Download all of your circle's photos

The whole circle, in one file

Anyone in a circle can download the whole circle as a single file: every photo and video at full size, every post and comment, and everyone who has been a member.

How to download it

1. Open your circle, choose Circle options, then Settings.
2. Under Download everything in this circle, choose Prepare my download.
3. We get the file ready. Big circles can take a while, so you can close the page. We'll email you when it's ready.
4. Choose Get my download in that email, or go back to the circle's settings and choose Download your circle.

The download is available until the date shown with it. After that, you can make a new one in the circle's settings, up to once a day.

It always works

The download is always free, with or without Premium. It works the same whether your circle is free, has Premium, or its Premium has ended. A paused circle can still be downloaded in full, any time.

If the circle is deleted

When an owner deletes a circle, a download that's still waiting to be picked up is erased along with everything else. A file you've already saved to your own device stays with you. If you'd like a copy, prepare your download before the circle is deleted. See Delete a circle.

If something couldn't be included

Once in a while, a photo or video can't be part of the download. When that happens, the archive says so and gives a plain note about why.
