- (2023-04-24) David Heimerl: Saved me about 10 hours of work re-ordering photos... thank you! One improvement would be to allow you to choose the download folder in the extension settings, rather than the rather clumsy browser default. Otherwise, perfect solution!

- (2022-09-25) Dan Michael: This is awesome! It allows you to keep your photos in order when you download! Why didn't Google allow this?
- (2022-06-23) Kris10 Halverson: Once you get it to launch, it works great. The problem is getting it to launch. After trying to get it to work on Chrome on two different computers (mac and PC) & multiple restarts, I finally downloaded and installed Microsoft Edge and got it to work on my mac that way (after fiddling around with it for way too long). Getting the application to launch is hard and time consuming (its easy to get it to add to Chrome as an extension, but it never launches a window giving you the chance to subscribe which is what you need to get it to actually work). Once it launches, its perfect, easy to use and super quick. Just took several hours of fiddling around with it to get it to launch. Others mention same problem.

- (2021-12-11) Raul Kottler: Fantastic! Saved me many hours of work. Super easy to use. Thanks!
- (2020-09-05) Nick Molatore: Okay, this is genius. When I first starting using Google Photos, I could not believe that you could not download without preserving the order of the photos. This is such an essential feature that I figured Google was working on it and it would soon be a feature. Well, years later and they still don't have this obvious feature. Album Download is a great elegant solution! jThanks!
- (2020-07-14) Eran Bugge: Life saver! Totally did the job and requests the minimum necessary permissions. Thanks!
- (2020-03-07) David Willis: Hi Cameron, I really need this capability but unfortunately the extension did not work for me. I could only see shared albums and not all albums. Sometimes I had to close the extension and re-open to allow the shared albums to appear. And I could not see the content of any albums so could not test the download capability. I use a PC with Windows 10.
- (2020-02-19) Raph Levien: I used this to present a slideshow for a memorial. It saved the relative from redoing about an hour of work carefully putting the photos in order. I also appreciate that the source is available and under a Creative Commons license, that helps increase my trust in the extension.
- (2020-01-31) Yihana Ritter: Fantastic solution! Thank you.
- (2020-01-27) James Kleiner: I was looking for a way to download album pictures from Google Photo and be able to keep them in the order I wanted them in (Google stamps with download date so you can not sort by date). This extension allows you to numerically name them and then sort by name. Few issues but they were immediately taken care of and now I can carry on with my album project. Thanks a million Cameron. It's easy to use and fantastic documentation.
- (2020-01-17) Paul Norman: This lets you download a photo album from Google Photos and retain the order of the photos you created when you made the album. A simple but very valuable extension. Easy to use.

Hello, I would like to cancel my subscription. Could you explain how? I'm not finding the screen with "manage subscription" as seen in the guidelines. Thank you, - (2022-03-03, v:2.1.2) Sherman Thomson: download album download
I am unable to pay subscription because it never shows the link - (2021-12-31, v:2.1.2) sheri kira: stripe
Hi, I don't have a pop up or anything (link) to take me to stripe from the Album Download. Just want to make sure I can do this right and download my albums in chronological order. How do I do this? - (2021-10-14, v:2.1.2) James Kleiner: Album Download
I had not used album download for awhile and have since upgraded my windows to windows 10 Pro. Yesterday I tried to download an album and it would not allow me to download entire album (only one at a time). Today it will not even allow that. Anything I can do to correct? Thanks - (2021-05-08, v:1.0.1) Shekar Sundaramurthy: I see "No longer Available"
Is it available under a different name/price?? - (2021-01-27, v:1.0.1) Glenda S: Where do I find Album Download after I have bought Subscription
I paid for the subscription. The chrome extensions show that Album Download is loaded. I am trying to download a album from google photos. In order for the person to open the photos I need to click each individual photo and then get a link, copy it and then email the link to the person. When I do this the photos are still all jumbled. I want them in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong and is it because I am not just using the "download" button Thanks Glenda - (2021-01-17, v:1.0.1) Ashley Mason: Downloading images not changing the name
hi, i have started downloading a album. most of the names change and then it just gives up changing the names and just downloads them with the original names. please help - (2020-12-23, v:1.0.1) Tom Breeze: Can't buy a license
Hi, I used this once before under a free trial. I would love to use it again, but it greys out the "buy a license" option (I am happy to pay, it's a great tool). Can you help? - (2020-11-11, v:1.0.1) Michael Darwin: Chrome not renaming photos
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but when downloading the photo names don't change. I'm expecting them to be as shown in the table. Everything else appears to be working great. Thanks. Chrome OS on recently bought old Lenovo N22. - (2020-04-26, v:0.4.2) Randy Kaneen: won't locate albums
Bought the software. the :loading albums please wait for a few seconds" came up. But nothing appears...even after a considerable wait. Signed out of google, clicked the sign in button again...not sure how that works..... anyway still no luck. (I am on a desktop PC) - (2020-03-03, v:0.3.0) Cam WM: Caption information
Hi Cameron, Great extension! Quick question - is it possible to include the photo caption information in the filename? (By caption, I mean the text field that by default says "Add a description" in the info section of the photo). I tried various things like {{caption}}, {{info}}, {{description}} but to no avail! Perhaps access isn't even possible to that field?? Another thought: would be great to see somewhere a list of valid fields that the user can specify. I guessed {{filename}} would work, but couldn't come up with any other new ones! Thanks for the great work! Cheers, Cameron - (2020-02-07, v:0.2.1) Peter Csiba: Goot HTTP 200 with list of photos but nothing shows up
The Extension page says: Loading the albums. Please wait a few seconds. When I do Inspect -> Network, then I see the response is already finished. This is my work laptop (MacBook Pro with latest OSx), so we have uBlock install (reports nothing was blocked). As a workaround to get my photos sorted I went through my album, did Shift+D (download) one-by-one and then sort by "Date Added". Wish Google Photos had this (I wanted a more personalized Photo Book than the stock Google Photos).

Really excited to see your extension, Cameron. If it worked I would gladly pay for it. But when I tried to use it to download an album and retain the order of photos and videos in it, they downloaded with the original file names, not the new "save as" filenames the extension supposedly creates to maintain my order. This was true whether I downloaded individual files or the whole album. So not helpful. I am using a PC with Windows 10.
