How to Download Your Procare Photos to a Computer
Saving Procare 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 check Procare on a phone, 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 you're keeping these for the long haul, a computer is the better home: the files land at full quality and they're far easier to organise and back up.
Why a computer beats your phone here
- Full-size originals. The desktop route pulls the same quality the daycare holds, not a shrunk version.
- Real folders. Sorting a year of photos into tidy folders is a nightmare on a phone and simple on a laptop.
- Proper backups. From a computer you can copy everything to a cloud drive and an external disk in minutes.
Get them all onto your laptop or desktop
NurseryDownloader is a Chrome extension made for exactly this.
- On your computer, open Chrome or Edge and add NurseryDownloader from the Chrome Web Store.
- Sign in to Procare at schools.procareconnect.com and open your child's photos.
- 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 — that's 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.
