How do I download an entire icloud photo album

I want to download and backup and entire photo album that is stored on icloud. How do i do this? I am using the web access, not the app. The only option I can see is to download each image individually. I want to download an album of approx. 2000 photos.

I have the same question, but my purpose is not to back up. I want to consoldate all of my photos into one cloud storage location and I am trying to determine the best vendor (e.g. Amazon, Microsoft, etc), therefore I need a way to mass download all of my photos.

Thanks,

Joe

If your talking about the iCloud not just the Photo Stream

Here you go

Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support

Best of Luck

The link says to:

In iOS 8 or later, select Download and Keep Originals, then import the photos to your computer.
In OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 or later, open the Photos app, then select Download and Keep Originals.
Use iCloud.com to download the most recent version of photos and videos to your computer.

But I still don't see an option to download an entire album (rather than each photo one-by-one). I also don't see anything that says "download and keep originals"....
