SUMMARY

Disclaimer: this extension is not supported or related to Facebook in any ways.

This extension aims to help you download your Facebook photos (uploaded by you or tagged by your friends), for backup purposes in case you lose access to your Facebook account.

Our tool is very simple to use, just follow the instructions below and you’re all set:

Step 1: Install the extension in your Google Chrome browser and pin it.

Step 2: Open your Facebook Photos page.

Step 3: Click on the extension icon and select a folder on your computer to save the images.

Step 4: Follow the steps and our tool will start downloading your photos one by one, automatically.

Step 5: Open the folder to view your photos.

All the photos will be in their original size, there will be no quality loss (unlike the ones you get from Facebook’s backup utility).

Our tool is not perfect, right now, there are two things we need to improve:

1) The download speed is not super fast, based on our testing experience, to download 100 photos you'll probably need to wait about 2 minutes (provided that your Internet speed is not slow).

2) Right now, the extension only works for pictures under “Photos of You (or your friend)” and “Your (or your friend’s) Photos”, it doesn’t support “Albums” yet.

These limitations are due to that we use a different solution to make the tool work – without relying on Facebook API, we are aware of these drawbacks and are working hard to improve them in the next update.

But hey, it’s also because we don’t rely on Facebook API, our tool will probably still work all the time (unlike other tools that rely heavily on Facebook API, which changes frequently and can cause many third-party tools to stop working).

Update Note 2024.2.24:

The updated version fixes these issues or improves:

1) Supporting different Facebook versions from different languages.
2) The download speed is much faster then the initial version.
3) Fixed some technical bugs.

Update Note 2024.6.21:
