Google Photos: How to export photos and videos

Step 1: Make sure you have signed in to your Google account. Now, you need to visit the “takeout.google.com” website to export all your data that Google has.

Step 2: Once the site opens, just click on the “Deselect all” option.

Step 3: Scroll down > select Google Photos > scroll down > click on Next Step.

Step 4: In the frequency option, you get two options, including export once, and export every two months for one year. Google even lets you select file sizes, available with up to 50GB. Once done, press on Create export. Google will then send an email to your account to verify. The message says ‘an archive of Google data has been requested.’

You are also allowed to add your files directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box. Once the process of export starts,  Google takes a few hours or a few days for the complete download, depending on the data limit.

In the end, the search giant will email you that the data is ready to download.
