Frequently Asked Questions

What policies apply to my transferred data?

Photobucket’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy will apply.

How many photos and videos can I transfer to my Photobucket account?

You can transfer all photos and videos from your Facebook account without limitations, subject only to our terms and conditions.

Where in my Photobucket account can I find my photos, videos, and albums transferred from Facebook?

You can find all your content in a folder created for you titled Facebook Photos or Facebook Videos.

What if I transfer my photos or videos more than once?

Any time that you initiate a transfer, the photos or videos selected will be copied over to your Photobucket account. This means that if you select an album to transfer over to Photobucket two separate times, that album will be copied over twice to Photobucket.

Can I move my photos or videos out of the created Facebook folders?

Yes, Photobucket provides tools that allow you to move any photos to a different bucket or album in your Photobucket account.

What photos and videos can I transfer?

You can transfer a copy of photos, videos, stories, and reels that you have uploaded to Facebook and you can see on your profile. This means that if you posted a photo or video on a friend’s profile, you cannot transfer a copy of that photo or video.

You also can’t transfer a copy of photos and videos you didn’t upload to Facebook, like photos and videos others have uploaded to your profile, even if you’re tagged in it.

Will I lose my photos or videos from Facebook that I transfer over to Photobucket?

No. It is simply transferring a copy of your photos and videos, and they will not be deleted or removed from your Facebook account.
