  3. And that only works on you own personal Photobucket album pictures, it doesn't work on other members pictures. HRP

    Hello,
    When you see the that particular logo or other trademarked logo, it is asking to not use them or get permission to use them. The photographer or company that owns the rights doesn't want a lot of copies made. But, in Photobucket's case, they tricked a lot of people with no clue as to saving your own photos or those copied from the web. Then, being a big, but mean company, the put their logo on every photo until a yearly cost was sent in to them. That was the ransom. Some people will pay the ransom and then get those photos out of Photobucket to their own safe and secure external hard drive.

    There is virtually no cost for the external solid state, hard drives. (The cost has gone down so much since those big external spinning disc hard drives...) They are small, portable, fit in jacket pockets and have no moving parts. The old external hard drives had the circular discs spinning. That was good while it lasted, but the new generation solid state drives are the answer to most everyone's problems.

    There is one last resort you might try. Sometimes a Google search from the Photobucket photo was somewhere on the web and a search may by pass the captured logo. Those aren't all original photos, but copies of copies. So, a Google search may turn up the original or second generation copy without any logo. Just right click on a photo and go to Google search for that photo. Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

    You could get a 1 month photo bucket subscription and then download all your pics from photo bucket and download elsewhere. I've considered it, not sure if there a minimal # of months you have to subscribe to.
