Facebook's image links stop working after some days, so download the images you need soon after the run.

Each run also saves a short report with how many links and photos it covered, and any link it could not scrape with the reason (for example, a Page or album that does not exist or is not public).

How can I use Facebook photos data?

• Brand and competitor monitoring: see what your competitors post and how their visual content changes
• Content research: collect a Page's photos for campaigns, mood boards or archives
• AI and computer vision: build image datasets with ready-made text descriptions
• Marketing analysis: find the themes and formats a Page uses most
• Backups: keep a copy of your own Page's photos and albums

❓FAQ

How many photos can I scrape from one Facebook Page?

Every photo the Page shows to visitors. Leave Photos per Page, profile or album empty to get all of them, or set a number. Big Pages have thousands of photos; a run gets about 1,000 photos a minute from each Page.

What is the photo description?

Facebook writes a short description for each photo, such as "May be an image of 2 people and text". Some Pages write their own description instead. You get it in ocrText.

Can I scrape a single album?

Yes. Open the album on Facebook, copy its link (it contains set=a.) and paste it into the input.

Why does a link come back as "not found"?

The Page, profile or album does not exist, is not public, or does not show its photos to visitors. Such links are listed in the run report; they do not fail the run.

Do I need a Facebook account?

No. You don't need a Facebook account, cookies or an API key.

Does it show the photo date, likes or comments?

No. Facebook does not show them in a Page's photo list. For posts with their reactions, comments and shares, use Facebook Posts Scraper.

Can I connect Facebook Photos Scraper to other tools or AI agents?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants and agents run it through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com.

Is it legal to scrape Facebook photos?

This scraper only collects photos that Pages and people chose to post publicly. It does not collect private data such as e-mail addresses or phone numbers. Photos can still show people and be protected by copyright and laws such as GDPR, so only scrape and use them for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

Facebook Photos Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Facebook or Meta.
