time you exported, simply select **export data** again and click on
**resync**.

# Import from Amazon Photos
Amazon Photos does not provide a way to export all of your photos and videos, or
even albums with a single click.
According to their [help desk
article](https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GVCELKY5JW77VE7W),
you have to select and download photos individually.
Once you've done that, simply drag and drop this folder into [our desktop
app](https://ente.io/download/desktop), and Ente will take care of the rest.
> Note: In case your uploads get interrupted, just drag and drop the folder into
> the same album again, and we will ignore already backed up files and upload
> just the rest.
If you run into any issues during this migration, please reach out to
[support@ente.io](mailto:support@ente.io) and we will be happy to help you!

# Import from Apple Photos
The Apple Photos app provides an easy way download all your data.
Select the files you want to export (`Command + A` to select them all), and
click on `File` > `Export` > `Export Unmodified Originals`.
![Apple Photos - Export](export.png)
In the dialog that pops up, select File Name as `Sequential` and provide any
prefix you'd like. This is to make sure that we combine the photo and video
portions of your Live Photos correctly.
![Apple Photos - Sequential file names](sequential.png)
Finally, choose an export directory and confirm by clicking `Export Originals`.
You will receive a notification from the app once your export is complete.
Now simply drag and drop the downloaded folders into [our desktop
app](https://ente.io/download/desktop) and grab a cup of coffee (or a good
night's sleep, depending on the size of your library) while we handle the rest.
> Note: In case your uploads get interrupted, just drag and drop the folders

# Import from Google Photos
Follow the following steps to recover your data from Google Photos and preserve
it with Ente.
### Steps
1. Open [takeout.google.com](https://takeout.google.com).
2. Click on "Deselect All" (since by default all Google services are selected).
![Google Takeout - Create a new export](google-photos-1.png)
3. Scroll down to find Google Photos in the list and select it by clicking the
check box next to it.
![Google Takeout - Select Google Photos](google-photos-2.png)
4. Click on the button that says "All photo albums included".
5. Select the albums you want to export.
![Google Takeout - Select albums](google-photos-3.png)
6. Scroll down and click on "Next Step".
![Google Takeout - Next](google-photos-4.png)
7. Select "Frequency" and "File size" depending on the amount of storage on your
system and click on "Create export". Make sure you select ZIP as the format.
![Google Takeout - Frequency and file size](google-photos-5.png)
8. Wait for Google to send you your data.
9. Open [our desktop app](https://ente.io/download/desktop), click on "Upload",
select "Google takeout" and pick the ZIP file you just downloaded.
![Importing Google Takeout into Ente](google-takeout.png){width=400px}
10. Wait for the uploads to complete as Ente parses the metadata generated by
Google, and preserves them along with the corresponding files, end-to-end
encrypted!
---
In case your uploads get interrupted, just drag and drop the file again and we
will ignore already backed up files and upload just the rest.
If you run into any issues during this migration, please reach out to
[support@ente.io](mailto:support@ente.io) and we will be happy to help you!
> Note: When importing a Google takeout, Ente will parse the metadata in the
> JSON files and stich them together with corresponding files. However, one case
> this will not work is when Google has split the export into multiple parts,
> and did not put the JSON file associated with an image in the same exported
> zip.
