How to Capture Facebook Album Posts

Capturing Facebook album posts one image at a time

When capturing a Facebook post that contains multiple photos (also known as an album post), each image must be captured individually. This ensures accuracy, but does require a few extra steps.

Step 1: Open Each Image

  1. Click on the thumbnail or the “+4” (or similar) icon that indicates additional photos.

  2. Use the arrows to navigate through each photo in the post.

Step 2: Copy Image URLs

  1. For each photo, copy the unique URL from your browser’s address bar.

  2. Paste these URLs into a document or spreadsheet (Excel works well) to keep them organized.

  3. Continue until you’ve saved the URL for every photo in the post.

Step 3: Capture Photos and Videos with Batch Social Media

Once you have your URL list, you can capture the photos as PDFs and the videos as playable MP4 files in a single Batch job using the Batch Social Media tool in your Portal.

  1. In your Page Vault Portal, navigate to Batch > Social Media.
  2. Select Bulk URL Capture.
  3. Select Facebook from the platform dropdown.
  4. Paste in all of your collected URLs — photos and videos together — one per line.
  5. Toggle on Capture Embedded Videos so videos are saved as MP4s alongside the PDF captures.
  6. Authenticate your Facebook session using one of the following:
    • The Page Vault Chrome Extension (if you're signed into Facebook in your native browser), OR
    • Enter cookies manually — toggle this on and paste your Facebook cookies. See our Copying Cookies Guide for help.
  7. Choose your destination folder, name the job, and add a Case Matter ID if needed.
  8. Start the batch job.

Each URL will be captured as a PDF with comments expanded, and each video URL will be saved as a downloadable, playable MP4 file. Everything is delivered to the same folder in your Portal once the job completes.

Batch jobs run in the background on Page Vault's servers, so you can close your browser and monitor progress from the Job History page in your Portal.

Notes

  • Each photo will be saved as a separate PDF with comments.

  • If needed, you can manually merge the individual PDFs into a single file during export.
