I would like to know if and if the answer is yes, then how can the recipient download pictures.

I have sent some friends a copied link to some photo images. If I send them a link, can they download the pictures from that link? Again ... if the answer is yes, then how do they go about do that?

    Hello,

    You have a few ways of offering images for free, you can decide which is best.

    For the whole kit and caboodle, you will need to use the 'Download All' tool from your Tools menu within the gallery; this is available only to you, the account owner. This will send you an email with a link to a .zip file of your gallery and you can forward that onto your clients.

    If you want to offer individual images, you need to turn off right click protection and enable 'Original' as the largest viewing size in the gallery. Both of these are in the Tools -> Gallery Settings menu under Security and Privacy. Once you have that, your visitors to that gallery can either right click -> Save As on the photos or when they mouse over them, they will see a folder with a green arrow going into it as seen here: http://smu.gs/H5zwof. That is the icon to click to download the original sized file.

    If you want to go a step further, you can actually add some fancy code to your site to make this even easier.

    With best regards,
