In today's world, cameras can be found on almost every handheld device. While this
makes capturing the moment with photographs easy, it can make organizing and
keeping track of them quite difficult. One day you may take a photo with your phone
and upload it on some of the social networks like Facebook and the next day you could
take a photo with your camera and store it on your computer, or maybe photos you took
with your old camera or phone may be sitting on some old hard drive and memory card.
This could scatter your photos across different social networks and image-sharing websites
as well as being on some of your old hard drives. It is not a bad idea to store all of your
photos on one local hard drive so you can access them at any time. While you can move
photos from one hard drive to another yourself, downloading them from the internet can be tricky.
In this guide, I will show you how to download images from most popular social
networks and image-sharing services. Many of these services offer built-in tools for
downloading images, but on the others, we will need to use third-party software. These
types of software can offer their services for free or they can charge you a fee for some
extra options like the higher resolution of pictures and batch-downloading.

How to Download Images from Facebook
Facebook has built-in tools for downloading
your entire profile history. These tools will
download all your photos and albums and
put them in a .zip file. To do this you need
to go to Account Settings and click
“Download a copy of your Facebook data”.
Once your .zip file is ready for download,
Facebook will send you a notification email and all your photos will be organized in
albums just like on your Facebook profile. However, this will not include photos in
which you have been tagged by other users. For the purpose of downloading these
images I recommend a third-party program called PickNZip. This is a Web-based
program, meaning that you don’t need to install it on your computer, all it requires
is your Facebook login info. After you log in, PickNZip allows you to browse and
download all your photo albums including the ones you are tagged on. PickNZip lets
you choose between .zip and PDF file download. The only downside is that
pictures downloaded though PickNZip have half the resolution of the original photos.

from its competitors is an option to download your pictures in a more advanced way.

How to Download Images from Photobucket
The good thing about Photobucket is that it
has integrated download tool for individual
images and whole albums and it works on
the same principle. You need to go to your
picture or album and look at the lower right corner, there should be a Download link in
Media options for individual pictures and a Download Album link in Album Action options
for albums. Next, all of the images in your album will be gathered and compressed into
a .zip file. Depending on the size of your album this process might take a few minutes
but once it is done you will be able to download your compressed file.

How to Download Images from SmugMug
SmugMug is a pay only service, so it is not
wrong to say that they provide some of the
best batch-downloading options among its
competition. SmugMug lets you save .zip
files of all your galleries, with pictures in
their original resolution and for that will charge you 3$ and upwards. To download from
SmugMug you need to go to their website and visit the gallery you would like to download.
From there go to Tools option and click Download all option, this will start to make a .zip
archive of your chosen gallery and once it is done SmugMug will send you an email with a
link to your downloadable archive.

Final Words:
done in two ways, either they have integrated tools for downloading or we need to use
third-party software. Even though some of the third-party services requires payment I
think it is worth paying a little bit of money for having all your photos
in one place.Hope you have liked and enjoyed reading this post. Do share this article
