   • If you are not yet logged in to Facebook, please enter your email address (or phone number) and password in the upper right corner of the page.
2. 2 Open the image you want to save. Scroll through the News Feed and find the photo you want to save, or go to the page of the person who posted the desired image.

   • If you are not yet logged in to Facebook, please enter your email address (or phone number) and password.
2. 2 Open the image you want to save. Scroll through the News Feed and find the photo you want to save, or go to the page of the person who posted the desired image.

Tips

• Element Parameters for the images you added contains more items than the same item in the images of other users.
• If you want to save the photo to your computer, you can also right-click the photo and select Save picture as ... (or a similar item) in the context menu, then specify the desired folder and click OK.
• Team Ctrl+S on a PC (or ⌘ Command+S for Mac) will prompt you to save the entire web page, not the selected image.

Warnings

• The images that are posted on Facebook belong to the people who posted them. No need to re-publish someone else's pictures on other pages without the permission of the owner and a link to the author.
