Getting Facebook Photos into Google Photos (at Best Resolution)

Just got into Google Photos, handy thing :) But I've done a bit of searching and it seems to be a difficult thing to get Facebook photos synced or copied over at high res! Downloading your Facebook data just gets them at 800x800 or something stupid.

Just wondered who's done this, what method did you use? Just looking to get them all in 1 place.

Cheers :)

    Apparently, you can force FB to store your photos in HD (whatever that means) but it is an opt-in. If you don't, FB downscales your photos pretty drastically - their suggested size for photos is 100kb. Once compressed by FB, I don't think there is any way you can get back the original quality.

    Randombrick is right, unless you specifically chose to upload your photos to fb in full resolution, the photos in fb ARE downscaled by default. You should just get your photos from where you originally took them from (eg your phone).
