How to Export Photos with Photos app for Mac?

Last Updated :

Photos app for Mac groups all of your photos in a large library file. Photos app does not have the "Open In" feature, which is used to open a photo in another app. You must export the photo from Photos app before opening it in another application.

If you want to export photos from Photos app, select your photo and go to "File" menu and then select "Export" option. You will see 2 options i.e "Export X photos or videos" and "Export Unmodified Original". Choose any one option and select a file type, quality, size and naming convention.

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!
