Google has announced that its Album Archive will no longer be available after July 19.
Google Album Archive service let users view and manage album content from some of its products within Album Archive.
The company has now asked users to use Takeout to download a copy of their Album Archive data.
“After July 19, 2023, the Google Album Archive won’t be available. Until then, you can use Takeout to download a copy of your Album Archive data,” according to Google’s support page.
The company also said that content that’s only available in Album Archive will be deleted starting July 19, including — rare cases like small thumbnail photos and album comments or likes, some Google Hangouts data from Album Archive, and background images uploaded in the Gmail theme picker before 2018.
