“A decade after Facebook was launched, we’ve made it possible for users to download their information through Facebook,” said Steve Setterfield, Facebook’s director of privacy and public policy. Starting today, the photo transfer tool will help users back up their photos.

This service is developed by the company under the open-source data transfer project. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, and others are participating in the company’s open-source data transfer project.

However, in the first phase, it was started with Google Photos. If you are a user of Google Photos and do not automatically back up your photos to Google Photos, this service will be useful for users like you.
