Google keeps your Blogger images "in the cloud," online. But where?
Blogger images did not make the switch to Google Photos when Google phased out Picasaweb, its original online photo album.
Instead Google created the Album Archive as a stripped-to-its-basics online repository for Blogger and other legacy images. View yours here.
Your blog has an album in the archive. But what you can do with that album is extremely limited.
Uploading an image into a blog post using the Insert Image tool stashes the image file online in a blog-specific album bearing the name of the blog.Your blog has an album in the archive. But what you can do with that album is extremely limited.
This album is in a kind of album-of-albums called "Photos from Blogger." Accounts with multiple blogs will have multiple blog albums.
Here are the important things you can do in the Archive:
- View Album contents
- Delete images and albums (which deletes them from your blog)
- Download images to your device
For your own peace of mind, don't think of this feature as an actual album that you can tweak and share. You can't!
Think of your blog's album as a kind of window into the place where Google (not you) stores the files you have uploaded to other Google services.
Google's full-featured online photo album, and its successor to Picasaweb, is Google Photos.
The Album Archive is just an archive.

Strange... there should be over 160 pictures in my Album Archive, but there are only about 20 pics. So, I still don't know where my pictures are. But that doesn't matter anymore since you can not manage them. I don't like this from Google.
ReplyDeleteView, download, delete—that's it. But Google Photos has all the usual bells and whistles for an online photo album.
DeleteAs for your missing photos: are you aware that each blog has its own folder? There is also the possibility that some of them were uploaded from another account (so would be in that account's albums).
My pictures are there in the Album Archive, and I see them in the Blogger Insert Image window, but they have disappeared (most, not all, and not the very latest ones posted yesterday) in the actual blog page, replaced by a graphic that looks like a minus sign in an oval.
ReplyDeleteHi Halekini,
DeleteThis looks like a job for the Blogger Help Community!
When you post there, be sure to include a link to a blog post that illustrates the problem.
And do you know how to see all the videos uploaded to blogger? and of course how to download it
ReplyDeleteThat depends on when you added the video, and what system. To be honest, I do not think I could answer in every one of those cases.
DeleteIf you are having a problem with this, I encourage you to take it to the Blogger Help Community.
hi bro,
ReplyDeletecan i download the whole folder for it? i mean for my blog?
@Ashikur, I recommend using Google Takeout for batch downloads.
