Four Folder Layouts

✦

Choose when you download, after a preview of your own files. Downloading again in another layout costs nothing. Uploaded backs? One checkbox saves each beside its front.

Default

Just as you uploaded them

Your folders and file names, exactly as uploaded, with the corrected date inside each photo.

No lock-in, by design

Everything We Learned Lives Inside Each File

✦

What matters is written inside each photo, where any app can read it.

Written inside every file

The corrected date

Lands in its real year in Google Photos, Apple Photos, Immich or Amazon Photos.

Handwriting from the backs

Saved as the photo’s description.

Upright orientation

Right side up in any modern photo app.

Faces and the names you gave them

In a standard format that Immich, digiKam and Lightroom pick up automatically.

Never changed

The pixels

Same resolution, same quality. Never recompressed or edited.

Your independence

No special format, app or subscription needed to keep your files.

Or keep them here: dated photos stay online for 90 days (30 on the free trial). Family Library keeps them after that ($39 a year or a small monthly fee), and relatives can help organize.

Built for real archives

From a Shoebox to Ten Thousand Scans

Most archives: one ZIP

Up to about a gigabyte: one ZIP file in your Downloads folder.

Huge archives: straight to a folder

On Chrome and Edge, pick a folder and the photos stream into it. A dropped connection picks up where it left off.

Safari & Firefox

Big archives come as numbered ZIP parts. Allow multiple downloads, and keep the page open until the last part saves.
