Question from Velma P.: I hope you can help me Rick.

My daughter helped me get on Facebook so I can talk to her and my grandchildren and share pictures back and forth with them (they live out of state).

She sent me some pictures last night that I’d really like to print but I can’t figure out how to do it. I’m still learning how to use this thing and I’m doing pretty good, but this has me stumped.

Can you tell me how to print photos from Facebook? My computer has Windows 10.

Rick’s answer: Velma, there are many things that aren’t all that intuitive when working with Facebook, and printing photos is one of them.

As you’ve already discovered, you can’t simply right-click on a Facebook photo and click “Print” as that option doesn’t exist.

There are a number of browser extensions that allow you to print photos directly from Facebook, but I no longer recommend any of them because a couple of the extensions that I used to recommend eventually went to the dark side and morphed into malware.

Luckily, there’s an easy way to print your Facebook pictures from your computer without using any third-party software at all. Here’s how:

1 – Scroll through your Facebook photos until you find the photo you want to print, then click on that photo to open it on its own page.

2 – Right-click on the photo and click Save as.

Note: Depending on the way the photo was uploaded to Facebook, there might be a “Print” option available directly on the pop-up menu. If so, you can use that instead of saving the photo to your computer before printing it.

3 – Save the photo to your computer’s Desktop.

4 – Right-click on the saved photo and select Print from the drop-down menu.

5 – Select the print settings that you want and insert a sheet of photo paper into your printer.

6 – Click the Print button.

7 – Repeat steps 1-7 for each of the other photos you wish to print.

Of course all of the above assumes you’re using Facebook in a web browser on a laptop or desktop computer.

Unfortunately, things are a bit more complicated if you use the Facebook app on a mobile device. However, you do have a few options:

1 – Connect your device to a computer with a data cable and copy the photo(s) to the computer, then print them from there by following the instructions listed above.

2 – Temporarily remove the SD card from your device and connect it your computer, then navigate to the photo(s) and print them.

3 – Use a third-party app to print your photos. Some printers come with an app for printing from Facebook.

If yours doesn’t you can always use the app from either Walgreens or CVS to have them print your photos for you.

That’s all there is to it Velma. Once you have your photo(s) on your computer they should print just fine. You now have a copy on your computer as well as the original(s) that’s still in your Facebook account.

Bonus tip: Since you’re new to Facebook I recommend that you read this post to learn how to protect your Facebook account from hackers.

Facebook’s endurance as a social media platform serves as a collection of photos and written memories for many. With its timeline option, you have a clear path down to go down memory lane. What photos did your family tag you in during the last holiday?

Jump ahead to these sections:

Access Your Photos
Choose a Store

Who posted that one great photo of you at graduation? Facebook touts an audience of over 2 billion, so the number of check-in opportunities and photos captured is extremely vast.

For varied reasons, sometimes you want to pull some of those photos off Facebook. Maybe the best picture of you and a group of loved ones exists only online and you want to frame it. Or, you need to download these photos from someone else’s account, to maintain access to keepsake memories.

Whatever your intent is, at some point you may ask yourself: how can I download and print photos from Facebook?

Access Your Photos

This first thing you'll want to do is make sure you can access all of your Facebook photos.

Step 1

Save your photos. Since Facebook isn’t primarily an image-sharing platform, downloading your photos can be a bit tricky. You can do it on your smartphone, but it may be easier to organize and review them on your home computer. In addition, it will avoid using precious phone storage. There are two choices to save your photos.

Download them individually. This is a great option for your own photos, or someone else’s. You don’t need to access their account to print them—you can save them individually.

Click on the post containing the photo, and hover your mouse over it. After a few seconds, options will appear at the bottom of the photo—Like, Comment, and Share.

If you look closely, there are two other options in the lower right-hand corner. These choices are "Tag Photo" and "Options." Click on Options and another menu of choices pops up. Out of this menu, select Download. That will save each photo to your Downloads folder.

Download everything. Facebook has an option that allows you to save all the data from your account. If you’re trying to select photos for a project like a memorial collage, it might be harder to sift through.

If your priority is saving memories, reviewing someone’s social media account could provide a keepsake. If you want to download everything, photos and all, go to facebook.com/settings. This will bring up a list of general settings, like your name and contact information.

At the bottom of this list, you have the option of selecting ‘Download a copy of my Facebook data.’ Click this. Then, click Start My Archive. To prevent information theft or hacking, you’ll need to input your password to help Facebook confirm your identity.

What’s included? Facebook will email you a copy of your posts, videos, and photos that you’ve shared to your page. It will also email copies of messages and chat conversations, and any information filled out in the About section.

How can I access these photos? As mentioned above, you’ll receive an email with a link referring you to a "zipped file," or a truncated file that expands once you open it on your computer.

Once again, you’ll be asked to type in your password, and the file will start downloading. Once you locate the file in your downloads, you can open and "unzip the zipped file." There will be a Photos folder inside. You can open it and view all your photos.

Step 2

Upload them to a photo printing site. There are lots of photo printing options these days. You can print and pick up your photos at a physical location, like Walgreens or CVS. But you can also use online services like Printique, Shutterfly, and Snapfish.

For most services, you’ll need to create an account to choose what you want. Do you want your photos printed onto products, like a mug? Or do you want high-quality printed photos?

Step 3

Select your options, then click the Upload button. This lets you upload that folder of photos you downloaded from Facebook, or individual photos as well. To save money, don’t upload everything all at once.

Review the folder full of your photos and select the ones you want to make sure you’ll only get copies of good photos. Then, follow the prompts. You can pick the size, finish, and more. Once you’re ready to complete your order, pay online and wait for them to be delivered to your door!

Choose a Store

You might not want to use online photo printing services. In that case, physical store locations have partnered with Facebook to print photos. Walgreens is a good example. Other stores have done it too.

Step 4

Download the app. Most stores offer an app for your use to make it easy to access any relevant services you may need. Make sure you create an account and download the app, which is usually available for free.

Step 5

Connect the app and your Facebook account. Once you’ve logged into the app, tap the Photos icon. This will change slightly for each individual store—but the basic steps remain the same.

Tap on the Photo icon, and then tap Prints. This will take you to a list of options, and Facebook is one of them. Tap on the Facebook icon, and then log in to connect your account to the app.

Step 6

Choose your photos. Facebook has many uses, including sharing photos. Given its myriad of user options, you may not be able to find all your photos instantly. From individual posts to photo albums, collecting them in one place may be time-consuming.

However, once you’ve found them all, select the ones you want to print. This will upload them to the app you’re using, and you can tap Next.

Step 7

Choose your size. To start, decide on specifics. How many photos do you want, and in what size? If you’re making a memory board, it might be easier to pick uniform sizes.

Whatever your project is, you have the option to change sizes for each image. To do this, tap on the Add Size button underneath each photo. If your budget is tight, check on pricing. It usually changes by size, and 4 by 6-inch photos are typically cheaper than larger alternatives.

Step 8

Complete your order. Most stores run photo printing sales during certain times of the year. The holidays, or back-to-school time, are both great chances to save.

Everyone wants pictures of their kids to keep or to send holiday cards for extended family. Check for sales, or look online for coupons. If you have a coupon code, tap the Apply Coupon button. Type it in and tap Apply, then Next.

Step 9

Pick a location and contact information. What store are you ordering from? Most cities have a CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, or other major supermarket chains.

If you have location services turned on, your phone will automatically select the store closest to you. If you want them sent to a different store, input that information. Then, enter your name, phone number, and email address. For most stores, you don’t need to input payment information. You can pay when you pick up your photos.

Step 10

Check out. You’ll need to make two more decisions before submitting your order. Your phone will display choices—do you want to receive future information and promotions from the store? Select your option.

Then, you’ll need to accept the terms and conditions. You can now tap Submit Order, and you’re good to go!

Get the Prints You Need

Gathering photos might be a last-minute task. It might also be an item on a long to-do list. From going through their estate to figuring out burial finances, you might have a lot on your plate when deciding how to accurately organize a loved one’s memories.

In any event, saving memories can be a very rewarding task. With the ease of taking digital photos, it is likely that you’ll have accumulated a fair amount online. Consider planning ahead and share your end-of-life preferences now. You’ll be able to tell loved ones what to do with your memories so they can also hold onto them and reminisce with fondness.
