About Flickr Downloader
Your Flickr collection represents years of memories and creative work. With Flickr Downloader, you can create a complete local backup that preserves every detail—from the original resolution file to the EXIF metadata that records your camera settings and GPS location. Albums are automatically organized into folders with their original names, making your archive browsable just like on Flickr.
Batch operations save you hours of manual effort. Queue entire albums or your whole photostream in one go, and the extension handles the rest with automatic retry on failures. You’ll never lose a photo to a temporary network issue, and since everything runs locally with zero external data transmission, your privacy stays protected.
Whether you're migrating away from Flickr or simply want an offline safety net, this downloader works across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. It supports JPEG, PNG, and TIFF formats exactly as uploaded, and even tracks Creative Commons license types so your attribution records remain intact.

Recent customer feedback
Short, practical feedback from people using Flickr Downloader in real workflows.
Migrated 15K photos off Flickr without losing metadata
I have been on Flickr since 2007 and finally decided to migrate to SmugMug. This downloader archived all 15,000 photos across 200 albums with the original EXIF data intact. Took a few hours running in the background but everything came through cleanly.

CC license tracking is a must-have for editorial work
I work in editorial and frequently source Creative Commons photos from Flickr. The license tracking feature is invaluable. Every download includes the CC license type so I can maintain proper attribution records.

Album batch downloads are solid
Album batch downloads work exactly as advertised. I downloaded an entire travel photography album of 300 photos in one batch. Everything organized into a folder with the album name. No quality loss.
