroll down the services page and find “Google Photos.” Then enable this service by checking the box next to it.

Scroll down the page to the bottom and click “Next Step.”

On the following page, click the “Delivery Method” drop-down menu and choose “Send Download Link via Email.” This way you’ll get a link to download your Google Photos archive.

In the “Frequency” section, choose “Export Once.” Click the “File Type” drop-down menu and choose “ZIP.” Then click the “Size” drop-down menu and select “2 GB.”

Finally, at the bottom of the page, click “Create Export.”

Google Takeout will start building a ZIP file out of all your pictures and videos stored in Google Photos. Once this file is ready, you’ll receive an email with a link to download the file.

And that’s how you make all your photos and videos available locally on your desktop and mobile phones. Enjoy easy and quick access to your content!
