SmugMug Downloader: Galleries and Sites in One Go
Save photos from SmugMug on your computer: a single gallery, or every public gallery on a photographer's site at once. Each photo comes as the original where the photographer lets visitors have it, and as the largest size the gallery shows where not.
How to Download from SmugMug
Where a photographer turns downloads on, a SmugMug gallery has a download button of its own, one gallery at a time. For a whole site in one go, with its galleries kept apart, three steps:
One-time setup: download NeoDownloader and install it. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The steps below are what you repeat each time.

Copy the Gallery's or the Site's Address
Open the gallery and copy its address: the site's name and .smugmug.com, then the gallery's path. For every gallery the site has, copy just the site's home address instead.

SmugMug Downloader for Original Photos
A SmugMug photographer decides what visitors may have: the original file, or display sizes up to a limit. NeoDownloader takes the original where it is offered and otherwise the largest size the gallery lets visitors see, so it asks for nothing the photographer has held back.
Videos in a gallery are saved as video files beside its photos.
SmugMug Bulk Downloader for a Whole Site
A site's home address, its name and .smugmug.com and nothing after, brings every gallery the site shows the public, and each gallery lands in a folder of its own named after it.
NeoDownloader knows SmugMug by its .smugmug.com addresses. A photographer's site shown under a domain of its own is not recognised as SmugMug at that address.
SmugMug Links NeoDownloader Accepts
- A whole site - the name and .smugmug.com, with or without https://
- One gallery - the site's address followed by the gallery's path
- One photo - its own page, ending in /i- and the photo's code
SmugMug Downloads Beyond One Link at a Time
Services that save a single link stop at that link. NeoDownloader starts from an address, goes through all it leads to, files everything beside the page it came from, and on a later run skips what it already has.
SmugMug Downloader FAQ
How do I download a whole SmugMug gallery?
Copy the gallery's address from the browser and paste it into “New project”. Gallery Downloader takes the photos the gallery shows and puts them in one folder.
Does it download original photos from SmugMug?
Yes, wherever the photographer offers originals to visitors. In a gallery that stops at a display size, you get the largest size it shows.
Can I download every gallery on a SmugMug site?
Yes. Paste the site's home address, the name and .smugmug.com alone, and its public galleries come down together, each in its own folder.
Why is a SmugMug site on its own domain not taken?
NeoDownloader recognises SmugMug by the .smugmug.com part of the address, and a site under its own domain does not show it.
Is NeoDownloader free to use with SmugMug?
Yes, with no trial period to run out. The free version has no time limit; Premium lifts its limits on the number of files per project.
Bring a SmugMug Gallery Home
Paste a gallery's address and keep its photos on your own disk, gallery by gallery. The free version has no time limit.
