Download your personal data from Facebook



Facebook got a new tool that lets you to download a copy of your information, including your photos and videos, posts on your wall, all of your messages, your friend list and other content you have shared on your profile. Within this zip file, you will have access to your data in a simple, browse able manner (it may not be complete in some cases).

To begin this process, go to your Account Settings page, then click the "learn more" link beside "Download Your Information." From there, click the "Download" button.


Downloading a copy of your information may come in handy if it only exists on Facebook. For example, you may have lost your mobile phone, which contained many photos you took using that phone. If you had uploaded those photos to Facebook, then downloading your information lets you get copies of them back on to your computer.
