If you have thousands of photos, it’s a pain to find the ones you want to extract. Another con of this method is you can’t really specify which album or photos to include. However, the quality of exported photos is kind of poor, they are not the same size compared to what you originally uploaded.

Besides media files, you can also export your friends’ list and chat logs. What I like about this method is that the process is quick, it took me only a few minutes to back up all the data which is perfect if you decide to close your Facebook account for good. Also, make sure to back up your PC and Mac just in case. After you download all your photos or albums, I highly recommend you make at least one backup to an external hard drive. Therefore, I’d rather not take the time to actively monitor each of those tools. Quick Note: Thanks for all your feedback! It’s a bit tiring to update this post because many apps and Chrome extensions that used to work now don’t, due to frequent Facebook API changes. For those who want to close their Facebook account, you can do so without worrying about data loss. You could then keep those digital memories in a safe place, or share them with family members offline. Even better, you’ll get the exact albums/photos you want without sacrificing image quality. Imagine, with only a few clicks, you get a copy of all your favorite pictures.

That’s why I decided to write this post – sharing a number of methods to download ALL Facebook photos, videos, and albums the quicker way. What if you have a thousand pictures to download? I bet you don’t want to save them one by one. Just hover over the image, right-click or tap on the image and select “Save Image As…”, pretty simple, huh? You know, it’s easy to save a single photo on Facebook.
