Use this guide to export and download images from any Google Business Profile.
âš¡ UpdatedThe Phantom Chrome Extension makes it possible to easily export and download images and media data from any Google Business Profile. Currently, Phantom supports downloadable exports of individual photos associated with each Google Business Profile in addition to graphed data.
Follow these steps to export Google Business Profile photos and photo data:
Note: Phantom must be installed in order to access the export feature for Google My Business. You can install for free on the Chrome Webstore.
Once Phantom has been installed, it will be enabled by default for Google Chrome, allowing you to analyze and export photo data using Phantom’s Photo audit button, which will automatically display in Google Search & Maps on Google Business Profiles.
Search for the name of your business (or a competitor) in Google Search or Maps. I recommend using the the following branded search + locality format to ensure the results you want: business name + locality
For example, Napoli 3 St. Charles
Once you’ve found the business profile that you want to analyze in Google Search or Maps, click the Photo audit button.
Once the photo audit finishes running, you’ll be able to use the 📈Export Data and the 📷Export Photos buttons.
📈 Export Data: This button will export data associated with the graph, which tends to be more helpful for auditing your Google Business profile to understand how your photo uploads compare to top ranking competitors.
📷 Export Photos: Alternatively, this button will export data about each individual photo on the Google Business Profile. This includes the date, author name, and photo URL.
Additional details about each export can be found below…
The Export Data button can be used to export data associated with the graph
The following photo data can be exported using the 📈Export Data button…

| Total number of photos analyzed | The total number of photos found by Phantom |
| Date of most recent photo | The date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the most recent photo upload |

| Total number of photos from customers | The total number of photos uploaded by customers and individuals who do not have permissions to the Google Business Profile |
Note: You can easily export other types of data using Phantom’s Export button found in Google Search & Maps.
Phantom also makes it possible to export and download data as a CSV file that contains every photo that has been uploaded to the Google Business Profile (by customers and by the business). To export and download this info, use the 📷Export Photos button…
