macOS 12+ · Windows 10+ 1,000 photos free to start Final builds coming soon
Three ways to back up

Your photos. Someone else’s. Or the whole of Flickr.

01
Free to start

Your own account

Back up everything in your Flickr account — including private photos, organized albums, and the “not in any set” stragglers. This is what Dlickr does best.

02
Public photos

Someone else's photos

Save any public photostream, album, or set of favorites by username or profile URL. Great for archiving a friend, an org, or a photographer you follow.

03
CC-friendly

Search across Flickr

Bulk-download public photos by tag, text, place, or date — with Creative-Commons and public-domain license filters.

For other people’s photos, Dlickr records each photo’s license, author, and source URL, respects the owner’s download permission, and helps you filter to Creative-Commons or public-domain. You remain responsible for how you use them — see our Terms.

What Dlickr saves

Original files, albums, and metadata — organized on your computer.

Original files

Download the highest-quality files Flickr makes available — photos and videos alike.

Albums as folders

Photosets are saved as local folders, keeping your library easy to browse and re-find.

Metadata included

Titles, captions, tags, dates, EXIF, and licensing are saved alongside your photos.

Three steps

From Flickr to your disk in minutes.

01
Connect Flickr

Sign in through Flickr’s own page. Dlickr never sees your password.

02
Choose photos

Select albums, search your library, or back up everything at once.

03
Save locally

Pick a folder and start downloading. Pause and resume anytime.

Private by design

Dlickr runs on your computer.

Your photos never pass through our servers.

  • Sign in through Flickr OAuth — we never see your password
  • Your Flickr token stays in your device’s OS keychain, not on our servers
  • Downloads go straight from Flickr to your local folder
  • Your metadata stays with your backup

Questions

Good to know.

Is Dlickr made by Flickr?

No. Dlickr is an independent app by Modest Foundry and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Flickr or SmugMug, Inc. It connects to Flickr using Flickr’s official API.

Do my photos or password ever touch your servers?

No. You sign in through Flickr’s own page (OAuth), so we never see your password. Photos download directly from Flickr to your computer — they never pass through, and are never stored on, our servers.

What does “1 credit” mean?

One credit backs up one original photo. Re-downloading the same photo within 7 days is free, so incremental backups stay cheap. Browsing albums and reading metadata are always free.

Is it a subscription? Do credits expire?

Neither. Dlickr is pay-as-you-go — buy a pack of credits when you need them. There’s no subscription, and credits don’t expire.

Which platforms are supported?

Dlickr is a cross-platform desktop app for macOS and Windows. The first builds are in final notarization — see the download page for status.

Can I download other people’s photos?

You can back up public photos. Dlickr records each photo’s license, author, and source URL, respects the owner’s download permission, and can filter to Creative-Commons / public-domain. You are responsible for how you use other people’s photos.
