Updated on
We've all been there—scrolling through Facebook, getting lost in a sea of memories. Whether it’s that hilarious group shot from last summer's barbecue or the candid family moment captured during the holidays, Facebook is like a digital scrapbook of our lives. Sometimes, a digital photo just doesn't cut it. There's something special about holding printed photos in your hands, framed, decorated on walls or in your bullet journals.
In this post, I'll guide you through steps to print photos from Facebook, including the tricks to download all kinds of images, and upscale them for sharp, print-ready resolutions.
Quick Glance
- Use the Meta accounts center to download all your photos
- Or selectively download any photo you want
- Save full size photos without compressing
- Upscale to print-ready large resolution at 300DPI
- Print photos from Facebook via online services or using home printer
Part 1. How to Print Photos from Facebook with Best Quality
To achieve a high-quality print, it's recommended to use a 300 DPI setting. Let's say you want a 16x24 inch photo; the best resolution would be 4800x7200, calculated like this:
Width: 16x300 DPI = 4800; Height: 24x300 DPI = 7200.
If the photos you saved from Facebook are old ones posted years ago, they may have suffered from platform compression, or the original camera resolution might be low.
Fret not! You can use AI-driven software to upscale images with realistic details. Follow the steps below.
1. Download the Facebook photos to your local disk.
There are several ways to download them, such as saving the entire albums or just a few special moments. For the details, jump to the Part 2 below.
2. Make sure you have full size resolution for printing.
When printing photos, resolution matters—a lot. If you don't have the highest resolution available, the print quality will be poor, which can result in blurry or pixelated images, wasting both your time and money.
Facebook often compresses photos, especially when uploaded through mobile devices. This can result in reduced quality for printing. To get the best quality possible, you can use Aiarty Image Enhancer to upscale and enhance images.
The tool is AI-powered to restore heavily compressed images, fix blurriness, pixilation, and upscale low resolution to 4K/8K/10K and higher.
The best part? This AI image upscaler and enhancer is extremely easy to use — even my 70 year old grandpa managed to upscale our family photos.
Step 1. Click the buttons below to download Aiarty Image Enhancer.
Step 2. Launch it and drag and drop downloaded Facebook photos into the working panel.
Step 3. Upscale your Facebook photos for the best quality print.
- Choose an AI model. I recommend using Real-Photo model for photos, and More-detail model for other digital images.
- Choose upscaling multiples or set a custom resolution to upscale to.
For instance, you can boost the resolution to 4K, 8K, 10K and higher. Larger print size requires higher resolutions to avoid pixelation and blurriness.
The AI model will auto inference and denoise images when necessary. You can check the effects in real time preview window, and drag the lines to compare.
As you can see from images above, Aiarty does an excellent job to make a photo clear and clean.
Once you are happy with the enhances images, click Run to batch export these photos to your local drive.
3: Choose the right printing option.
Print at Home: If you have a high-quality photo printer, printing at home can be convenient. Just make sure you're using good photo paper and selecting the highest resolution settings in your print dialogue.
Online Printing Services: If you want the best quality without investing in equipment, online printing services like Shutterfly, Snapfish, or Printique are great options. Many of these services offer professional-grade paper and the ability to print in larger formats without sacrificing quality.
