Question: Please restore deleted photos from trash folder from last six months
Help me,I was lost rare and important photos. Please restore them.
Hi Raghava,
I'm sorry, it's not possible to recover photos permanently deleted from the Google Photos Trash. However, you may install to your Android device a deleted photo recovery app https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps and run a scan for anything to recover.
In addition I recommend that you contact the Google Drive support team to see if any deleted files may be recovered. Just open the Google Drive https://support.google.com/drive/?hl=en&authuser=0#topic=14940&contact=1 contact form, click Missing or deleted files, select a contact option, and be sure to tell them you permanently deleted files in Google Drive.

Question: Offload photos
Trying to get rid of the photos that are backed up so I have more space
Hi Sean,
>>>> Trying to get rid of the photos that are backed up so I have more space
See:
Always keep irreplaceable images in more than one tool or platform. All my photos are in Google Photos, my laptop, and multiple USB drives.. Remember, it's easy to copy images from an iPhone using the charging cable.
Note: iCloud Photo backup and Google Photos don't play well together.. Don't use them simultaneously..
Also note: you probably can't miss it, but after June 1 all new photos will count against your Google account storage quota.

Hi, Suzette Porter
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
When the edits are substantial, the app doesn't allow to replace the original.
That option becomes visible only when the edits are reversible.
To do so, open the edited picture & tap the edit symbol once again. In the menu at the bottom, the app will show the option to revert the changes. Tap on that & get back the original.

Normally you have to press two buttons at the same time: the lower sound button and the power button.
That will need some training, but if succesfull, you will see a short flash.
Good luck
PS: although this function does not have anything to do with Google Photos, generally screenshots are backupped at Google like normal pictures also if they are shown in the Camera-folder on the Library-page.

Question: I thought all photos and documents uploaded prior to June 2021 would not count towards your free 15G
Reached 15GB limit
Hi Gene Kulesza, welcome to the free, consumer version of Google Photos community forum!
Are you uploading in High Quality, or in Original Quality?
Only High Quality photos do not count against storage. Original Quality will count against your storage limits.
Answer:
Google Voice Product Expert. I started using GrandCentral (the precursor to Google Voice) about one week after it's inception. I've been using Google Voice ever since the acquisition.I live a couple blocks from the beach in San Diego, California, and venture to it frequently.I enjoy a good cup of black coffee and helping people.
Answer:
There is no prof version of this forum :-)
So we are no Google personel, but just experienced volonteers.
If you look under your profile circle right-up, you will see that you were backupping at original quality.
And if you shoot 4K videos with your iphone, 15 GB is filled very fast.
So it must be your own fault.
But you can have your content at Google compressed to high quality by pressing the recover storage button on photos.google.com/settings in the Safari-browser when you log-in with your Gmail-account and then wait a day (or more) to get your counter down to zero for Photos (check on one.google.com/storage).
If you really have such 4K videos, then they will get compressed to normal (2K) videos.
If you don't accept that, you need to start paying Google now.
Good luck
PS: documents like Word-files and PDF's or scanned stuff stored on Google Drive always will count for storage. And Gmail also can take a lot of GB's over years.
PS: after June 1 new uploads in high quality will also start to use space at Google, but about 1/3 of original quality.

Now- with that out of the way let's deal with jha technical world's post in Google Photos.
Please note that, due to a variety of reasons, not all files can be recovered - but you can try!
1. Items deleted from your photos.google.com are stored in trash for 60 days and then are Auto-Deleted from trash and can not be recovered.
2. Items deleted manually from photos.google.com/trash can not be recovered.
3. Items deleted from your YouTube Channel can not be recovered.
4. Items deleted from your Gmail are stored in trash for 30 days and then are Auto-Deleted from trash and can not be recovered.
5. Items manually deleted from Gmail trash can not be recovered.
6. Items deleted from your Google Drive will be stored in Drive Trash for 30 days and then be Auto-Deleted from Trash and can not be recovered.
1).If you are using a regular personal account
You will have to contact a Google Drive Specialist who *MAY* be able to restore it. Use this link:
2). If you use a work/student account (G Suite), you should contact your Account Admin as they can restore files up to 25 days after deletion.

Question: Save photos on sd card
How do I save my pictures on a sd card
Hello Walter ,
- Open Google Photos
- Tab Library
- Tap the desired folder under Photos on device
- Select photos by long pressing then tap others after the tick confirms the first selection
- You can also long press and stroke down to select a batch
- Tap the 3 dot menu top right
- Tap Move to folder
- Tap New SD folder, type a folder name then tap Create
Note that if the photos are backed up to Google Photos this will not remove them from the Photos view and even if the new folder is not selected for Backup & sync any contents will still be deleted if deleted using the Google Photos app.
You should also have a setting in your camera app which saves new photos to the SD card.

Hi, Hanumanth Naik
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
I suggest, you refresh the app through the following steps.
First, deactivate the face recognition option.
Next, clear the cached & stored data of the Google Photos app & then reinstall the app.
You can do that through these steps.
- On your Android phone, open the Settings.
- Tap Apps and notifications.
- Tap Show all apps.
- Tap Google Photos.
- Tap Storage and cache.
- Tap Clear storage.
- Next, uninstall the Google Photos app.
- Power off the phone & then restart.
- Install the latest version of the Google Photos app through the Play Store.
Log into your profile & activate the face recognition once again.
The app will take six to eight hours to bring back the People & pets tab.

Answer:
Hi Evandro, are you uploading the the Google Photos folder in Drive as it doesn't appear to sync to Google Photos. Please try uploading to a folder outside of the Google Photos folder to see if it works, Regards, Peter
Answer:
I'm not sure if I follow your suggestion. The Google Photos folder on Google drive, has several folders representing the date the picture was taken. The ones I'm upload are on Google Photos/2018/04/ folder. All pictures taken from the fone, are being shown on Google Photos and on Google drive as well. The opposite does not work. Pictures saved on drive are not being shown on photos. If I understood your suggestion, I should create a different folder to store those files. Should that folder be on the same level as the year folder, or on the roof of Google drive?
Answer:
I'm not sure, can't actually find any information to say it should and I have seen suggestions which say that the Google Photos folder is system generated for downstream and shouldn't be used for uploading. I will have to monitor and if it becomes a widespread complaint I will be able to file a bug report to get an answer.

====================End Question=====================

Answer:
@David
Go into the settings under your profile right-up, because there you can switch-off such memories from appearing and disturbing your Photos-page.
I have a Dutch version, so I can't tell the exact items, but they are near the top in the settings.
Good luck
Answer:
Hi Rinus
Thank you for answering.
There doesn't appear to be anything in my Google Photo settings that would turn this or and/or remove the panels on my main photos screen.
There is a Settings > Memories > Advanced, and everything was already turned off, but its still happening.
Answer:
Hello David
Still you must be there, but I see in my app that below Advanced there is something more about Presented memories on top of the normal photostream and these items should be switched off also.
Thereafter close the app and restart the phone and open the app again when having good wifi and then have some patience, because Google does not like to close their "showbusiness".
Good luck
Answer:
Hi Rinus
Yes, I see the Settings > Memories > Advanced, and everything was already turned off.



Answer:
Okay David, but then I presume that it will take days or even weeks before they disappear automatically.
I remember me from the past that it also took several days before they did appear.
So have a bit more patience :-)

Question: I wsnt my gaullry voilet delete photos I am take photos in delhi old fort please recover my photos
I am try for find my delete photos
Hi, Israr Saifi
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
Sorry to note your are not finding your pictures.
However. photos do not get deleted spontaneously without any user-initiated action.
Further, when we delete something from the phone, the sync action in the app removes it from the cloud also. The same action happens when we delete something in Google Photos, the app removes the matching content from the phone too.
Nevertheless, any deleted picture is retained in the bin for sixty days.
If your delete action is recent, you will find all the items in the bin. The bin icon becomes visible in the library view. Tap that & recover everything available in the bin.
However, if your delete action has already crossed sixty days, or you have emptied the bin inadvertently, there is no way to recover anything through Google Photos.
However, you may install to your Android device a deleted photo recovery app (be sure to not pick one that requires rooting) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps;
and run a scan for anything to recover.

I am trying to download my google photos to my Chromebook. I select multiple photos and it downloads them as a .zip file. When i open the .zip file it shows them as .tif files. When i double click them a box pops up and says decoding failed. Unable to decode .tif file. How can i view these pictures on a Chromebook? I am wanting to make backups of my uploaded pictures on an ssd. I have 10k photos and i do not want to have right click and save each photo manually. I just want to be able to view them on my chromebook.
Answer:
@Trevor
Having tif-files on Google Photos is quite abnormal and you can't expect that the simple photoviewer on a simple Chromebook is able to show such an archaic fileformat which also takes a lot of space on the small disc, but also in Google-cloud.
On a normal Windows-computer you could have installed a batch-convertor like Irfanview to get good quality jpg-files before uploading. So why don't you have normal jpg-files?
PS: this problem does not have anything to do with Google Photos and with zips.
PS: just checked on my Chromebook - its photoviewer does not support tif-files indeed, but still you can copy them on an inserted sd-card or usb-drive.
Answer:
So I downloaded all of my photos and it appears that only a few are .tif files. These appear to be pictures that were scanned in the early 2000's. Since this only affects maybe 30 photos I will just use a conversion website and convert them to .jpeg. Thank you for the quick response.
Answer:
Okay Trevor, thanks for feedback.
Good that you don't have 3000 tifs from old scans because convertors on the web only can do this one-by-one. Be aware that 90% jpg-quality is good enough.
Best

Updated my Samsung 10 today. Currently, my phone is backing up over 6700 photos to Google Photos right now. I backed up photos yesterday. Should be less than 50 to back up now. This is quickly filling my 2 T of storage. Why is this happening? Is there a way to stop the back up and prevent duplicates from backing up? Could this be from my phone update?
Answer:
@Kelly
6700 normal picture files (no videos) will take about 33 GB if upload with the original setting, so that is minor compaired to 2000 GB (2 TB).
But check on photos.google.com in the Chromebrowser on your Android if you really see duplicates there, because duplicates don't exist in Google Photos. But it may be look-alikes with different metadata.
Like prof-cameras delivering two filetypes per image: raw and jpg.
Please come back with a bit more technical information because hiring 2 TB is quite abnormal also.

I'm a teacher and due to the pandemic, I am ordering photo books for my students. Two things, I have more than 15 students and want a book for each of them, is there a way to get an educator discount? Another question is the turnaround time, school ends on June 11, I would like the last week to be fun so I need the books delivered by June 1. I reside in CA.
Answer:
Hi Steven,
That's a great and creative use of photo books.
There are unfortunately no general educator or other discounts. However, from time to time Google Photos does photo book promotions such as free shipping for a limited time. To be notified of new promotions be sure to turn on in the Google Photos app the option under [your profile photo] > Photos settings > Notifications > Printing promotions. You can check here https://photos.google.com/photobooks whether any promotions are available now.
As for delivery, the printing and shipping of photo books and print products may be delayed due to the COVID-19 situation.

Question: Fix Lighting
The preview of my photo SOMETIMES asks me if I want to "Fix Lighting" but not always does it ask me.…
@Dorothy
In many cases there is nothing to fix and in many cases google suggests to fix lightning, that may be not correct also and can be neglected.
See my example on community site and judge yourself :-)

To my opinion the "improved version" at the bottom is a bit too "artificial".
But most pictures need some general edits like a bit of straightening and cropping and then you also can try to improve the lighting by pressing the first button you will see in the editor.
Warning: for some special edits you need to pay nowadays, but if you don't need more storage at google it does not make sense to pay for these buttons only.

I uploaded a series of photos to my Google drive and they are not being sync with Google photos. The opposite is working fine. All new Google photos pictures are present on drive.
Answer:
Hi Evandro, are you uploading the the Google Photos folder in Drive as it doesn't appear to sync to Google Photos. Please try uploading to a folder outside of the Google Photos folder to see if it works, Regards, Peter
Answer:
I'm not sure if I follow your suggestion. The Google Photos folder on Google drive, has several folders representing the date the picture was taken. The ones I'm upload are on Google Photos/2018/04/ folder. All pictures taken from the fone, are being shown on Google Photos and on Google drive as well. The opposite does not work. Pictures saved on drive are not being shown on photos. If I understood your suggestion, I should create a different folder to store those files. Should that folder be on the same level as the year folder, or on the roof of Google drive?
Answer:
I'm not sure, can't actually find any information to say it should and I have seen suggestions which say that the Google Photos folder is system generated for downstream and shouldn't be used for uploading. I will have to monitor and if it becomes a widespread complaint I will be able to file a bug report to get an answer.
