Saving Photos from Any Orkut Album

You must have noticed that Orkut disabled Right-Clicking on photos in others albums recently. I guess their motive was to disallow people from saving personal photos from others albums. I feel what they have done now is quite unnecessary, considering the fact that Orkut is already giving every user the option of locking albums and restricting the access to a particular set of friends only.
There will be a lot more people who will upload photos of parties and get together on their Orkut Albums and ask their friends to take a copy from there. But now that they have disabled Right-Clicking, let’s check out what are the other possible ways to save photos from albums:
1)The first method any Internet User will think of is taking screenshots and cropping using simple software like IrfanView. It’s a convenient method if you want to save only a couple of photos.
2)But, if you want to save the photos from an entire album, it’s becomes a tedious job to take screenshots and crop it every single time. The best alternative is to:

  • Click on the Photo.
  • Drag the Photo to the URL of your browser and Drop.
  • Bingo! The link location is displayed and the photo is displayed in full length in the body which Right-Click Enabled!
  • Now, you can Right-Click and click Save Image As” to save it to your drive.

Our author Sauravjit Singh listed few more ways to save display picture of any orkut profile. All techniques listed in his article also apply here.
Firefox user can also try Background Image Saver Firefox Addon for one-click direct links to all such images.

oh my,,,what an idea sir g ,,its really working ,,thanks for that

Praveen January 18, 2009

Thanks to everyone who replied with their compliments!

Rishiraj Singh January 22, 2009

I have a better idea.
Install Firefox Add-on FireGestures and from the options menu map the save image function by any mouse gesture like up, down, left, right or by middle click, so u can save any image just by simple gesture in one step.

Rahul Bansal January 26, 2009

@Rishiraj
Avoid addon as much as you can!
Every addon makes firefox slower for sure.

Praveen Kumar January 23, 2009

@above – But that will increase the initial start up time of firefox! Follow the method mentioned in the post as it is definitely the easiest thing to do with any external code or plugin!

rinku January 31, 2009

sruthi June 5, 2010

hey in new orkut i am not able to drag the pic…. just try it and tel me someother trick to copy the whole image

Try this September 4, 2010

The above option would not work in Orkut latest version. Here is the latest crack (using Opera)

1. Open the album.
2. Select the photo.
3. Right click and use “Inspect Element”.
4. You can see the full path of jpg in the tag.
5. Click to open in a new window.
6. Right click and save the jpg.

Praveen September 5, 2010

You can’t drag and drop photos from the album to the address bar. But (in firefox) you can:

1. Click once inside the photo area you want to save.
1. Right click and select ‘View Selection Source’
3. In the ‘DOM Source of Selection window’ copy the long URL given in the second tag and paste this URL in a new tab/window and hit enter.
4. Bingo! You now have direct access to the pic! Right click and Save, as usual!

🙂
