Own your Flickr
Download your Flickr photos, albums, and metadata to your computer — original files, saved to a folder you choose.
Your photos. Someone else’s. Or the whole of Flickr.
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.
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.
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.
Original files, albums, and metadata — organized on your computer.
Download the highest-quality files Flickr makes available — photos and videos alike.
Photosets are saved as local folders, keeping your library easy to browse and re-find.
Titles, captions, tags, dates, EXIF, and licensing are saved alongside your photos.

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.
