Hi , 

Shutterfly sent emails that at the end of the month they are deleting all your photos if you do not buy something .....ummm

So I need to find a Windows program to bulk download the full size photos , not just the thumbnail,

It would also be nice to download  Auction  photos from Bring a trailer , 

Any ideas ?   
 

Thanks and check your email for the Shutterfly notice.

You'd be looking for web scraping software, which is usually in the form of an API or library rather than a GUI for end users since they are usually set to work by another program rather than a user through a GUI or even a CLI. It's hard to find good info on the free software out there because commercial interests are chumming up the search results, especially for no-code solutions....I'll do some more searching after work.

If you can use Chrome, this extension works perfect.

This could be a good option.

I found this software but I wonder if its crawling capabilities are complex enough to handle a modern website with arcane and complicated URL structures:

We have used Shutterfly maybe once or twice a year, but never with any photos not also stored elsewhere. I didn't even know that Shutterfly was an option as a primary photo storage location. I guess I can be done not that I've learned my 'something new' for the day.

In reply to GameboyRMH :

We use that extension to download 100s of photos a day, for at least 2 years, with 0 issues. It's why I recommend it.
