How to rip full Facebook Albums

How to rip full Facebook Albums

Whether you're trying to rip your own albums for safekeeping or collect pictures of that girl you like (stalker), the best way to rip full Facebook Photo Albums is to use an easy to install add-on in your Firefox browser.

Below, I will outline the installation and use of said add-on.

Step 1 - Open your Firefox Browser, click tools, and select Add-ons.



Step 2 - When the Add-On box opens, click on the "Get Add-ons" button.



Step 3 - Type Facepad into the Get Add-ons Search Box and press enter or the magnifying glass.



Step 4 - Click "Add to Firefox"



Step 5 - Click "Install Now"



Step 6 - After the installation is complete, you will have to restart your browser, do that, then log into Facebook and right click on the title of an album you want to download. Select the "Download Album with FacePAD" option.



You can also select an individual page inside the album. This has been glitchy for me though, sometimes it downloads the full album, sometimes it downloads the single page.



Step 7 - Watch as your pics download to your hard drive. The only annoying thing is the pop up message that lets you know that page 1 is being downloaded, then page 2, and if there is a page 3, it lets you know that too. Still, it's better than doing it by hand.
