"Classic" procedure
First of all, let's try to understand how to download photos from Flickr without using third-party tools and various tricks, acting directly from the website of the service or from the related app, thus taking advantage of the “standard” functions. Find out how to proceed both in one case and the other right below.
From computer
To download photos from Flickr without resorting to the use of third-party tools, the first fundamental step you must take is to start the browser you generally use to surf the net and connect to the home page of the service, type the reference keyword in the search bar located at the top of the page and choose whether to search among all photos, people or groups using the suggestions that you see appear automatically.
On the page that will subsequently open, you will find all the results of the research carried out that you can eventually refine using the appropriate menus and commands at the top. In fact, you can choose to view only the photos corresponding to a specific license, whether to leave SafeSearch active or not, according to which criteria to order the photos and how to view them.
You can also view only the images corresponding to a specific color by selecting the reference color at the top, or you can use even more advanced search parameters by clicking on the item Advanced, in fact, which is always located at the top, on the right, and then acting on the various menus and on the various settings available. By doing this, you can, for example, search for images based on a certain orientation or based on the date they were taken.
Once you have located the photo you want to download, click on it and then press the button with the down arrow which is in the lower right part of the page that has opened and click on the item corresponding to the format in which you intend to download the photo from the menu that. The image will then be downloaded and saved on your computer, in the folder Download (if you have not changed the default settings of the web browser in use).
Please note: If following the instructions I just provided you do not find any button to perform the download, it is evidently because the author of the photo has specific rights on it.
Give smartphone and tablet
Do you want to find out how to download photos from Flickr using the special app of the service available for Android and iOS? So, to begin with, grab your mobile phone, unlock it and access the screen where the icons of all the apps are grouped, then download and start the Flickr app on your device and log in to your account by pressing on Log in. If you don't already have an account, click on SUBSCRIBE and create one right now.
Now, scroll through the Flickr home and locate the photo you are interested in or carry out a targeted search by first pressing on the magnifying glass at the bottom, then typing the reference keyword and indicating whether you intend to search among all the photos, between people or between groups by selecting the relevant item.
Then stop on the photo you want to download, then on the icon of arrow he you find at the bottom right and choose the item to download the image in the gallery of your device.
Please note: Even in this case, if following the instructions I have just provided you do not find any download button, keep in mind that it is due to the fact that the author of the photo has set specific rights on it.
