Cool Tools-- To back up your FB pics and the pics in which you were tagged in..

                 
                         Facebook has for a long time been the place where we post our photos online. Why? Because it’s a convenient place where everyone we know can see what we’re up to. But what about an easy way to make sure those photos are safe should anything happen to Facebook or our own profile?Sure, you might have those original photos on your laptop or phone (or both) and you're hopefully backing them up in your laptop, but how do you save and back up all of the other photos uploaded by others, which you’ve been tagged in????
                       Thankfully, there are several tools you can use. Some are automated, while others require your manual efforts, but all ensure that your photos are safe and securely backed up.


1) Using Facebook archive:-

           The Facebook Archive method is done directly through Facebook – no third-party apps are included in this process. To access this, go to your account settings. You should be taken automatically to the General tab on the left side. Click the link under all the information that says "Download a copy of your Facebook data”.


You’ll be brought to a page full of information about what data will (and will not) be included in the download. It’s important to read up on this information, so to save you the trouble of finding the different links, they’ve been included below:

• How can I download my information from Facebook – Facebook Help Center
• Accessing Your Facebook Info – Facebook Help Center
• Downloading Your Info – Facebook Help Center

There is also the option to download an expanded archive as well. Information about this is in the links above and the link to access this is on the primary page for downloading regular archive.The advantage with it is it is reliable and the major disadvantage is it is a manual download.



2) Pick &Zip:- Pick&Zip is a web app that you connect to your Facebook account. Once connected, photos and videos from pages, groups and what you’ve uploaded or been tagged in are displayed.The interface is very easy and straightforward to use. Simply select the photos you want and download them. You also have the option to download all your tagged photos, albums and videos.

NOTE: Like any Facebook app, it’s important to be aware of what you’re connecting to your account and the permissions which it has.

3)photoGrabber:- PhotoGrabber is a lightweight desktop application. It’s compatible with both Windows and Mac. Once you download, unzip and run the application, you’ll be prompted to connect it to your Facebook account.

Once the process is complete, you’ll receive a unique code which you’ll then paste into the PhotoGrabber window.

Check the desired boxes, click “Begin Download” and that’s it! It seems like it’s going to take a while, but in my case it downloaded all the photos quite fast. It also sorts the photos out by owner and album.

  Use these tools and cherish your moments by backing up your pics..
