There are tons of gorgeous images on Flickr which you can easily browse using the website’s built-in slideshow tool. But what if you wanted to download a few of them? Either you do it one by one – which is obviously quite a boring task – or you use Downloadr, a great little app I had the chance to review last week.

Downloadr is a simple program that lets you download multiple images from Flickr. It enables you to search for images using various filters and criteria, like tags, username, a string of text or the place the photo was taken. You can also refine the search by date or set the program to only show images with Creative Commons license – quite handy if you’re searching for photos you intend to use on your website.

Once you’ve located a bunch of images you want to download, the process to get them to your hard drive couldn’t be easier.  Simply select the images with the mouse (using the Ctrl key if selecting more than one) and press the Download Selected button. Choose the folder where you want to store them and you’re ready to go. The program will download all the selected images, picking the highest resolution available automatically.

Downloadr stands out for other features: it lets you preview selected photos before downloading them, with a link to the original image; includes all the technical information (the so called EXIF data), tags and other details about the image displayed on the Flickr website; and can be configured with your Flickr username to create a backup copy of all your photos.
