Printing out Facebook photos

8 replies

Mayhemmumma · 19/07/2023 13:45

I would like to 'give up' Facebook, I spend too long scrolling, I've not got any other social media but have been on FB for years.

I've documented my children's baby days up to eldest being about to start high school.

I'm really careful with who can view photos but I think it's time to take them down.

Has anyone used a company to print out photos - id like them in a book with dates on/under.

Happy to throw money at this but don't know where to begin.

SnapFish do some great photo books, I have used them a good few times.

If you're getting rid of your photos completely from off your Facebook, and don't have them saved anyone else, then you could also buy a USB memory stick (£6 on Amazon), and save all your photos onto there, so then you've still got a personal copy of them all that is not online, and only accessible by you.

FB do their own. Think it's called past book. You can choose which photos you want in the book.

Photo books and free prints are great. Your allowed to print off around 40 off free and just pay p&p. You can order more if you wish. I’ve had the Photobooks as well (same company I believe) and they’re excellent. Hard covers or soft, you choose what you want. Delivery is fast too.

Do you not have the originals? Facebook reduced the quality of the image.

This is really helpful thank you.

I've not got all the originals, especially the old stuff.

This explains why mine look awful.
I spent ages saving each image to my iPad last year when I wanted to deleted FB but when I tried to print a couple out the quality was horrendous.

The originals were uploaded from a camera onto an old computer that died. We all used to just use FB as photo storage years ago. Stupid mistake.

I've done the same and used Snapfish. They often have good deals on their site.

Also I kept the messenger part of Facebook and sent my photos to myself on messenger just Incase.
