Transfer to Photobucket

Photobucket(Opens in a new window) is a photo storage site that requires a paid subscription. After a free 21-day trial subscription, your choices include a 25GB plan at $6 a month or $65 a year, a 250GB plan at $8 a month or $87 a year, and an unlimited plan at $13 a month or $141 a year.

After you’ve set up an account, return to Facebook and open Settings & Privacy > Settings. Go to Your Facebook Information (Your Information in the mobile app) and choose Transfer a Copy of Your Information. Click Next, then click the button for Choose destination and select Photobucket from the list.

You can then choose what media will be transferred over. You can select only photos, only videos, only specific date ranges, or only specific albums or videos. Sign into your Photobucket account if prompted and allow the necessary permissions. Click the Confirm Transfer button and wait for the transfer to complete.

After the transfer is done, sign into Photobucket. Depending on what you opted to transfer, you’ll see a folder for Facebook photos and a folder for Facebook videos. Look through the folders to see the transferred files.
