How to Download All of the Photos from Famly

How to Download All Your Photos from the Famly App

If your child's nursery uses Famly, it has quietly built up hundreds, sometimes thousands, of photos and videos of your child. The catch: Famly only lets you save them one at a time, and once your child leaves the setting your account is downgraded and the photos get much harder to reach.

NurseryDownloader is a Chrome extension that saves your child's entire Famly gallery, every photo and video, in full original quality, with a single click. Here's how.

Download every Famly photo in one click

Step 1: Install the extension

1. Open Google Chrome on a laptop or desktop (the extension doesn't run on phones or tablets).
2. Go to the NurseryDownloader page on the Chrome Web Store.
3. Click Add to Chrome, then Add extension in the pop-up.

Step 2: Open Famly

1. Go to famly.co (or famly.de) and log in with your parent account.
2. Open your feed, the best place to start, as feed downloads also save a captions spreadsheet, or your child's profile, where their tagged photos live.

Step 3: Click download

1. The NurseryDownloader panel appears automatically in the top-right of the page.
2. Click Download all photos & videos. It scans the page and shows how many items it has found.
3. Everything saves to your computer at full resolution, neatly organised into month-by-month folders. Feed downloads also include a spreadsheet (photo-captions.csv) of the date and caption for every post, so each photo keeps its story.

That's it. Leave the tab open while it runs; a progress bar shows how far along it is.

What you get

• Photos and videos, your feed posts and your child's tagged media, not just profile pictures.
• Full original quality, the real files, not lossy screenshots that drop the date.
• Works on famly.co and famly.de, the same one click covers both.
• Organised, with the story kept, month-by-month folders, and a captions spreadsheet for feed downloads.
• Your photos stay private: they go straight from the app to your computer, never through our servers, and it never asks for your password because it works in the browser where you're already signed in.
• Keeps checking, pop back in later and it saves any new photos your nursery has added since.

Your first 20 downloads are free, so you can check the quality before you buy a licence.

Frequently asked questions

Does it download Famly videos too? Yes, videos from your feed are saved alongside the photos, at full quality, filed under the date they were posted.

Does it work with famly.de? Yes. Famly runs the same platform on famly.co and famly.de, and NurseryDownloader handles both.

Do I get the dates and captions? Feed downloads include a photo-captions.csv listing the date and caption for every post, so nothing loses its context.

We're about to leave the nursery, will I lose the photos? Once your child leaves, your account is usually downgraded and the photos get much harder to reach. The nursery isn't keeping a copy for you either, so save them while you still have full access: that's exactly what this is for.

Is it safe? Your photos go straight from Famly to your computer and are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
