How to Download Your Images Onto Your Mobile Device

So, you just received an email from me that your gallery is ready to be viewed. Awesome! But, now you want to know how to get all those beautiful images from the online gallery and onto your mobile device.

Here are the steps:

1. While viewing the single image, click the download button.

2. ​Click the file/image size to download.

3. The web browser will open the image full screen. 

4. You will need to use your finger to press and hold down on the screen for a couple seconds until the phone menu pops up. ****DO NOT SCREENSHOT- INSTEAD, HOLD DOWN AND CLICK SAVE****

5. Click SAVE IMAGE

6. You will need to use your back button on the phones internet browser to get back to the online gallery to view/download all the other images.

7. Depending on your phone, once you download an image you will be able to find the photo in your phone's Photo App.​

8. You can see a video showing these steps here.

So why do you need to hold down on the image? Because you your internet browser is just showing you the image and you need to tell your phone to actually save it to the phone. DO NOT SCREENSHOT the image. If you screen shot the image you are just taking a small snapshot of your phones screen and not actually downloading the full image. The image quality will suffer! So, trust me….just press for a few seconds and save :)

Remember to print or save the photos on a couple of devices so you don’t lose them!

Make sure to tag Blooming Desert Photography anytime you share the images online….I’d be forever thankful and you might earn some free print credit or other merchandise!
