Below are those steps, or you can skip down to the next section to learn how to do this through the mobile app.
Download Facebook Photos From the Facebook AppThe steps for saving all your Facebook photos in bulk from the app are similar to the desktop settings.
When to Download All Your Facebook PhotosYou might wonder why you'd ever want to save all your Facebook photos to your computer instead of just keeping them online where they have been for years. There are different reasons for doing this, but the most likely is you're cancelling your Facebook account. You don't have to lose all those precious memories you've stored in photos when you delete your Facebook account. In fact, Facebook provides a way to download all your pictures during the deletion process, because while folks might not want their Facebook account anymore, most want to keep their photos. If you have no intention of deleting your account, you still might want to save all your Facebook photos to your computer if you plan to delete them from your account. Maybe you have some albums full of photos you no longer want your friends to see. Before erasing them, download them in bulk using the directions above. Downloading a Single Album or Photo From FacebookThe instructions described above are not the only way Facebook lets you save your photos offline. In fact, that method is more than you need to complete if there are just a few pictures or albums you want to save. For example, to save an album, find it in your account and use the menu button to find Download Album. Saving a single photo is similar; open it to its full size view, and use the three-dot menu to find the Download button. If you're using the mobile app, open the picture you want to download, tap the three-dot menu, and then select Save to phone. FAQ
