How to Download Your Famly Photos to a Computer
Saving Famly photos to your phone often grabs a smaller copy. Here's how to get the full-size originals onto a laptop or desktop.
Most of us live in the Famly app on our phones, so that's where people first try to save photos too. It works — but tapping save on a phone often gives you a smaller, compressed copy, not the full-size original. If these are keepers, a computer is the better home: the files arrive at full quality and they're far easier to sort and back up.
Why a computer is the right home for these
- Full-size originals. The desktop route pulls the same quality the nursery holds, not a shrunk version.
- Real folders. Organising a year of photos is miserable on a phone and easy on a laptop.
- Proper backups. From a computer you can copy the lot to a cloud drive and an external disk in minutes.
Get them all onto your laptop or desktop
NurseryDownloader is a Chrome extension built for exactly this.
- On your computer, open Chrome or Edge and add NurseryDownloader from the Chrome Web Store.
- Sign in to Famly at app.famly.co and open your child's feed.
- Click Download all photos and videos. Everything downloads to your computer at full quality, into a folder per child and month-by-month sub-folders, ready to back up.
Windows or Mac — both fine
It runs in Chrome or Edge on either, so a Windows PC, a MacBook or an iMac all work the same way. It's a desktop browser extension, so it doesn't run on phones or tablets — which is rather the point: the computer is where the full-size files belong.
Everything happens locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to us. Your first 20 downloads are free.
