How many times can I download my digital images?

Overview

Download links are sent by email with time-limited secure tokens. You can usually download your files multiple times within that window — useful if you use several devices or need to re-download after a phone upgrade.

How it works

  • Each purchase email contains one or more secure links to your files.
  • Links remain valid for a limited period after the order is placed — enough time to download and save your images properly.
  • You may click the link repeatedly and download again while it is still active.
  • There is no separate "download limit" on clicks within the valid period, but the link itself will eventually expire for security.
  • After expiry, contact the photographer with your order number to request a fresh link — availability may depend on how long ago you ordered.

Common issues / Troubleshooting

  • Link says expired — the secure token has passed its validity period; request a new link from the photographer.
  • Downloaded but cannot find file — search your Downloads folder or phone gallery; re-download while the link still works.
  • Shared link stopped working — links are personal to your order; family members should receive copies of the saved files, not the email link.

Tips

  • Save files promptly — copy JPEGs to at least two locations (for example, computer plus cloud backup).
  • Do not treat the email link as permanent storage — it is a delivery mechanism, not an archive.
  • Rename files clearly (child name, year, pose) so they are easy to find years later.

Tip: Download and back up your images as soon as you receive the email — do not wait until the secure link expires.
