How to Download Photos from the Famly App

Famly only lets you save photos one at a time. Here's how to get every photo and video from the Famly app onto your computer in one click.

The Famly app is how a lot of nurseries share the good stuff — snack-time chaos, garden adventures, the occasional heroic nap. Getting the updates is a joy. Keeping them is the fiddly bit, because Famly only lets you save photos one at a time.

There's no "save everything" button for parents inside the app. So a year of photos means a lot of tapping — unless you use a tool that does the whole lot in one go.

The one-click way

NurseryDownloader is a Chrome extension that saves every photo and video from Famly at full quality, in a single click.

Step 1: Install the extension

On a laptop or desktop (it doesn't run on phones or tablets), open Chrome or Edge and add NurseryDownloader from the Chrome Web Store.

Step 2: Sign in to Famly

Go to app.famly.co and sign in with your parent account (the same login also covers famly.de and the Bright Horizons FamilyApp). Open your child's feed.

Step 3: Download

Click Download all photos and videos in the panel. Everything saves at full quality, sorted into a folder for each child, then month-by-month sub-folders — including the older posts, not just the recent ones.

What you can rely on

  • Full-quality originals, not lossy screenshots.
  • Photos and videos, filed by date.
  • Nothing leaves your computer — it all runs locally in your browser.
  • 20 free downloads to try before you buy — no card needed.

Before your child moves on

When a child leaves nursery, Famly access is usually switched off soon after — and the photos go with it. If that's on the horizon, save everything now while you can still log in.
