Saving flickr photos

Nerd10101



Have you ever been on Flickr and you found an awesome image that you wanted to save but you couldn’t? Well Flickr has made an epic code so a “regular” person can’t save the image directly from the website. To be able to do this process you will need a bit of knowledge of HTML, but I will try to make it so you won’t have to. When you come across an image where you can’t save, all you have to do is look at the source code.

Explorer, Opera, Safari or Firefox
Right click the Flickr web page and chose “View HTML source” OR “View page source” – In the toolbar at the very top click “Edit” and then click “Find” in the list. Type “spaceball” in the box at the bottom. You’ll find the full location of the protected image enclosed in the img tag after the line that “spaceball” is on. Copy and paste the URL into your address bar and hit enter. Right click and “Save Image As…”


Firefox only Right click the webpage and click “View Page Info” then click “Media” OR At the very top toolbar click Tools -> Page Info -> Media – Click the first address in the list and press the down arrow on your keyboard until you see the desired Flickr image in the Media Preview Window. Click the “Save As…” button.
