Choose Download Size: High Resolution

Download To:
Choose the location you'd like to use to download your photos.
When selecting 'My Computer',
First Click the download box (labeled above), and then locate the download at the bottom left of your screen. Click the ^ symbol next to the download (pictured above), then click 'Show in Folder' -- this will take you to the download location (likely the Downloads folder on your computer).
Your photo folder will come compressed/zipped so that the download will take less time. To unzip the file on an Apple computer, simply double-click the zipped folder. On Windows, you'll need to:
- Click on/Select the file
2. Right-click and choose Extract All, or click 'Compressed Folder Tools' Shown Below (the pink highlight), then Extract All.
Ignore the Browse button and click Extract as shown above.
After clicking 'Extract', a new window should appear with something like this -- this is your unzipped folder of photos ready for use
Drag the new folder to your Desktop, leaving the .ignore file in the old folder. After moving your photo folder to your desktop or photos, you may delete anything that's left from the download (in your Downloads folder) if you'd like!
Now you can access your photos! Feel free to rename the folder to anything that works for you or just leave it the same. :)
