Emails, unnamed ZIPs — and no originals

- Request a ZIP and wait for an email for every album
- Match generic downloads back to your album names

Easier watched than explained.
The whole run in 1:34 — from the Flickr login to the finished album folders. The video sits on our own server and only loads once you press play.

One collection, one run
Skip the album-by-album download.
Flickr makes every album a separate job. On a free account those downloads are capped at 1024px — and videos are left out of every album download, Pro or not.
All your albums. Original files. One run.
- Full-resolution original photos and videos — Free or Pro
- One Flickr export instead of one ZIP per album
- Restore all album names automatically
- Stop and continue without starting over
- Flickr titles, descriptions, tags, dates, places and orientation — optionally in JPEG copies or XMP sidecars
All your Flickr metadata included
Titles, places, dates — right with your photos.
Titles, places and the date behind a photo are part of the memory. Choose exactly how Adios keeps them with your photos.
Write Flickr details into JPEG copies
Add titles, descriptions, tags, dates, places and orientation where your photo app can read them.
XMP sidecars for every file type
The same details can sit beside videos, PNGs and other formats in XMP — ready for Lightroom, Bridge and digiKam.
Use Flickr titles as file names
Choose human names instead of technical export names. The Flickr ID stays in place, so duplicate titles never collide.
Your originals stay untouched
Adios only creates copies when you choose these options. Your downloaded original files always remain exactly as Flickr delivered them.

Real Flickr archives
From 127 albums to 90,000 photos.
People have trusted Adios with collections built over years — from an overnight export to the moment the last album was finally back on disk.
“Version 2 is absolutely brilliant — a major leap forward in quality. Thanks, Mike.”
“This latest version of Adios worked like a charm and is well worth the money. Of my 30,000+ photos from 20+ years on Flickr, I had only 22 photos/videos (mostly videos) that did not properly transfer. The problem files were clearly identified by Adios (name and album), making it simple to download them one at a time and put them in the right folders. I did the final export step using an external USB drive and it was not inordinately long despite the amount of data that needed to be transferred. I am very pleased with Adios and highly recommend it.”
“I just finished my first export of 30,000 images in 429 albums with your tool and I really appreciate it.”
“Thank you for the great software.”
“I have a sizeable Flickr account I'm moving — and the tool is working as expected.”
“Last week I tried it out to retrieve my sister's Flickr account (13 albums and 886 images). It worked flawlessly and quickly.”
“I've purchased a licence for Adios — thanks, it works well.”
“Thank you for taking the time to make such a wonderful tool. Keep up the good work.”
“The new version did the trick and it all worked out.”
Built from experience
I built the shortcut I wished Flickr had.
I was a Flickr Pro user with 22,310 photos in 113 albums. After downloading just six albums manually — requesting ZIPs, waiting for emails and trying to identify unnamed downloads — I stopped and built a better way.
I've spent many hours refining the process since 2019, so you can bring your Flickr collection home without spending hours sorting it by hand.

How it works
Three steps. However many albums.
Adios uses Flickr’s official account export behind the scenes, then restores the album structure on your computer.
Sign in once
Adios opens Flickr’s own login and starts the official account export for you.
Let Flickr prepare it
This can take from a few minutes to a few days. Flickr emails you when it is ready, then Adios continues.
Choose where your albums go
Review the plan, pick a destination and let Adios rebuild every album as a normal folder.
Privacy by architecture
Your photos stay on your computer.
Your Flickr login stays with Flickr. Downloads go directly from Flickr to a folder you choose, and every album is rebuilt locally on your computer.
The only data sent anywhere other than Flickr is your license key, which Lemon Squeezy (or Gumroad, for older licenses) validates when the app starts.

What it costs, what it saves
Once, instead of every year.
Flickr Pro is a subscription for hosting and Pro features. Adios turns your Flickr archive into folders on your own drive — after that, Flickr is optional.
An ongoing subscription for Flickr Pro
- Flickr Pro costs money on a recurring plan — monthly, annually, or every two years
- Your organized archive remains hosted on Flickr
- Free accounts have limits on hosted photos
- Moving elsewhere means rebuilding that organization
One payment & your albums are back
- Paid once at 19 € — less than three months of Pro
- Every album becomes a folder of original photos and videos
- Optional Flickr metadata stays with your files
- Keep Flickr if you like it — you no longer have to
Flickr already lets Free and Pro users request their original files through its account export. Adios uses that official export and turns it back into an organized local archive.
