DedupeHow to download a single photo or video from Google Photos?
Last Updated :If you want to download a single photo or video from Google Photos, there are two ways to do it. One, when the photo is open and the other by selecting it from the album. Below is the step by step process to download a single photo or video from Google Photos in both the ways:
A. When the photo is open
- Find a photo or video, then left-click to open it.
- Click the "three dots" (More options) icon at the top-right corner and select "Download" (Ctrl+D).
- When a photo is edited in Google Photos the edited copy is downloaded.
- If you want to download the original, select "Download Original" to download the unedited copy (this option is only shown when a photo is edited).
- Or simply just drag & drop the photo to a folder on the computer.
B. By selecting a photo in the grid (album)
- Select a photo or video by hovering over it and clicking the check mark in the top left corner. A blue bar appears.
- Click the "three dots" (More options) icon at the top-right corner and select "Download".
- After downloading the .zip file your browser prompts you to save the .zip file. You can also rename the zip at this time.
- Click "Save" and specify a location to download.
- Unzip the zip file.
- In Windows Explorer, right-click the zip file, click "Extract All" then "Extract".
- When unzipping is finished, you may delete the zip file.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
