Downloading Photos from Seesaw

Don’t forget to download your child’s photos from Seesaw over the Summer holidays.

Please ensure you do this by August 31st as your child’s Seesaw Profile for this year will be archived at the start of September.

Here’s how to download a .zip archive of a Seesaw journal, including images, videos, audio recordings, and text notes or captions.

Please use a computer and a Chrome or Firefox browser only, the .zip file will not download on a mobile or tablet device.

1. Sign into your Family account at https://app.seesaw.me.

2. Click your Profile Icon on the top left.

6. Click the Download Journal button for the journal you want to download. This might take awhile depending on your Internet speed and how many posts your child has in Seesaw.

This is what you get! It is organised by month and then ordered by the date the post was added. You’ll see an html file with a thumbnail, text notes or captions, folder names and links. You’ll also see the original image, video or audio files.

Please note, Seesaw do not yet support the download of comments – so you will need to print directly from Seesaw if you want these too.
