Download executable for your platform from the GitHub [Release](https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader/releases/tag/v1.25.0) and run it 1. Use package manager to install, update, and, in some cases, run ([Docker](https://icloud-photos-downloader.github.io/icloud_photos_downloader/install.html#docker), [PyPI](https://icloud-photos-downloader.github.io/icloud_photos_downloader/install.html#pypi), [AUR](https://icloud-photos-downloader.github.io/icloud_photos_downloader/install.html#aur), [npm](https://icloud-photos-downloader.github.io/icloud_photos_downloader/install.html#npm)) 1. Build and run from the source See [Documentation](https://icloud-photos-downloader.github.io/icloud_photos_downloader/install.html) for more details ## Features <!-- start features --> - Three modes of operation: - **Copy** - download new photos from iCloud (default mode) - **Sync** - download new photos from iCloud and delete local files that were removed in iCloud (`--auto-delete` option) - **Move** - download new photos from iCloud and delete photos in iCloud (`--delete-after-download` option) - Support for Live Photos (image and video as separate files) and RAW images (including RAW+JPEG) - Automatic de-duplication of photos with the same name - One time download and an option to monitor for iCloud changes continuously (`--watch-with-interval` option) - Optimizations for incremental runs (`--until-found` and `--recent` options) - Photo metadata (EXIF) updates (`--set-exif-datetime` option) - ... and many more (use `--help` option to get full list) <!-- end features --> ## Experimental Mode Some changes are added to the experimental mode before they graduate into the main package. [Details](EXPERIMENTAL.md) ## Usage To keep your iCloud photo collection synchronized to your local system: ``` icloudpd --directory /data --username [email protected] --watch-with-interval 3600 ``` > [!IMPORTANT] > It is `icloudpd`, not `icloud` executable > [!TIP] > Synchronization logic can be adjusted with command-line parameters. Run `icloudpd --help` to get full list. To independently create and authorize a session (and complete 2SA/2FA validation if needed) on your local system: ``` icloudpd --username [email protected] --password my_password --auth-only ``` > [!TIP] > This feature can also be used to check and verify that the session is still authenticated. ## Contributing Want to contribute to iCloud Photos Downloader?
