Download your gallery
At the top of the gallery, Download all saves every photo as one ZIP. Open a section first, such as Ceremony, and the same button becomes Download Ceremony, so you can take just that part.
Large galleries are zipped in the background. Leave your email and a link arrives when it is ready; the link works for 7 days.
One photo at a time
Open any photo and use the download button there. You choose between high resolution, the original file for printing, and web size, a smaller copy that is quicker to post or text.
Save directly to Photos on an iPhone or iPad
Open a photo, tap Download, then Save to Photos. Once the photo is ready, tap Save to Photos again and choose Save Image in your device’s sharing menu. This saves the photo to Photos without first finding it in Files. The browser still needs that final confirmation; FOCL cannot save silently into your photo library.
This uses the original download unless your photographer requires watermarked downloads. It respects the same permissions and PIN as other downloads. If your browser does not support file sharing, the option is hidden; use High resolution or Web size to download a file instead. If the particular file cannot be shared, FOCL offers Download file instead.
On Android and other devices with file sharing, the option says Save or share photo. The available destination apps depend on the device. Full-gallery and section ZIPs remain file downloads; on an iPhone they go to Files.
For a few photos together, use Select → pick photos → Save → choose a size, then follow your device’s sharing menu when offered.
If it asks for a PIN
Your photographer can protect every download with a PIN, including single photos, Save to Photos, selected photos and ZIPs. Ask them for the code; you may also find it in the gallery delivery email.
If there is no download button
The photographer has turned downloads off for this gallery, so it is view-only. They can switch it on in a moment if you ask.
