Use the Download Hyperlink
There is a Download hyperlink just below every photo hosted on Facebook:
Or it is present in the Options Menu, if you are logged in and viewing the photo in Photo viewer:
When you click on it, the photo will get downloaded onto your computer’s hard drive in its original resolution.
If you don’t want to download the photo, but want to access it in your browser only, then right click on the hyperlink and select Copy Link address (for Chrome) OR Copy link location (for Firefox):
This will copy the download link into your clipboard. Open a new tab and paste the download link in the URL bar and remove ?dl=1 present at the end of the URL:
This should open the photo in high quality.
Open image in new tab
There are lots of people who save photos from a website by first Right clicking on them and then they select Save image as OR they first open the photo in a new tab and then save it:
If you try to do this on Facebook, then Facebook will resize the photo and you will have to remove its resize value from the URL.
For example, this photo of resolution 2048×1536 was resized to 720×540 in my browser. But, when I remove p180x540 from the URL, I can access it in its original size:
Important Notes:
1. The resize value is different for different Facebook photos. For example, the resize value of this photo (720×405) is s720x720 and when you remove it, the resolution becomes 1280×720.
2. You can see above trick in action in following video:
3. The trick works with all Facebook profile, page and group photos.
