Facebook Album Downloader: Download an entire Facebook Album easily
Facebook is one of the most popular social networking website presently. Despite being a ubiquitous platform for sharing photos on the web, Facebook still has a few crippled features. One very important feature missing from Facebook is a method to download entire photo albums. While one can always download the pictures from Facebook one by one, it certainly won’t be feasible when you want to download hundreds of your photos. Fortunately there are many third-party applications which can help you in this.
Download Facebook Album Photos
Facebook Album Downloader is such an easily accessible piece of software which helps you download entire photo albums from Facebook, with the least amount of effort. It is a Java-Based application with a user-friendly interface.
Use Facebook Albums Downloader
To use the Facebook Albums Downloader you first need the Facebook tokens which can be obtained by logging into your Facebook account using http://fad.eu5.org. The program then displays a long stringof characters.
· Copy the string and open the Facebook Albums Downloader. Paste the string of characters and click on ‘All Set’.
You will now see all your Facebook friends’ thumbnails. You can select a friend whose albums you want to download by clicking on his/her thumbnail picture. The program also shows the preview of your albums, making the selection easier.
· If you want to download your own albums; click on your image and move to ‘Albums’. Select the album from drop-down list and click on ‘Download’. The download speed depends on your internet speed and the size of your Facebook album.
The ‘Downloads’ tab shows the current albums downloading in your PC. If it shows you download stack is empty, that means the pictures are already downloaded and saved in your system. The downloaded album is saved in the default output location in your PC.
Overall. Facebook Albums Downloader is an easy way to download your and your friends’ entire Facebook photo album with minimal efforts. While writing about the Facebook Album Downloader I realized that any of your Facebook friends can now download your entire photo album. Thus one should be very careful while setting the Facebook Privacy or while adding unknown people on your Facebook friends’ list.
