Once you have a smartphone–iPhone or Android–for any length of time, you'll quickly discover that the device makes it super easy to take pictures. Of everything. Lots of them. All of them irreplaceable.
If you're like me, in no time, you'll have thousands of photos on your device. Whatever your device is, the huge number of photos would seem to pretty much bake you into that operating system when it comes time to upgrade or you risk losing easy and convenient access to your photos and videos.
If you've recently made the switch from Android to iPhone (or the other way around), it's now a lot easier to move your photo library to your new device. With the Google Photos apps for iOS, macOS, and Windows, migrating your photo library from an Android device to an iPhone is now fairly straightforward (and vice versa).

It's also a good reference for loading your photo library to both ecosystems, which is a good strategy for backing up and keeping your photos safe. Even if your photos are all within the Apple ecosystem, Google Photos for iPhone is an easy backup option that's cloud-based and worth looking into. Using one doesn't mean you have to stop using the other. Plus, because it's Google, you can access your photos from just about anywhere (Unless you're my dad. Seriously, Pop, get a Gmail account).
Field Guide, a Gizmodo site, recently published a great post detailing how to easily migrate your photo library from Google Photos to Apple Photos for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It might take some time and a lot of bandwidth, but doing so will allow you to take your entire photo library to your new device, keeping the easy access of your irreplaceable photos and memories.
The Google Photos desktop client for macOS doesn't have two-way sync, but the one for Google Drive does. First, go to Google Drive on the web, open the Settings page (via the cog icon) and tick the box marked Automatically put your Google Photos into a folder in My Drive under the General tab.
I didn't previously know that trick using Google Drive. The post guides you step-by-step and gives you a good idea of what to expect, regardless of your smartphone or computer operating system.

I've been using Google Drive to create and manage almost all of my projects, including my writings at SoftwareHow.
One problem (more like a hassle) I've faced with Google Slides, a sub-product of Google Drive, is how to save an image or several images inside the presentation slides — especially when those images look really good or contain valuable information.
Unfortunately, Google Slides doesn't allow you to directly download images or extract them to a local folder on your desktop. It just reminds me of the old days back when I used Microsoft Office PowerPoint, which also makes it hard to export pictures.
However, there's a quick way to get around that and save the images to your desktop. You do NOT have to download or install any third-party extensions or plugins.
Although our site, SoftwareHow, is supposed to introduce good software to help our readers solve computer-related problems, it's not necessary when it comes to addressing a small issue like extracting images from Google Slides.
Here's how to do it:
Please note that the screenshots below are taken from my MacBook Pro. If you're on a Windows PC, they will look slightly different. But the steps should be quite similar. If you find any dramatic differences worth pointing out, let me know in the comments and I'll update this post to make it more easy-to-follow for PC users. Also, I created this simple presentation in Google Slides to make the tutorial easier to follow. My goal is to save this awesome photo to my computer desktop.
P.S. I hope Thomas (my teammate here at SoftwareHow) won't mind me using this photo. He recently bought a new camera, and it seems his cat Juniper is also excited…seriously, she is reading the user manual! :=)
Step 1: Move your cursor and select the image, then right-click and select 'Copy'.
Step 2: Open the main Google Drive page, hit the blue 'NEW' button on the top-left, then select 'Google Docs'. It'll create a new Google doc.
Step 3: In the newly created doc, right-click and select 'Paste' in order to save the image you just copied from the Google presentation.
Step 4: In the Google doc, click the menu and select File > Download as > Web Page (.html, zipped).
Step 5: Wait until the zipped file completes downloading, then click to open the file.
Note: On macOS, the .zip file can be opened automatically. I'm not sure if it's the case on Windows 10.

Step 6: Go to Downloads, unzip the archive, locate the folder called 'images', open it and you'll see all your images. Now I can add this photo of Juniper to my Photos app.
This is by far the quickest and most effective way I've discovered to save an image from Google Slides. Plus, you can extract multiple images and download them in one zip file, which saves time. Another reason I like this method is that the image quality is exactly the same as the original file — same size, same dimension. I use the same technique to extract images from Google Docs as well.
Any Other Methods?
Yes — but personally I feel they are less efficient than the one shared above. In case you're interested, you may also choose one of the techniques below.
Update: Don't forget to check out the Comments area, several readers also shared some techniques that work.
Option 1: Take a screenshot of the image and save it to your computer desktop.
This method may look like a no-brainer, but sometimes us geeks tend to think too deep and ignore the easiest solution.
If you're like me and use a Mac, first click the 'Present' button to enlarge the slide, then press 'Shift + Command + 4' to screenshot the part that your desired image takes. It'll then be automatically saved to Mac desktop.

If you are on a Windows PC, you can use the print screen option (Ctrl + PrtScr), or use an open-source screenshot program called Greenshot. I won't provide too many details here as the process is quite easy.
Option 2: Convert the Google presentation into Microsoft PowerPoint, then extract the media files.

This is also pretty straightforward. On the Google Slides menu, click on File > Download as > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx).
Once your file is downloaded, you can then refer to this Microsoft guide to get the pictures you want from the PowerPoint.
So, what you think about the preferred method I just showed to you? Are you able to get your images out of a Google Slides presentation? Or did you happen to find out a better trick to get the job done? Please let me know.
