Here is how it works
– In your Shutterfly account, create a “share site” for the pictures that you want to download. This will create a site like “mypictures.shutterfly.com”. You can create private site if you want to make sure no one has access to it.
– Open the share site url in Chrome
– Click on any subfolders with pictures that you have such that you see actually images appear
– If the album is available for extraction, you will see an icon in right corder the URL bar
– Click the arrow and press “Download my pictures”
– If you get a notification about downloading files, click “Allow”
– Your images should start downloading shortly. They will be downloaded into the default downloads folder.
If you get a prompt about saving each individual file, please make sure that you’ve allowed the extension so save multiple files at a time (see screenshot)

The “Download my pictures” button in this extension doesn’t work
Not working! It shows the “Download my Pictures” drop-down, but when I click it – Nothing happens!
Remember to turn off the “Ask me where to save” switch in your Chrome settings, then set the default download folder for the target destination (presumably the same name as the album whose photos you’re downloading), then click the arrow.
Works like a charm. One click and, when I get my cup of tea, all the album’s original-size photos are downloaded to my computer. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks very much!
Works perfectly! Shutterfly limitation on downloads is so annoying…
If you’re getting Save As… dialogs for every picture it is likely because you have your Chrome download settings to prompt “Ask where to save each file”. Turn that off, make sure you’ve set the proper download folder, and hit that green extensions arrow.
Does exactly as described -great time-saver!
Absolutely amazing! Allowed me to download 375 photos from Shutterfly in a matter of minutes. It would have taken ages to do it manually.
Took 3 minutes to find you, install you, and use you. And the photos came out perfectly. Thank you!
Hands down the best tool for mass downloading photos from Shutterfly! I was able to quickly download 400+ photos is under 5 minutes…..a task I was afraid was going to take hours! Worked like a charm!
Worked perfectly. Saved me tons of time.
It’s this simple:
1. You have to be on a [mycalendar].shutterly.com type site
2. Open an album so that you see all of the little pictures in your album
3. Wait for the arrow to the right of the URL to turn green
4. Click the green arrow
Amazing tool, huge help!!!
Truly genius. Saved months of my time clicking each photo and then downloading it.
It works 100%.
Downloaded 500 + pictures hassle-free.
Thank you and keep up the good work
i can’t get it to work with all the simple things in the video and the review. Waste of time possible. Not sure.
It took me sometime to figure out the issue. It does not show “Download” option if we try it from albums in our account rather it works for the album shared URL.
It works like a charm if tried from the correct URL.
It doesn’t do anything. Looking at the source code, it’s clear that this is from a previous version of the Shutterfly website and cannot possibly work. When I click “Download my pictures”
Console error log shows:
Received request to download images from https://photos.shutterfly.com/story_invite/8bc65edd-8e0a-4d40-8ed2-b71367007b5f/100053082425

Thank you so much, saved me a ton of time
Doesnt work
It took me a minute to figure out how simple this app was. Just open the gallery, then wait for the arrow at the upper right corner to turn green. When it does, “click” and DONE!!!!
So, so, so much better than doing photos one at a time.
So glad this is around to save my family albums.
Great tool! Thanks!
thank god for this app. it works perfectly!
Saved us an hour downloading pictures today. Just too bad we didn’t find it several thousand grandkid pictures ago.
Just what I was looking for. Follow the instructions and it will work seamlessly.
