What's the best way to copy the images you have on PhotoBucket?

I'm wanting to do this in a bulk way. It would take me days to do them one at a time. I feel I need a backup of everything I have saved there.

Copy to where? Your local hard drive?

 

I'm aware of Photobucket but never used it.
If if were me I'd try drag-and-drop.
Don't know if it would work but unless Photobucket has something else built in to their site that may be your only chance.

Log in and go to your Library. On the right, under "Actions," is a link to "Download Library." You can grab all your pics (but not videos and Gifs); it'll come as one large .zip file. I just did it to test this post - 91MB.

 

Thanks. I have to show it I'm not a robot and after that the site just locks up. I may need a faster connection. I'll try later.

 

You can download entire folders from Photobucket, but be careful: The sub folders are not automatically included and you have to do each of those individually or at least it was that way when I quit using them about a year and a half or so ago.

 

Check email. It sent me a link to download from which looked just like the page after the Captcha. Only the linked page worked.

 

Photobucket has been sucking big time for a while now. It's not you, it's them.

 

I was just in there. It's not as wonky as it was a few weeks ago when I went in to retrieve a few photos.

 

It was super janky when I was trying to post photos for my Fort Moultrie thread yesterday.

 

What the devil are they doing in there? Adding spyware and such? Trackers?

 

For me it takes forever for all the ads to load. After that it's still slow. I worry the site is going to fail.

 

I think they fired everyone they had who could write code, hired some kids off Craigslist to cut costs and rewrote the whole site. It's been over a year since I walked away from them, and I've held an account there since 2005.

 

Luckily I don't have but maybe les than 100 pics I wanted. I only use my Note right now so I had to go in and download them to my note one at a time. The problem I ran into is the photos aren't near the pixel size on my note than the pics were when I uploaded them. At least I have them. Photobucket is nothing but a big advertising site site and very very slow. Got what I needed, won't use them again.
