How to Download Images from Google Maps

Google Maps is a beautiful tool for learning about almost any place on earth, partly due to its devoted user base. Users on Google Maps can submit reviews of places they've visited and even upload photos of them for others to see.

User reviews and photos let others use Google Maps to learn what they think of a place before visiting. Restaurants might have pictures of their menu and food, while parks might have images of neat points of interest.

When browsing photos on Google Maps, you might stumble upon one you want to save to your phone or computer. Unfortunately, Google Maps makes downloading these photos far more insignificant than straightforward.

In this post, we'll show you how you can download images from Google Maps on your Laptop, Android / iOS phone, or tablet.

Before downloading images from Google Maps, remember that they may be subject to copyright. Always refer to Google's geo guidelines when using their tools.
