What is Photos Takeout?
Photos Takeout is a macOS application that offers an organized and reliable backup of photos and videos stored in Apple Photos. It provides a solution to the limitations of Apple's native Photos app by allowing the entire Mac and iCloud Photos library to be downloaded into well-arranged folders.
Key features include customizable exports by year, album, or date, preservation of quality and metadata, and unrestricted iCloud access. The software supports incremental exports, comprehensive format support, and maintains custom arrangements within albums. It is compatible with all macOS and Apple Photos versions and runs seamlessly on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
Photos Takeout provides a better alternative to the basic export function of the native Photos app, creating an accessible offline copy of the entire library in an organized format. It also helps reduce iCloud storage costs by enabling easy offloading of photos and videos. The software allows for seamless migration to other photo management programs without loss of organization or metadata. It presents your exported library in neat folders for easy browsing and management, simplifying the management of even multi-terabyte libraries.
