Backing Up Photos Whether you intend to delete your Shutterfly account or not, having an up-to-date backup is always recommended. Via My Photos Shutterfly allows its users to download full-resolution images via their My Photos section. You could either download each image individually or else you could select up to 500 photos that will then be sent to your email account in the form of a link that leads to a zipped folder. It costs nothing and will only take a few minutes. Here’s how you could do so: Select the photos/ videos you want to save to your computer. Navigate towards the action bar towards the page’s top and hit the Download button. Depending on how many files you’ve selected, you will soon get an email containing a link from where you can download the zipped folder. Once you have downloaded the folder to your computer, you can view the files within it using any tool like WinZip. From here, files can be easily extracted and saved at your preferred location such as a USB device, any cloud service etc. Via Mobile Apps Although Shutterfly allows users to download files from the mobile app as well, unfortunately, there is no batch download solution available for now. This means that unfortunately, each and every file has to be downloaded individually. Another important aspect to note is that when the images are downloaded via a mobile app, they will be of printing quality, but won’t be full-resolution. Downloading photos via the app is pretty simple. For iPhone/ iPad Once you have opened the app, tap on any image to view it. Hit the Share button. Choose the Save Image option. For Android After opening the app, tap on a photo that you wish to view. On the upper right corner, you’ll see three vertical dots. Tap on them. Choose the Download option. Yup, it’s as simple as that. Deleting the Shutterfly Account There could be several reasons for you to wish to delete your Shutterfly account.
