Your Nikon albums, back in order.
Nikon Image Space already closed on October 15, 2026. What’s left is a single bulk browser download — no album picker, no folder structure — and Nikon is not migrating your library to Nikon Imaging Cloud (5 GB, no video). After April 15, 2027 at 13:00 JST (midnight in UTC-4), the files are gone for good.

PricingThe problem
You downloaded the dump. You did not get your albums back.
The official mass download is a single package with no album selection and no folder tree. Sorting it by hand before April 15, 2027 is a miserable way to keep a decade of photos.
One giant dump, no albums
The browser download is a bulk package. Nikon does not let you pick albums or keep the folder structure you spent years building.
Dates and stacks get lost
Duplicates, mixed timestamps, and files named by the download — not by the day you pressed the shutter — land in a heap.
Imaging Cloud is not a move
Nikon is not migrating Image Space libraries to Nikon Imaging Cloud. That service is capped at 5 GB and does not take video.
How it works
Three steps, before the deadline.
- Step 1
Download your official dump
Use Nikon’s remaining mass download in the browser while it is still available. Keep every ZIP the way Nikon sent it. Official details are in the closure announcement and FAQ.
- Step 2
Drop the package here
Add every ZIP part or the unpacked folder. NikonExport reads EXIF dates and album folders, and flags exact duplicates — on this page, without uploading.
- Step 3
Export a clean library
Download a tidy folder tree ready for Google Photos, Lightroom, Apple Photos, or a local disk, with original capture dates from EXIF where they exist.
The app
Rebuild your Nikon Image Space library
Drop the official ZIP download (all parts) or the unpacked folder. NikonExport reads EXIF capture dates, rebuilds albums from the dump’s folders, skips exact duplicates, and writes a clean library — all inside your browser.
Drop your Nikon Image Space ZIP files here
Add every part of the official bulk download (or the folder you unpacked it into). Everything is processed in this browser tab — your photos are never uploaded.
Free: rebuild and export up to 25 files. Free plan
Under the hood
Rebuilt the way a catalog should have been.
NikonExport reads the ZIP central directory directly (Zip64 and multi-part dumps included), parses EXIF and video headers, and writes a library other apps already understand.
- EXIF DateTimeOriginalFolders follow the capture date in the file when EXIF is present, not the day you clicked download.
- Album lines of timeAlbum names and timelines are reconstructed instead of leaving you with one flat heap.
- Hash-level duplicatesExact copies are flagged so you keep one file, not three of the same sunset.

# same hash — kept once in the exportWhat you get
A library you can actually keep.
Built for people who just want their Nikon photos back in a structure that Google Photos, Lightroom, and Apple Photos understand.
Albums and timelines
Series and folders come back as a readable tree, not a single undifferentiated dump.
EXIF date folders
When capture times exist, files are grouped by year and month so galleries sort them on the right day.
Duplicate cleanup
Exact duplicates are detected and listed so you can export a leaner library.
Photos and video
Video is included in the export plan — unlike Nikon Imaging Cloud’s 5 GB, no-video cap.
Privacy-first
There is no upload step. ZIP reading, EXIF parsing, and the export all happen in your browser tab.
Export where you already work
A clean folder tree for Google Photos, Lightroom, Apple Photos, or a drive you control.

Keep the library yourself, for good.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Need the official cutoff in writing? Read Nikon’s announcement.
Nikon closure announcementWhen does Nikon delete Image Space files?
On April 15, 2027 at 13:00 JST (midnight in Eastern time / UTC-4). After that, Nikon says remaining photos and account data are permanently deleted. The service itself already closed on October 15, 2026; only the mass download remains. See the official announcement.
Will Nikon move my photos to Nikon Imaging Cloud?
No. Nikon is not migrating Image Space libraries. Imaging Cloud is a separate service with a 5 GB cap that does not accept video. Details are in the official FAQ.
Do you need my Nikon password?
No. You download the official dump yourself from Nikon and open it here. NikonExport never signs into your account.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The ZIP reading, EXIF parsing, and export all run in this browser tab. Your photos never leave your device.
What does the export look like?
A clean folder tree: timelines, reconstructed albums, folders by EXIF date when metadata exists, and a pass to drop exact duplicates. Ready to import into Google Photos, Lightroom, Apple Photos, or to keep on disk.
What if my dump is huge?
That is the typical case. Work on a computer, keep Nikon’s ZIP parts together, and use Pro to process the full library. The $19 license is not limited by file size.
Is this affiliated with Nikon?
No. NikonExport is an independent tool by Cedano Labs LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Nikon Corporation or Nikon Inc. “Nikon” and “Image Space” are used only to describe the files the tool works with.
What do I get for $19?
Unlimited exports of your whole library — every photo and video, in albums and date folders, with duplicates removed. One payment, no subscription. Checkout is handled by Stripe, and Pro unlocks in this browser right after payment (restore it anywhere with your checkout email).
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Press “Try a sample export” to rebuild a generated Nikon dump, or open your own ZIP: the full scan and the first 25 files are free.
Get your albums out before April 15, 2027.
