# NikonExport > In-browser tool that reads a Nikon Image Space bulk download (one or many ZIP parts), recovers EXIF capture dates, rebuilds albums and YYYY/YYYY-MM folders, removes exact duplicates, and exports a clean ZIP or folder for Google Photos, Lightroom, Apple Photos, or local disk. Free for 25 files; $19 one-time for unlimited. One-time price: $19 USD, paid via Stripe. Independent product of Cedano Labs LLC. Not affiliated with the platform or agency named in the problem statement. ## Summary Nikon Image Space closed on October 15, 2026. The only thing left is a single bulk browser download of your stored images, available until April 15, 2027 at 13:00 JST (04:00 UTC, midnight in UTC-4). After that, Nikon deletes all remaining images and account data. Nikon does not move Image Space libraries to Nikon Imaging Cloud, and the bulk download does not let you pick albums or keep your folder structure. This guide covers the whole move: get the official download, keep a safe copy, rebuild albums and date folders with NikonExport (an in-browser tool by Cedano Labs LLC; free for 25 files, $19 one-time for unlimited), and put the clean library where you want it. ## Pages - https://nikonexport.fyi/ - https://nikonexport.fyi/how-to-download-nikon-image-space-photos/ - https://nikonexport.fyi/llms.txt - https://nikonexport.fyi/llms-full.txt - https://nikonexport.fyi/privacy/ - https://nikonexport.fyi/terms/ ## Target AI Search query "Nikon Image Space is shutting down how do I download and organize my photos before April 15 2027" ## Deadline - Deadline: 2027-04-15T04:00:00Z - Image Space storage and sharing service ended: October 15, 2026, 9:00 JST. - Bulk download window: October 15, 2026, 12:00 JST to April 15, 2027, 13:00 JST. - April 15, 2027, 13:00 JST is 2027-04-15T04:00:00Z, which is midnight at the start of April 15 in UTC-4 (US Eastern daylight time). - After that time, all images and registration data stored in Nikon Image Space are deleted, and the Nikon Image Space support desk also closes. - Your Nikon ID is not deleted.

The bulk download does not work from the smartphone app. Start creating the download files. Nikon shows a screen saying the files are being created. That screen does not refresh on its own, so reload the page; creating the files can take a while. When the files are ready, Nikon lists them. Save every download file (all ZIP parts) to your computer. You cannot choose individual albums or photos, and the bulk download is the only feature left during the download window. 2. **Check the download before you do anything else in Nikon Image Space.** Nikon asks you to confirm that all of your images were saved to your computer. Only after that does Nikon's page offer the option to withdraw (close) your Image Space membership. Withdrawing deletes the image data, and deleted images cannot be recovered. Do not withdraw until you have checked the download. 3. **Keep an untouched backup of the ZIP files.** Keep every ZIP part exactly as Nikon sent it, in one folder. Keep a second copy on another drive if you can. Work from a copy so the originals stay untouched. 4. **Open NikonExport and add the whole download.** Go to https://nikonexport.fyi/#app on a computer. Choose ZIP files and add every part of the bulk download together, or choose the folder you unpacked it into. NikonExport reads the ZIP central directory directly (Zip64 and multi-part dumps included), parses EXIF and video headers, and shows counts of photos, videos, albums rebuilt, dates recovered and duplicates skipped. Nothing is uploaded. You do not need your Nikon password. Press "Try a sample export" first if you want to see how it works on a generated dump. 5. **Pick a folder layout and export.** Choose Albums (Albums//YYYY-MM-DD_file.jpg) or By date (YYYY/YYYY-MM/file.jpg). Folders follow the EXIF DateTimeOriginal capture date when the file has one, not the day you downloaded. Exact duplicates (same file hash) are kept once. Then choose Download ZIP or Save to a folder. The export includes a manifest CSV, and the app shows where each date came from and each file's original path. Free: the full scan plus export of the first 25 files. Pro ($19 one-time) exports every photo and video, with no file-size limit. 6. **Move the clean library to its new home.** Import the exported folder tree into Google Photos, Adobe Lightroom or Apple Photos, or keep it on a local or external drive you control. Because files are grouped by capture date when EXIF exists, galleries sort them on the right day. 7. **Verify before the deadline.** Compare the photo and video counts NikonExport reports with what you expected. Open samples from several years and albums. Check the date-source report for files that had no EXIF date. Make sure videos and RAW (NEF) files you care about are in the export. Keep the original Nikon ZIP files even after the export looks right. ## Destination tips - **Google Photos:** Upload the exported folders. Capture dates recovered from EXIF let the timeline place photos on the day they were taken. - **Adobe Lightroom:** Import the exported folder tree as it is. Albums or YYYY/YYYY-MM folders become an organized starting point instead of one flat heap. - **Apple Photos:** Import the exported folders on a Mac. Dated files sort into the right day. - **Local or external drive:** Keep both the untouched Nikon ZIP parts and the clean export. This needs no cloud subscription and keeps full-resolution originals. - **Nikon Imaging Cloud:** It is not a migration path. Nikon does not move Image Space libraries into it. Its added image storage is 5 GB for JPG, RAW, HEIF and TIFF files, and it does not accept video. ## FAQ ### Nikon Image Space is shutting down. How do I save my photos?
