It is a common
tendency to upload our photos and videos on Facebook, we might want to download
a copy of it for various reasons like data backup or close the facebook account etc.,
Whatever the reason
might be, there is an official way to download all our Facebook data without
having to use third-party apps, plugins or extensions.
Here is the easy way
to download facebook photos/videos
Download Facebook
Photos/Videos
Login into your Facebook
account and then click on the little blue arrow at the top right of the screen to
download Facebook data, towards the bottom of the menu, click on Settings.
Click on that link and
you’ll get a short description of what kind of data your archive will contain.
To start the archive, go ahead and click the green Start My Archive button.
This will bring up
another popup window where you have to confirm that you want to download your
archive.
Once you confirm by
clicking on the second Start My Archive button, you’ll see a message stating
that you will get an email once your archive is complete. After a little while,
you should receive an email with a link to your archive.
Click on the link and
you’ll see a button called Download My Archive. You’ll need to
re-enter your Facebook password again before you can download the archive.
Depending on how much
you upload to Facebook, your archive could be several hundred megabytes in
size. The archive will be in ZIP format, so you’ll need to unzip it first to
see the contents.
The archive is broken
up into three sections: html, photos and videos. The html folder contains all
your posts, locations, tags, etc. in HTML format that you can view in your web
browser.
The Photos folder contains all
your uploaded photos and synced photos from your mobile phone. The only thing
is that each album is represented by the numeric code used by Facebook rather
than your album name.
Hope this is useful.
