From your computer, visit Facebook’s website and log into your account. Click the drop-down arrow found in the top-right corner and then select “Settings & Privacy.”

In the Settings & Privacy menu, click the “Settings” button.

Select the “Your Facebook Information” tab from the left-side pane and then click the “View” button next to the “Transfer A Copy Of Your Photos Or Videos” listing.

You first need to specify the destination of the data transfer. You have three options: Google Photos, Dropbox, and Koofr. Pick your desired cloud storage service from the “Choose Destination” drop-down.

Unfortunately, Facebook only lets you send either your pictures or your videos in one go. If you want to migrate your entire media library from Facebook, you have to perform this transfer twice.

At the time of writing, you can’t manually choose which photos, in particular, you want to move. Facebook will copy and transfer everything uploaded to your account. Click the “Next” button once you have decided what you’d like to export first.

On the next screen, Facebook will ask you to sign in into your cloud storage account.

Authenticate yourself, click “Allow,” and grant Facebook permission to add photos and videos to your library.

When you return to Facebook, click the “Confirm Transfer” button to start the transfer process.

The tool runs in the background, so you can close the tab if you want. To check its progress, simply revisit the transfer tool’s page, and the “Activity” section will show you the transfer’s status. The social network will send you a notification once it’s completed.

Facebook transfers your photos and videos in the same album structure that they are available on your profile. Therefore, you will find a new folder called “Photo Transfer” that houses subfolders such as Profile Pictures, Cover Photos, and so on.
