How to download all photos from iCloud?

Last Updated :

If you are thinking of downloading all the photos on iCloud to your PC, as an additional backup, or to clear up storage space on your iCloud Account and for any other reason, you can do that from icloud.com itself. The process is pretty easy and allows you to download your iCloud photos

Here's how you can do it:
  1. Using a computer, go to iCloud.com and log in as usual with your Apple ID and Password.
  2. Once you are logged-in, you will see a screen with various iCloud Folders. Click on the Photos folder to access your Photos stored on iCloud.
  3. Once you are in iCloud Photos Folder, click on Select Photos Option.
  4. Next, select the Photos that you want to download to your computer by clicking on the Photos one by one.
  5. Once the Photos are selected, click on the Download button (next to the Cloud icon with down arrow) to download the Photos to your Computer. 
  6. You will find the downloaded images in Downloads Folder, or on the desktop in case, you had changed the file downloads location on your computer.

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!
