Batch downloading all Shutterfly photos is a simple process. Once you have navigated to the Shutterfly website and logged into your account, you will need to click on your profile icon and go to the Photos tab. Here, your entire photo library (and specific albums you've created) will be displayed.

The entire library is divided by date, so each month and each specific day has a button next to it with a check mark and the number of photos in that collection.

If you want to download your entire library, click each of those buttons to select all the images related to each month. You can also be more selective, choosing to download images from a specific date, or even just click on the very images you want to download.

Note : If you only need one image, Shutterfly will let you download it instantly by following the same process while selecting only one item. Email downloads are usually almost instantaneous, but this is a useful alternative if you can't receive emails.

Is Shutterfly okay for file storage?

With Shutterfly's download options, this website can be considered a formidable competitor to many popular photo hosting websites today.

The only major downside to storing photos in Shutterfly is that the download app is limited to 1600x1200 resolution. If you print any photo larger than 8x10, you will see quality issues.

Therefore, you should also consider storing your photos in a modern cloud storage solution like Google Drivee or iCloud. When you store photos in multiple places, the backup feature ensures that you never lose those files.

Tip : Importing photos from Google into Shutterfly is an extremely simple process, so it's a great choice for file storage if you like to order prints.

And if you decide to use Shutterfly, you can also print physical memorabilia while keeping your most precious memories safe on the platform's servers.
