The Microsoft Store provides a secure, verified installation experience with automatic updates and easy uninstall. It is the safest way to distribute Windows apps.

BulkFlick uses Flickr's official OAuth 1.0a flow. When you click Sign In, the app opens your browser to Flickr's authorization page. Once you grant access, you're redirected back to the app. BulkFlick never stores your Flickr password.

Only if you want to purchase a Pro license or manage your license keys. The free app itself only requires a Flickr account.

Sign out and sign back in from the app. Flickr OAuth tokens can expire or be revoked. The app will prompt you automatically when it detects an expired token.

You can choose from Original (highest available), 2048px, 1600px, 1024px, 800px, 640px, 500px, or 320px. The quality selector is visible in the toolbar at the bottom of the app.

Currently downloads run until complete. You can view progress in the Downloads view. Cancelled sessions are not resumed, but you can restart them.

Pro gives you unlimited albums, full pagination, upload photos to Flickr, quality selection (up to original size), bulk album downloads, background download queue, and priority support. Available as a 1-year, 2-year, or lifetime license.

Yes. Go to Support → Remove license on your old device, then activate the key on the new one. One active device at a time per license.

BulkFlick stores your Flickr OAuth token locally on your device (encrypted), your download preferences, and your license key. Your download history is stored locally. We don't sell or share your data.

BulkFlick contacts the BulkFlick API only to: validate your license and fetch in-app announcements. No photo data or Flickr credentials are ever sent to our servers.
