How to Download Photos from the Famly App

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 in month-by-month 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.
• Your photos stay private: they go straight from Famly to your computer, never through our servers, and it never asks for your Famly password.
• 20 free downloads to try before you buy, no card needed.

Before your child moves on

When a child leaves nursery, the Famly account is usually downgraded soon after: the newsfeed and messages go, and what's left is much harder to save. If that's on the horizon, save everything now while you still have full access.
