Facebook Help: How to Save Pictures More Quickly

The new system for saving pictures on a computer can be difficult but Facebook help groups have popped up to engage and discuss some key issues.

For the issue of trying to save a photo to a computer or desktop, one solution is quicker and easier than many people think.
The problem has arisen for some people in the past few months.

Simply put, the old system of clicking "Save as..." to save a picture when browsing a picture album was changed. Now the new display system doesn't offer that option.

Facebook users can "download" a picture but it often goes to a Windows Picture Viewer display at that point. From there, users have to open the picture, but many don't have software for it. Paint is a Microsoft application that can allow someone to save the picture easily.

Even though it works, this way takes a while longer to do than most people would like, especially those who take pictures and download them or save them from Facebook as part of their profession or simply do it a lot because they like to hang onto their memories from the social media site.

Luckily, there is a simple way to help change this and get back to the old style of savable photos.

To get there, simply "refresh" the page when browsing pictures in Facebook. This will take you back to the old style of picture album viewing. Now, you can right click and then choose "Save As..." and save a photo to documents, the desktop, or wherever else you would like to save it.

This method has saved many a great deal of time. Most folks stumbled upon it by accident but it works well nonetheless.

And there you have it, help for how to more quickly save pictures on Facebook. Thanks for reading and good luck trying this trick out in the future.
