If I delete my Gmail account, will I lose my pictures? I have kept everything synced.
Myra· Answered on Jul 29, 2024
Yes, if you delete your Gmail account, all the photos synced with that account will be permanently deleted.
Google Photos are intricately tied to your Google account. If you choose to delete your entire Google account, including your Gmail account, you will permanently lose access to your Google Photos. This action will result in the irreversible deletion of all data associated with that account, including emails, photos, documents, and any other information stored in your account.
However, if you only remove the Gmail account from your phone/iPhone, all your pictures are still backed up to photos.google.com. You can access and view them with no images being deleted.
When the decision to delete your Gmail account from Google is made, it's of utmost importance to secure your essential data, including your Google Photos. You can confidently download your Google Photos to your computer or another storage device or transfer them to another Google account if necessary.
Here's how you download photos from Google to your computer:
Step 1. On your computer, visit the Google Photos website. Sign in with your account.
Step 2. Select the photos or videos you want to download. You can use Ctrl + A to select all items.
Step 3. Click More (the vertically stacked three-dot icon) > Download.
After saving all photos from Google to your computer, you can view them anytime you want.
Bonus: Sync Google Account with iCloud
For iOS users, iCloud is the default backup platform. If you plan to switch to iCloud after deleting your Gmail account, there is an easy and quick way to sync your iCloud account with your Google account. Thus, all the photos will be transferred from Google to iCloud. In this case, you do not worry about losing pictures even if you delete your Google account.
Step 1. Launch EaseUS MobiMover on your computer and select iCloud Manager.
Step 2. Sign in with your iCloud account and click Transfer Files between Cloud Drives.
Step 3. Sign in with your Google account and select the files you want to move. Click Transfer to initiate the process.
