Downloads remain available for a week after creation. North America. Looking to download all of your images and videos from Google Photos? Chris Rowlands. See more how-to articles. You can go to the Albums tab accessed on the left side of the desktop website or the bottom of the mobile app and then look at the carousel at the top to scroll through common terms specific to your collection.
Google Photos can also help you find images based on who appears in them -- even if it doesn't know every person's name. Go to the Albums tab and select 'People' to see a list of faces from your collection.
If you want to be able to search for someone by name, just tap her face, select 'Who is this? That name will then appear whenever you start typing the first few letters into the app's search bar. In theory, Photos recognizes how a person ages over time and groups all the photos in which he appears together -- but in reality, it doesn't always get it right. If you see someone's face showing up in two different places within the 'People' section, first use the naming process described above to make sure the person is properly labeled.
Then tap the second place where the person appears, select 'Who is this? You can also manually remove images from a person's grouping by clicking or tapping the menu icon in the upper-right corner of the screen and then selecting the option labeled 'Remove results.

Feeling lazy? You can search your Google Photos by emoji yes, really! You can find the photos you uploaded most recently by going to the Photos website and clicking the search bar -- then clicking the link labeled 'Show More' followed by 'Recently Added.
If you see some images out of order in your collection, odds are they were captured with the wrong date. Perhaps, ahem, someone forgot to set the clock correctly on his or her camera? Not to worry, though: There's a quick fix. Keeping all your smartphone photos backed up to the cloud is smart, but watch out: All that data transferring can take a serious toll on your mobile device's stamina.
Do your battery a favor and set Photos to back up only when your phone is charging. Want Photos to back up images beyond just those taken with your phone's camera -- pictures you've downloaded, perhaps, or screenshots you've captured? Since all your smartphone photos are backed up to the cloud, you can safely delete your phone's local copies whenever you need to free up some space.
Just look for the option called 'Free up device storage' in the Photos app's settings to get started. The app may also automatically prompt you to do this if your phone's storage gets low.
Let's face it: Uploading a ton of images from your computer to the cloud can be a real chore. Take the pain out of the process by snagging Google's free desktop uploader tool, available for both macOS and Windows. The program makes it possible to batch-transfer images; it also gives you the option to automatically sync new images whenever a camera or card gets plugged into your system.
Google has a handy tool for 'scanning' your old printed photos directly into your collection via your phone's camera. Google Photos may generally be a cloud-centric service, but if you feel more comfortable keeping a local copy of your entire image collection, there is a way. Make sure it's set up to sync everything in your Drive to a folder on your computer. Next, head to the Drive website, click the gear icon in the upper-right corner, select 'Settings' and then check the box next to 'Create a Google Photos folder.
And since you already have Drive set to sync with your computer, that folder will always remain backed up and synced -- both ways -- with your corresponding local folder. For a one-time batch download of your entire collection -- without the ongoing two-way sync -- visit Google's Takeout tool.
Redundancy is the key. To get everything from Google Photos, login to the service and click the Settings cog icon in the upper-right corner. On the next screen, scroll down to Export your data , click the downward facing arrow in that section, and then click the Backup link as pictured here. Getting there via Photos, as opposed to going directly to Takeout, means all your stuff on Google Photos will be selected, but no other data from your Google Account will be.
Now click Next step.
