Can I get all my photos off Facebook?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

You can definitely recover all your photos from Facebook. The process involves downloading your information from Facebook. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Log in to your Facebook account.
2. Look for the small arrow icon located in the top-right corner of the Facebook page and click on it.
3. From the drop-down menu, select “Settings & Privacy” and then click on “Settings.”

Now you should be on the main settings page.

4. On the left-hand side of the page, you’ll see a column with various options. Look for and click on “Your Facebook Information.”

Now, you’ll be on the “Your Facebook Information” page.

5. In the middle of the page, you will find an option labeled “Download Your Information.” Click on it.

This will take you to the “Download Your Information” page.

6. On this page, you can customize what information you want to download. To recover your photos, make sure to check the box next to “Photos and Videos.” You can also choose the format (HTML or JSON) and the date range for the photos you want to download.

7. If you want to include other information, such as posts, comments, and messages, you can check those boxes as well. However, for the purpose of recovering your photos, only selecting “Photos and Videos” is sufficient.

8. Once you have selected all the options you want, click on the “Create File” button at the bottom of the page.

Facebook will then start generating your file, which may take some time depending on the size of your data.

9. Once the file is ready, you will receive a notification from Facebook. You can either download it directly or access it from the “Available Files” section on the “Download Your Information” page.

10. Click on the notification or the file link, and a zip file containing all your selected data, including photos, will be downloaded to your computer.

11. Extract the contents of the zip file to access your photos. You can then organize and store them as you prefer.

Remember, the downloaded file will contain all the photos you have ever uploaded to Facebook, so it might be quite large. Make sure you have enough storage space on your computer or external storage device.

I hope this guide helps you recover all your photos from Facebook.
