Blober - How to Download All Google Photos Without Google Takeout

Google Photos Does Not Have a "Download All" Button

If you have 10,000 or 50,000 photos in Google Photos and you want them on your computer, Google gives you two options:

  1. Select photos manually in the web interface. You can select up to 500 at a time, click download, and receive a zip file. Then repeat until you have covered your entire library.
  2. Use Google Takeout to request an export of your entire library. Google will prepare zip archives and email you a download link. This process can take hours or even days depending on library size.

Neither option lets you browse your library, pick a destination, and transfer everything in one step. There is no sync, no resume, and no way to send files directly to another cloud provider.


Blober Supports Google Photos For:

  • Anyone with a large Google Photos library who wants a local backup
  • Users leaving Google Photos for Dropbox, iCloud, or another service
  • Parents and families with years of photos who want a second copy on a hard drive
  • Photographers who used Google Photos as a sync target and need to migrate
  • Privacy-conscious users who want their photos on storage they control

Blober offers a lifetime license. No subscription, no per-GB fees, no account required to transfer files. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Let me know other providers you would Blober to support...
