Link Safe

Annoyingly, Flickr doesn’t offer a built-in way to download all your photos at once. But there is a useful third-party app that unlocks this option. It’s called Bulkr and you can get it for free from bit.ly/bulkr. You’ll need Adobe Flash and Adobe Air to run the tool, but you’ll be prompted to install these if you don’t already have them. Once you’ve installed Bulkr, authorise your Flickr account so the app can access your photostream and download multiple photos and videos in a single click. Bulkr lets you grab copies of any Flickr user’s albums including your own and download images in four different sizes (small, medium, large and original), along with their titles, tags, geotags and descriptions in EXIF format. The free version of Bulkr has some limitations for example, you can only download up to 50 images at a time but if you need them all in one go, you can buy the Pro version for $40 (about £26).
