After all, it’s much more convenient - upload photos at once and look at them from your device as much as you want, without worrying that your profile will appear among someone’s “important” friends (the more often you visit someone’s page, the higher the risk that your account will rise in the list of his contacts (for knowledgeable users, this is a clear sign of mutual or one-sided interest).

So, as you understand, in this article you will find instructions on how to download all photos from VK at once, in different ways. We'll also tell you how to save photos one at a time, just in case.

Next, in the field that appears, you need to insert a link to the album, user page or community whose albums you want to download, then press Enter or “Search”.
If a community has a large number of photos, you need to wait a bit until the service captures them all. After this, you will see a list of albums of the community or user, and all photos from the wall will also be available. If there are too many photos in the album, for convenience, VooKie will split it into parts of 1000 photos.
Opposite each album there will be a “Download” button and the price that will be charged for downloading.
You need to click the “Download” button. After this, the message “The album has been added to your personal account” will appear and you will need to go to the downloaded album by clicking “Go to album”

#5 Moosic app

Moosic is not available on Google Play, so you need to download the app from a third-party site. Make sure to check the apk file for viruses and allow installation from unknown sources on your device. To make sure that there is no malware in the file, check through the Virustotal service by transferring the file or folder to the panel with one click.

There is also a list of recommended songs that you can also listen to without advertising, just by going to the VK page through the application. The system will show recommended songs based on your interests, and if you like something from the presented content, we add it to your favorite audio recordings and download the selected songs.

Unfortunately, the instructions are only relevant for Android, bypassing the Play Market service.

since there is no such application on the iPhone, and on iOS everything is installed only through the Apple Store and a single Apple ID account.

Ways to pin a post on a group wall or your VKontakte page

Compared to other services, vkpic has two disadvantages : a limited number of downloads and the inability to download from friends’ pages.

VK photo mngr

To download all photos from a VKontakte album, you need to install a browser extension. Further:

Click on the extension icon that appears, click “To come in”;

The plugin will automatically log in under the currently active account. If after the login procedure the account is not displayed, you need to press the “ F5 ” button on the keyboard;
select the “tab”Download album”, select the one you need from the drop-down list, then click “Download”;

The most inconvenient thing about this plugin is that it does not download photos, but only collects links to them into one text document. To download images to your computer, you need to use a third-party download manager, such as “Orbit Downloader” or “Download Master”. After installing one of them, you need to import the resulting text document as a source:

In the manager window, click on the “File", Further "Importing a list of downloads”;

in the window that opens “Filter“make active item”Select all” and click “OK”;

This completes the procedure.

Browser extensions

Where are we without extensions? They can always come to our aid, including today. Let's look at a couple of them that seemed the most interesting to me.

Savefrom.net

The most famous, multifunctional extension is Savefrom.net, which allows you not only to download music from VK, but also to save entire albums. And most importantly, this add-on is supported by such well-known browsers as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Oprea, etc. But I will show the example of Google Chrome, because there is one nuance.

First you need to go to the website and select the “Install” menu. On the newly opened page, click on the “Download” button. The service will automatically select the add-on version specifically for your current browser.
When the installer downloads, click it, then follow the instructions, with only one condition. You can check the boxes for all browsers available on your computer, but be sure to uncheck unnecessary boxes, as I did in the screenshot. And if you use Google Chrome, then make sure that you have a checkmark next to the “TamperMon” item, because without this add-on nothing will work. After that, click “Next” and complete the installation. All extensions will install automatically.

Well, now that everything is installed, go to your VKontakte account and select the photo menu, then click on any of your photo catalogs.

The only thing is, before downloading an album with photos from VKontakte to your computer, check your browser settings. For example, if you use the Google Chrome browser, then go to “Menu” - “Settings” - “Advanced”. Below, find the “Downloaded files” option and make sure that “Always specify a download location” is disabled. The fact is that the extension only works with automatic downloading.

Please note that you now have a “Download Album” link, which was not there before. Click on it, after which a window with information about the number of photos in the catalog will suddenly pop up. All you have to do is click “Continue” to start downloading.

After uploading the first photo, you will see a window where you will be asked for permission to download several files at the same time. Agree, otherwise the first time I thought that this was the subscription window and closed it, and then I thought that Savefrom was buggy.

The method is very simple, interesting and easy to use. The only drawback I probably mentioned is that each file is downloaded separately, and not in one archive, as is usually the case.

VK photo mngr

The addon for the VK photo mngr browser has also proven itself well. You can find it in the Google Chrome extension store if you use this browser. Then install it as a regular extension.

After installation, click on the icon that appears in your extensions area, and then click on the “Login” button. You will be logged in automatically using the VKontakte account you are currently using. There is a possibility that your login will not be displayed, but this is just a glitch. Refresh the page ( F5 ) and you will see your first and last name.

Now you will need to click on the “Download album” tab and select the existing collection from your page from the drop-down list. After that, click on the “Download” button. And this is where the fun begins.

You won't see any photos. All you will receive is a text document with links to each photo individually. You can see this for yourself by pasting any of the links into the address bar. In order to download them in bulk, you will need to install a download manager, for example.

After installing the program, you will need to import the file that we downloaded using the extension. Just be sure to select the TXT file type for the application to see it.

In the window that opens, select “Filter” and select everything to download the entire selected album from VKontakte. Then, enter the name of the new folder to save and start downloading.

Of course, at first glance it’s somehow very tricky, but in reality there is nothing complicated. However, I did find a couple of disadvantages:

For convenient work, you need to install a separate program, which is not very desirable.
You can only download albums that you have created personally. That is, no photos from the wall, photos in which you are tagged, images from communities, photos of friends, etc.

But nevertheless, many Internet users prefer to use this extension.

VK Paranoid Tools

VK Paranoid tools is an application with many functions that does not require installation. Also, for full functionality, authorization on a social network is not required. You just need to download the program and run it. Then:

go to section “Photos" In the input field, enter the link to the desired user or group from the VKontakte website, click on the button “ Get albums”;
on the left side, in the area “User Albums” select the one you want and press “Download album”;

After downloading is complete, click on “Go to folder”;

Hiding groups and interesting VKontakte pages

The results will display the number of errors that occurred during the process. The only drawback of the program is that it needs to be downloaded to a PC.
