How to download Facebook albums
If you want to download a Facebook album from your profile, Facebook has an easy way to do it. Again, you don't need third party download apps for this. However, you will need to use Facebook on the web as mobile apps don't allow you to download albums.
Follow these steps to download your Facebook album:
- Log into your profile by clicking on your name.
- Go up Photos> Albums .
- Open the album you want to download.
- In the top right corner, click icon with three dots and select Download album .
- Then, select Continue .
Facebook will get to work creating a compressed folder. Depending on the size of the album, this may take some time. When finished, you will receive a notification informing you that the album is ready for download. Click the notification, enter your Facebook password and select Continue . Your album download will start immediately.
How to download all your Facebook photos
There is also an easy method to download all the photos from Facebook that you have ever uploaded. You will even get them in the right subfolders organized by album. But the filenames can be a little weird.
Here's how to use Facebook's easy built-in photo downloader:
- Go to Facebook settings on your desktop browser or use the link.
- Click on Your information on Facebook in the sidebar.
- Select Download your information .
- Click on Uncheck all , then just check the box Post .
- Choose the quality of the image files in Select file options . We recommend changing from Medium to High if you want full resolution copies. The setting you choose will determine the size of the file. If you have a lot of images, this will increase the file size and the time it takes Facebook to prepare it.
- Then, select the date range. Select Everlasting to include all your photos.
- Scroll down and click Request a download .
Facebook will take some time to prepare the ZIP file, depending on how many photos and videos you have on Facebook. When it's done, you'll get a notification to download it from Available files .
Download and unzip the file to see all your posts and images, with the albums as subfolders.
