Want to close Facebook account - Can I easily download all my pictures beforehand?

Hi,

I am fed up with Facebook and I want to close my account. The only thing stopping me is all the pictures I have on there. Is there any way I can download all of these including tagged photos to my computer easily without having to click on each one individually?

Thanks

    Yep, there's web browser addons that can do that for you.

    I've been using this addon (for Google Chrome):

    • Thanks for that. I have installed the extension but now I can't figure out how to show the button on Chrome to use it :/

      • Load all the thumbnails of your album, and then an icon will appear on the right side of the URL bar of the browser. Just click that icon and follow the prompts.

    Congrats on closing your Facebook account! You won't look back.

  • Make sure you delete and not deactivate.
    They are two different things and by default Facebook will only want to deactivate your account. When you delete, it takes 15 days to have the account deleted. 14 days its in deactivated mode (instigated by the delete function) and if you try to log in it will fully cancel the delete. On the 15th it should be gone. I waited 21 days before logging just to be safe. Account is now gone.

    • Wut. How are they different? One leads to the other.

    Welcome back to reality - we've missed you (and the other billion odd users)
    The world hasn't been the same without you.

    howabout facebook settings, then at the bottom "download a copy of your Facebook data"?

  • https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
    The only link you'll ever need on the internet :)

  • but how will you get all those freebies and samples?

    • With an empty account where there are no personal details or friends to piss off by sharing stuff.

  • Be aware that all photos that you put on Facebook will remain on their servers.. forever
