Description:

Export photos and videos from Apple Photos in year-wise, album-wise or moment-wise folders. Save them in Mac, external HD, Google Drive, Dropbox, NAS or anywhere else.

Photos Takeout is easy to use: Select source (Photos library), destination and the years, albums or moments to be exported. It's all saved in in a familiar folder hierarchy (Don't try it with Photos' Export function: you'll get just one humongous, unusable folder).

Try Photos Takeout for FREE. This lets you see how the app works, but exports only one photo per folder. Unlock exports with any of these in-app purchases:

- POWER version: For Photos libraries of up to 50 GB.
- PRO POWER: Handles even Terabyte-sized libraries.

POWER users can upgrade to PRO POWER with POWER UP in-app purchase (Paying just the price difference).

Examples of when to use Photos Takeout:

- To make yearbooks of your 2017, 2018 and 2019 photos
- To export selected albums for printing as photo-books
- To move photos from iCloud to external drive. Save $$!
- To migrate to other photo management programs or PC
- To share albums or tons of photos with non-Mac users- To extract photos for reverting to old versions of Photos

Photos is a great program for organizing and editing pictures and videos, but it stores them in its opaque Photos Library structure. So you don't control your photo collection. Can't click open a folder and find all your photos in it. Can't switch to another photo management software without losing your organization and photo edits.

Use Photos Takeout to make a human readable backup of your photos. Even if you do auto-back ups on Time Machine, this added layer of protection is useful because Time Machine overwrites older backups, so you could still lose data.

Photos Takeout makes it incredibly easy to get photos and videos out of Apple Photos, organized exactly as you like.

System requirements

Mac with macOS 10.12 and higher, 64 bit
(Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra)
* Photos library must be compatible with the Mac on which Photos Takeout is installed. Checking it is easy: If Photos can open the library normally, Photos Takeout can export from it. But Photos Takeout won't, for example, recognize a Big Sur library on a Mac running Catalina, or a Catalina library on a Mac running Mojave.
