Help Backing Up My Imgur Account Photos

[Sharpstick68]

I am trying to download all media I have on my Imgur account, and I know they have an option to 'Download account images' in settings, but when I click on that it just downloads a small zip file with nothing in it, don't know why. Is there a way I can back it up some other way? I have about 3,000 pictures on there that I'd like to save.

I just tried to do the same steps on my side but I had the same issue. I submitted a ticket to Imgur about it, if they get back to me I'll let you know what they say.

Unfortunately I can't find another way of doing this. All the options I've found out there are for downloading albums which isn't what you're looking for.

Ok, nevermind I found a solution. I just made a new album and moved all images to that album. Then I had to manually select all images, luckily imgur lets you draw and select multiple images at once, and once I had all images selected I was able to generate links for the pictures/media and download them all that way via jdownloader. If you want to try that method, @Nick H.

Ah, ok. I didn't realise it was that simple to create an album. If it worked for you then great!

I don't need to download my images - they're mostly just screenshots for posts made here at Neowin. I was just testing it after I saw your thread.
