NEW DELHI, May 12: Google Photos users will loose the free storage they have been enjoying for the past few years by the end of this month. Google last year announced that it is ending the unlimited free photo backup on Google Photos. That means, you will not be able to use Google Photos cloud storage to backup and store unlimited “high quality” for free, after June 1, 2021. Users will have to either make do with the free 15GB cloud storage that Google provides as default, or shell out money for a Google One subscription to get cloud storage for Photos. Google is yanking the free usage tier for up to a specific resolution of photos, and now all photo uploads will count towards usage of cloud storage space. Given that it is almost time for people to start paying up for Google Photos storage, we will tell you how to download all your Google Photos to your PC or Mac, so that you don’t lose any of your precious memories as Google’s change kicks in.
Now, there are several ways to download all of your Google Photos from the Google cloud backup. Now, everyone has different kinds of libraries in terms of size, organisation, and what the user plans to do with the photos, hence, there may be different approaches that suit different people in the methods mentioned below. The most straightforward way for users is to download images from Google Photos (photos.google.com) one at a time. Now, while this is a process that will take up a lot of time, it is considered as one of the most authentic and tailored approach, in case users don’t want to download each and every image on Google Photos.
To download a photo, users need to go to photos.google.com > log in to your Google account > open an image > click the three-dot menu on the top right corner > click download. Users can also select multiple images at once and download them together. However, downloading multiple images together will compress the chosen images into a single zip file. (agencies)
