How to Download Photos in Pic-Time

Pic-time is a gallery app used by thousands of photographers because of its incredible features, one of which is the ability to include product snapshots using clients' imagery.

While the app is laid out in a very user-friendly way, inevitably, each year, I have a few clients who need clarification about how to download their images.

I modified the instructions straight from Pic-Time to walk you through it.

Steps to Downloading Photos on a Desktop

How to Download All the Photos from Your Gallery

1. To download all of the images in the gallery, click the downward-facing arrow in the upper right corner of the page and select Download Full Gallery.

2. Click Download to Computer. If you prefer, you can also choose Save to Dropbox or Save to Google Photos

3. Images are grouped in a zip file(s) to optimize download speed. Click photos.zip to download them to your computer.

Your computer will save the zip file to the designated downloads folder. After you're done downloading, extract the photos from the zip file by double clicking on the zip folder. If a double click doesn't work, try a third-party software for zip file extraction.

If your gallery has multiple scenes, the Pic-Time app splits the images into subfolders named after the scenes in the downloaded folder.
