What about your Ancestry photos?

A GEDCOM export carries the tree but not the images. Two good routes for those:

  • Family Tree Maker: if the family archivist syncs the tree with FTM, its media folder holds every attached image at full quality β€” the archive imports that folder wholesale, titles and all.
  • By hand for a few: open the photo on Ancestry, view the full-size image, save it, then add it through Bulk upload (avatar menu) β€” duplicates you already have are recognised and skipped automatically.
More sites (FamilySearch, MyHeritage, …) can be added to this guide as family members need them β€” ask, and it'll appear here.
