AppsCyborg

Flickr Downloader

Save Flickr photos at the largest size the photographer offers, and whole albums at once — not the resized copy the page displays.

Respects what the photographer chose to publish: where original size is withheld, the largest offered size comes down instead.

How to download from Flickr

Copy the Flickr link

Open the page on Flickr and copy the address from your browser bar, or use the share menu and pick Copy link. Either form works.

Paste it above

Drop the link into the box and press download. Nothing to configure — the right extractor for Flickr is picked for you.

Save the file

The file is prepared on our side and handed to you as a normal download. It lands in your usual downloads folder, on desktop or phone.

Why AppsCyborg for Flickr

Built around how Flickr actually serves media

Flickr generates a ladder of sizes for every photo and displays a middling one, so a right-click save gets a resized copy rather than the file the photographer uploaded. We ask for the largest size available on that photo. Where the photographer has withheld the original — a setting Flickr gives them deliberately — the largest published size comes down instead, and we do not try to defeat that choice.

Nothing to install

No browser extension, no desktop app, no APK. Flickr links are handled server-side, so the same page works on a work laptop you cannot install software on and on a phone.

Kept at source quality

We hand you the stream Flickr published rather than re-encoding it down to a smaller file. What arrives is what was uploaded, not a second-generation copy.

No ads and no decoy buttons

One button that does what it says. No overlay ads, no fake Download that opens a tab, no push-notification prompt. AppsCyborg is paid, so the page has nothing to sell you on the way past.

Downloading from Flickr — questions

Is downloading from Flickr allowed?

That depends on the material and on where you are, and it is your call to make. Downloading your own uploads, or material published under a licence that permits it, is normally fine. Redistributing someone else's copyrighted work is not. AppsCyborg is a tool; it does not grant you rights you did not already have, and you stay responsible for what you download.

What file do I get from a Flickr link?

A JPEG at the largest size the photographer published, frequently several thousand pixels on the long edge. EXIF is preserved as Flickr stores it. Album and photostream links return every photo in the set as separate files.

What happens when Flickr changes something?

Flickr's API is long-standing and this is a stable source. Photos in private albums, and photos whose owner has restricted downloads, fail with that reason — that restriction is the photographer's decision and is honoured.

Do I need to install anything to download from Flickr?

No. There is no extension, no app and no command line. You paste a Flickr link into the box on this page and get a file back. It works the same in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, on desktop and mobile.

What does it cost?

A day pass is €1 and covers 24 hours. A year is €6, and lifetime access is a single €30 payment. There is no free tier and no trial — the paid account is what keeps the site free of ads and the queue short.
