Log in to Facebook on your computer.
Go to your Settings by clicking the down arrow next at the top right of the screen and selecting Settings.

Click Your Facebook Information.
Below your information, you’ll see the option to Download Your Information. Click View.

Now you'll have a choice of which data you'd like to archive. If you're only interested in downloading your photos, click Deselect All, then check off only the Photos box.
