Why is the iCloud download button unclickable?

I need to save all my photos on my Macbook before they disappear. Can someone help please? I've tried on Chrome and Safari.

You can only download 1,000 at a time. It’s far easier to enable iCloud sync in photos on your Mac. Open photos and navigate to photos - settings - iCloud to enable the option (do not optimize storage). Your original photos will then download to your Mac.
