How to export photos from photo app.

Hello,

I'm having the worst kind of trouble trying to export my photos from the windows 10 photo app to my computer or a flash drive. I can not find an option to do this and I can not find the photos on my computer, they are only available in the photo app. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Parker,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are facing issues with Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

The issue could occur if there is change in picture settings.

To assist you better, please provide us the below information:

  • When you say that "the photos on my computer" are you not able to find photos in Pictures folder in the File Explorer?
  • Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

I suggest you to perform simple steps prior trying to manually copy whole pictures from Photo app and check if you are able to copy the pictures from Photo Gallery app.

1. Click on Search bar.

2. Then type "Photo Gallery" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

3. Check if the pictures are getting displayed in it. If it is present, then select all the pictures clicking press Ctrl Key + A key

4. Copy the pictures and paste it to the desired location in the computer.

Reply to us with the information, so that we can assist you better.

Let us know if you need any further assistance on Windows related issues and we will be glad to help.

Hi,

If your pictures aren't in the photo gallery, you just need to locate your files/photos to where they are saved.

Regards.

Typically you'd export them at a certain pixel size and to JPG/Ping etc.

Shame you can't do this in the photo app.
