Leaving Google Photos: the longer you wait, the harder it gets

Retrieving all your photos from Google Photos is possible, but the experience holds surprises — especially when the library has grown over the years.

What gets in the way

  • The full download can stretch over several days.
  • Photo dates, sometimes taken ten or twenty years ago, are stored separately and can be lost during the export.
  • The larger the library, the longer and trickier the operation.

The lesson: do not wait

Every passing year adds thousands of files to retrieve one day. The sooner you put your memories safe elsewhere, the simpler it is.

With Mon Écrin, it is different

Your photos are backed up in their original quality, with their dates preserved, and stay downloadable at any time. No lock-in: your memories are yours, from the first day to the last.
