Are you downloading from www.icloud.com, or are you using the Photos.app on your Mac to download from iCloud Photo Library?


  • In the Photos.app at www.icloud.com you have to hold down the command key 8cmd) while clicking the photos you want to download. Then click the download button in the toolbar to download all selected photos at once. If you hold down the options key, you will see a little arrow to the right of "Download". It will allow you to select the original image files for downloading, rather than the edited versions.
  • But running the Photos.app on the Mac will allow you to download all photos from iCloud at once. Photos will sync with the library in iCloud, if you enable iCloud Photo Library on your Mac.
